In grade 12, you are the leaders and role models of your high school. With this responsibility come many privileges that younger grades would not be able to have.
Sometimes, these new privileges and these new freedoms in school can become overwhelming and can divert focus from your studies to something less important. These privileges given are only given because with age, you gain maturity. It is important to understand that these privileges are there to help you strive and prosper in your last year of high school. It is preparing you for the freedom of the real world that you are about to enter into it.
Freedom is fantastic but remember that freedom comes with responsibilities. If you you are smart as I think you are, you are going to notice that little by little your parents are trusting more in you and there is going to be a time in which you are going to take important decisions, be sure to take always the right way. Stay away from bad friends. Remember what they say about rotten apples. Carpe diem which means seize the day, take advantage of every minute in your life. You will see that life is very short and there is plenty of interesting things to do.
