�	Grades matter! Your grades in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade will  
        affect your overall GPA, which is important for college acceptance.

        next year! 

�	Start to think about what you enjoy in your coursework and how that 
        could apply to your future.

�	Start a portfolio of your activities: honors courses, awards, clubs, 
        volunteering, etc.

�	Make a positive social network with students & teachers.
