I feel so proud of him and how hard he has worked! Especially during the pandemic, I saw how hard he struggled to adapt to doing school online. Seeing him having accomplished this is truly to motivating for me as I'll be starting high school soon. What was high school like for you guys?

Congratulations to your brother! I’m class of 2022 so I graduated hs last year and also had my hs experience turned upside down because of Covid. I wish you all the best during your high school experience. My advice, get really involved in one or two clubs and try to find friends that you know you can rely on. You’re at the age where there’s a lot of weird social pressure so find friends that will not judge you for who you are but will also tell you if they think you’re being stupid. And I know it’s a long way off, but start preparing to live on your own in college. Know how to cook healthy meals, balance a budget, do laundry, talk to people, etc. This is your time to figure stuff out while you still have your parents watching you closely to make sure that you’re okay. My favorite part of high school was being on the robotics team. Think, competitive sports but it’s robots competing against each other. I made some amazing friends there, many of which I still talk to over a year after we graduated. Best of luck to you.
