SECONDARY SCHOOL LIFE : PRISON OR PARADISE ? You decide at the end of my
speech .

School is the Platforms of Life. So Make It Count.

"Some
parts
of
life
but school isn't one of them."

you

can

do

without,

School is a place to explore, to experience, discover yourself as an individual.

It's believing, it's achieving and a time to learn. It's expectations, developing
responsibilities and it's social. Highs, lows, emotions, romance, friendships,
enemies, relationships, surviving, reputation, joy, sadness, broken hearts,
academic, status, popularities , sports, temptations, rules, regulations, and
intimidation are words that all come to mind.
It's life, hang-in, step it up, plan and prepare. I said twice , Make it count
because School is not forever.
If you think about it, though, we should embrace going back to school. When the
day comes that theres no school to go back to, well miss it more than we think.
There is no other time in our lives where well experience anything like what were
experiencing now. Never again will your biggest worries in life be about that science

homework you didnt finish, or why Amirul is ignoring you, or the horrible
possibility of getting a pimple every Monday . Never again will you be a part of a
community where an age difference of a year matters so much, and the moving up
a grade, from junior to senior, seems so significant.
I have some advice . Whether you stepped in , in this school this morning as an
incoming freshman , or as a five years student or as a returning to school after 2
weeks of absence , remember this starting today , i always remember the words in
a cartoon movie Chicken little , that is every day is new day !, everyone has those
first day butterflies. Who isnt worried about grades, teachers, drama, or even
getting to school on time? The best way to start a new school day right is to be
prepared. Here are some tips to help you to make today and everyday as your best
one yet .

Wake up early, set your goals , meet new people , get involved , get organized and
the most important is to have a positive attitude .
Dear friends ,
Our secondary school years are the defining times in our lives that shape who we
are, where we are going, and what we are going to do. Aside from this, they allow us
to build strong friendships with people. We get to see which people are going to be
there for the rest of our lives and those who will just disappear over the years.
A friend is someone who is there for you, through it all. Through the pressure, boys,
and drama, they are the one constant thing in your life that never fades away. I
have realized at age eighteen that friends are not something you should take
lightly, if we have found even just a couple of friends
we are blessed.
They are the people that we sing our lungs out in the car singing Set fire to the
rain, the people we cry to, and the most importantly the people who will always
have a shoulder to lean on. It is important to evaluate your relationships with your
friends. You can see if they are the people you can go to with anything or if they are
just another face in the crowd when you have a serious issue going on.
Secondary school is the defining time in our life to find ourselves and break loose
from our shells
Lastly ,
Nowhere else but in school is there such a community. For despite the separation
between grades, despite the clear distinction that comes with being juniors, and
seniors, high schools have such a sense of school unity. While to us the grades
were in make a difference, in the big picture every student at your school belongs
to the same institution, is unified under the same name, is roused up by the same
mascot at football games and collaborates to beat other schools in sports and
academics. Secondary school is a wonderfully unique experience that many dont

appreciate until its too late. So instead of dreading the return to school in holidays
at the end of the year, get excited about it. Like all of our parents and teachers like
to tell us, you only go to high school once.
In conclusion ,
Sure, theres been sadness, mistakes, and let downs, but you cant forget the good
times, and you cant ignore the photographs you took. Secondary school is an
experience. I believe we should all make the most of it.
