Dear Daniel,
I have got some information for you, you know, about the school year ahead of you, just so it goes as good as it possibly can, and so that your parents and teachers stay happy with you. So, listen carefully, because I will now give you six pieces of information that will help you throughout the entire school year.
1. Listen to the teachers: Do this, and it will affect everything positively, happy teachers lead to happy parents, and that leads to other good things, like privileges, or being able to get together with friends. Also, if you keep teachers happy, then you will keep yourself happy. If you are not listening to the teachers and being rude or uncaring, than that will lead to unhappy teachers, which lead to unhappy parent teacher interviews, and that leads to unhappy parents, and it all reflects back to you. That is bad, you do not want that. So just do what your told in class, and everything will be fine.
2. Get your homework in on time: This is a big one. If you don't get your homework in on time, that leads to homework room, and that's boring. Plus, if you don't get your homework in on time, it will set off a chain reaction, in a bad way, just like when you don't listen to the teacher. If you do get your homework in on time, that leads to happy teachers, which lead to happy parents, which lead to happy things. Plus, if you get your homework in on time, you get to do what you want when you can. But don't do your homework last minute, or it will be bad, and that will lead to unhappy everything.
3. Hang out with your friends, not people you don't know: Why? You might ask. I'll tell you why, because if you do, than you can get to know more people in the older grades as they get accustomed to having a bunch of new kids on the junior/senior high end. Why would it be bad to hang out with them? Because sometimes they might not have the best influence on you. Also, you have your own things to do, like doing homework, instead of trying to seem cool with all the older grades. Don't try to get to know them, because eventually they'll try to get to know you.
4. Do extra if you can: Why, because then you get a better grade. IF, if you don't ramble on and on about the same thing, and if you don't repeat yourself. But, if you can make it better than it is, and you have the time and imagination to make it more interesting, than you will get a better mark.
5. STUDY: I cannot beat this into your head hard enough. Studying will save you many headaches and worries about quizzes and tests. Even if you didn't have to study in elementary to get good marks, you still need to study in junior high, because it is a huge change. You don't get retries on tests and quizzes often, and even if you do, it's still hard to get good grades on. I'll make it short and sweet, if you study, you pass, if you don't, well, then look at it this way, you'll know everything in that grade when you get to do it again.
6. Ask for help: ON ANYTHING, you can ask for help on anything, either from a teacher, fellow student, family, friends, or friends in older grades that have already done what you are working on. Because, I can assure you, they went through the same struggles, so don't be afraid of being judged stupid. Because you aren't , your just going through the learning process like everyone else before you did. So ask for help, that's a big one, it'll also help you a lot. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
That's about it, follow those instructions, be on time for classes, and your life will be easier throughout every grade.
Yours truly,(seriously though)
