The End of My Junior Year

For my English class we have to write about our best memory, something we have learned over the course of the year, and advice we would give to upcoming juniors.  I would say that the advice part would be the easiest because I have definitely made some mistakes through my junior year and I now know how to fix those.  But first, my fondest memory of my junior year would be junior challenge.  Junior challenge is where my class went to a park and played games and did team building activities to build up chemistry and friendships for our senior year.  It helped us assume the leadership role for next year and come a lot closer as a class overall.  I've learned many important things throughout my junior year.  There are so many that I can't recall any certain one to be more important than the other.  If I had to say, the most important would be to not put things off until the last minute.  Procrastination is not a good thing and here are some examples why, I got my driver's license later than most people because I waited too long to go take the test, I could have done a lot better in my classes if I didn't put off studying or waiting last minute to do homework assignments, and also almost every morning I tried to get extra sleep so I ended up waking up late and arriving to school a little late.  From all of those examples can be taken some good advice for upcoming juniors.  1: DON'T procrastinate, 2: do not come down with senioritis before you are even a senior, 3: work as hard as possible because junior year is probably the most difficult academically.  I feel like if you follow this advice, you can not only succeed in your junior year but also in life.
