“Don’t take things so seriously. When I was a freshman, I was very nervous about making a good impression. I think I made the mistake that a lot of people do: I cared way too much about what other people think. Now that I’ve gotten a few years under my belt, I’ve realized that it’s high school. You’re supposed to have fun in high school! There’s no point in allowing others to control your happiness. Don’t follow others if it’s not going to lead you anywhere.” — Jack Morrissey, class of 2025
