If you were to look back on your high school years, what advice would you give to someone beginning their high school career? (Simmons)
High School years, according to me, are the best years of anyone’s life. There is everything in it. You learn, you explore, you make mistakes, you love, you hate, you get jealous, make friends, make enemies, you get stressed, you have fun, you get naughty, you laugh, you cry, you make fun of others and sometimes the jokes on you. One should make the most of these years for they never return. This is the advice I would give to anyone beginning their high school career. Yes, I know many people say this, but I mean it because if I was given a chance to redo high school, I would try to enjoy it more.
A balance is required. One should try to balance the fun parts and the seriousness of the studies. One should have fun but not at the cost of their grades or attention in class. One should try to make good friends because without them, it will be impossible to have fun. But my mother always told me that one should also be clever while choosing them, because bad influence can actually change the way people look at you. She always gave me an example of herself. She went to a boarding school and once while she was in the market with her school friends, one of the girls stole a pair of earrings from the jewellery store. And when the shopkeeper complaint to the school, even my Mum got into trouble because she was in the group too. And speaking of troubles, everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance, but repeating a mistake is a habit and bad habits are just simply bad. When someone gets into trouble during their high school years for the first time, they will be excused (well, they generally are) and one should learn from it and not cry and think that there life is over. One should be careful from the next time and remember that such incidents make good stories when they grow up! And if someone has good friends, good grades, and a good social life, then he or she has the perfect high school life.
I really liked how you used stories to make point! It was helpful to your argument. However i think you used "one should" way too many times in your essay, maybe you could have said it in a different way! I like your advise about highschool though, you showed it very nicely in your essay!
