My Eighth-Grade Self

High school students were asked the question: What advice would you give your eighth-grade self?

  • Moderation is your god. – Justin Fok, alumni
  • BE YOURSELF… too many people are pretending to be who they’re not, changing for all the wrong reasons, to be accepted by all the wrong people. – Jenny Ho, grade 12
  • Enjoy your time in high school while you can. Try to be productive but at the same time, be at a steady pace so that you can enjoy and appreciate everything around you. Try as many things are you can while you’re still in school… – Tammy Lee, Grade 11
  • Worry less about finding that one ‘special’ person and focus on studies. – Matthew Le, grade 11
  • Get a catchphrase; something funny that won’t wear off until late grade 10. – Mitchell Agostinho, alumni
  • You think you have something to be angsty about? Wait another few years. – Jessica Poon, grade 12
