Well I am going to give you some points that may help you to have a grate grade 12 year......well were to start....

Enjoy life to the fullest....you are only a kid once.
Trust your pearents they are trying to point you in the right direction.
Study heard and work heard....this is the year to prove your self....all the other years were just warm ups for the finle exame(sp).
Sine up for all the scolerships and burserys(sp)
All the friend you have now...you might now see them again....treasure the memberys and the good times with them.
Trust God for he is there to help you when you fall.
Don't get cought up in the GF, BF busines(sp)....you will be distracked and you will not be able to work to your fullest....Trust me I seen A+ students fail ther finales because they had a GF, BF....I say don't have on untill your schooling is done.
Don't stay up late......go to bed early you will feel better in the mornings when you have a full 8-12 hours of sleep.
Eat healthy...you will have more energy to do stuff.
Go for a walk now and then....It will lower your stress levels.
and Have fun do your best and God bless you

I hope my pointers will help all the Grade 12s now and to come.

Another thing to prepare for... the senior year marketing blitz.
Make sure whatever you buy is something you will keep with you forever.

Senior shirts- don't waste money on this, it'll either shrink or be lost in the closet.
Senior Ring- Save for the college ring, that is more important. Buy a cheap one.
Yearbook- Up to you... at least it'll be on a shelf I guess.
Invitations- You'll barely use a quarter of these.
Pictures- Basic pictures sent me back 200, dang professional.
Misc.- It's your money.

My tip... don't let senioritis get to you.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Take breaks from study everyso often to reinvigorate your mind.
Remember to allow time for fun and friends.
Study hard but sensibly.
Do your best and ask God to guide you.

If you are planning to go to college - be sure to fill out all the scolarships you can get your hands on. It helps a ton if you're dilligent.
Try to pinpoint what you want to major in before you head off to college, and try to determine if you'll like it. (take the career tests, etc.) It simplifies things greatly if you have a plan.

Don't overwork yourself, but don't be lazy either.

And dont forget - you have the power to ask for a Senior Menu/Senior discount at every restaurant you visit ths year. (Sorry, but i loved to do this)

Wow....lots of good points I mist......they are all real good....thanks for you points guys.

I..am..scared...but this helps guys thanks! ^^

I will be entering my senior year, and I was just thinking about how fast the summer has flown by! In less than 2 weeks I am going back to school.. *NOOOOOOOOOO!*

What gets to me most is seeing my friends for the final year... I think my family is planning on moving after I graduate, so I have a big decision to make... Stay here and go to college and stay with my friends, or move with my family... either way it is going to be hard...

Well CR...I am glade that we could help you out....The moving part is hard to do but in the end you will understand your disistion when the time comes. Good luck and God Bless you.

My advice is simply savor everything.Before you know it it'll be time for your
25th Class Reunion and you'll be wondering where the heck time flew.
So have a fun year and savor the last of the teen years.
Saith the one who graduated in '78.

Thanks guys!! this is very encouraging ^^

Your welcome....I am glad you find this encouraging.

If you don't know where you want to go to school or what you want to be DO NOT PANIC! You'll be fine. God will work it all out, but don't stress over it! That was my biggest thing senior year. I stressed out so much I barely enjoyed it.

Listen

Truer words have never been spoken, my friend. Never trust your heart. Trust in God and God alone.

"Drop this course. Drop this course. If you want to get into U of T (University of Toronto), drop this course."

That was written inside my friend's sister's Algebra and Geometry textbook on every page of the first unit. What happened? He/she dropped it.

Actually, I'm going into Grade 12, so I have no advice from experience to give.

<.<

I'll go away now.

We have to carry around these agendas which double as hall passes/daily planners. I used mine as a journal last year. I just scribbled down a thought for each day, and taped in photos and what not.

I also brought a camera for the last week of school and got photos of everyone in my classes.

Don't freak about college --- I thought I knew what I was doing, but changed it about a month before I graduated. Had a loo of back work to do then catching up with scholarships ---- which you should do early because not many people did for my grade, so when 20 people sign up for some 30 odd scholarships, you're odds are good.
