FRESHMAN YEAR

January, February & March
If you haven't yet gotten involved in any extracurricular activities, now is a good time to start-after all, it's a new year. There really is something out there for everyone. While freshmen members might not get the most glamorous jobs, chances are high that the upperclassmen with leadership roles got started when they were freshmen.

The start of your second semester of high school is an opportunity to start fresh if your first semester didn't go as well as you would have liked.

Check out the spring sports offered by your school, including intramural teams.
Investigate opportunities in your community if school activities don't interest you.
Stay on top of your school assignments, extra-curricular activities, and other responsibilities.
If you're struggling in any of your classes, now is the time to request extra help from your teachers. Don't fail any classes or it might be summer school for you!
