9th grade is a difficult grade because everything is new, which is totally normal. If you are feeling stressed, don’t be!
Everyone has gone through this emotional rollercoaster of stress, excitement, and nervosity. Just take a deep breath!
This grade is just a taste of what high school will be and you have to worry about a lot of things that you previously did not have to worry about, but that is okay!
Everyone struggles because everyone starts from the same place!
“Start trying out lots of different activities and find what you’re passionate in. It really helps to get that foundation in freshman year so you can start pursuing more focused interests throughout the rest of HS.” - Megan Allen
“Get involved. Find clubs or other extra-curricular activities you enjoy. Band, choir, drama, sports, etc. You’ll make friends, have a purpose, and high school will be more enjoyable.” - Amy Ross
“The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
