As my time in high school begins to dwindle down and graduation day rapidly approaches, I look forward to embarking onto college and a new series of endeavours. However, I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my journey from freshman to senior year at John F. Kennedy Memorial High School. I have learned countless morals, lessons, and an incredible education in my unforgettable high school experience. My teachers, administrators, coaches, as well as fellow classmates and teammates have made my time in high school enjoyable and have taught me so much. John F. Kennedy Memorial High School has both a rich history and a bright future.

That is merely one example of the respect throughout the school, every day I see a respectful and accepting culture in school. This culture has made JFK a haven for students and will continue to do so for years to come.
At JFK we make it our best effort to excel in “the three A’s,” the arts, the academics, and the athletics. It is so incredibly easy to become involved, the only reason one is not involved in something is because they choose not to be. There are an abundant amount of extracurriculars you can participate in, whether it be sports, a club, the band, or the school play there is many opportunities to become involved.
My time in high school has flew by right before my very eyes and my advice for incoming freshman is very simple. First, I would tell them to focus in the classroom. There is nothing more important in school then getting good grades and that is incredibly difficult if you do not focus and dedicate yourself to your studies. Next, I would tell them to get involved. An easy way to meet new people, make friends, and have fun is to join a club or team. Finally, I would tell them to relax and have fun. You are only in high school once so enjoy it, there is nothing to be nervous about so relax and enjoy yourself. High school will go by before you know it so don’t take it for
