ALEXANDRA SANTOLLO: Hello, it’s Alex.
ASHLEY SANTAY: And Ashley again.
SANTOLLO: Today, we want to know what advice you Wizards have for uprising students.
SANTAY: So, we went around asking two of each: freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors what their best advice is.
SANTOLLO: First up, we have freshmen here with me.
EMILY ALDAPE Emily.
STEPHANIE FUENTES: Stephanie.
SANTOLLO: Uh so, what advice do guys have for upcoming freshmen?
ALDAPE : Um, to always do your assignments on time.
FUENTES: To not get the teachers angry.
SANTOLLO: Thank you.
SANTAY: Next up, we have sophomores. I’m here with.
ASHLEY PEREZ: Ashley Perez.
BELINDA FUENTES: Belinda Fuentes.
SANTAY: What’s your advice for the upcoming sophomores?
FUENTES: To pay attention in class and to study for math.
PEREZ: My advice for the sophomores is to not procrastinate, to actually pass your college classes, and to write in your agenda.
SANTAY: Thank you.
SANTOLLO: We’re here with juniors, now. Um can you please say your name?
ERIN ARIZMENDIi: Erin Arizmendi.
GAI MAI: Hi, I’m Gia Mai.
SANTOLLO: What is your advice for upcoming juniors?
ARIZMENDI: My advice would be to not procrastinate, um, and to manage your time well. I’d say, uh try to get all your assignments in, and then I’d say take more in-person classes if you know that they’re online. You won’t have as much energy to, like, actually go up and do them.
MAI: Okay, I’m gonna try to keep it short. Do not take too many classes, at least like two or three. I took four this year, and I would say it’s a bit too much. And then um make sure to do your volunteering, community service hour, and extracurricular. Those are very super important, and yeah.
SANTOLLO: Okay, thank you.
SANTAY: Lastly, we have seniors. I’m here with.
ERICA ESTRADA: Erica.
YARA HAQUET: Yara.
SANTAY: What’s your advice to the upcoming seniors?
ESTRADA: My advice is to get involved in like extracurricular and other clubs, and other outside school clubs like NAC and other stuff.
HAQUET: My first advice would be to stay on top of your grades, because colleges still look at your final transcript. And if you get any bad grades, like, they will revoke your admission. So don’t, like, let senioritis, like um, mess you up. And then also make sure to make memories, like go to events and hang out with friends, because, like, this year will go, like, really fast. So make sure to enjoy it before you all go to different places.
SANTAY: Thank you.
SANTOLLO: Well, I think they gave wonderful advice, we would also like to give our input as well.
SANTAY: I feel like the juniors brought up a strong topic, of not overpacking your schedules. I feel like it could be most likely for us to want to take as many college classes as possible. To make our transcript stand out when graduating. I do think this applies to all grades to help remind them to know your own capability.
SANTOLLO: You wizards should take that into consideration. Also, a common thing that I think everyone said was to not procrastinate regardless of your grade level. And honestly I think every school year, there will be at least someone who says that based on personal experiences.
SANTAY: I can agree, one personal advice I have for freshmen is to not be afraid to open up and talk with new people. I feel like a good quality of MCHS is that it’s a small school. Eventually you will know the people around you and it’s good to start off your first year here. Since you will grow together throughout the following three years of high school.
SANTOLLO: I think that’s great advice Ashley. The advice that I have is to not procrastinate on your college class homework. The class may feel very easy and light weight, but soon enough the work will pile up making it harder to complete on time and if not completed it has a potential of affecting your GPA .
SANTOLLO: Well, that’s all for today, Wizards.
SANTAY: I hope you guys enjoyed it.
SANTOLLO: And found their advice interesting or helpful.
SANTAY & SANTOLLO : Until next time.
