Biggest concern about college: Not be able to fit in and not being able to succeed
When I go to college I most look forward to: Meeting new people and being successful in all of my activities and classes.
The piece of advice that I would give to high school freshman about college is: Work the hardest that you can. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't succeed and do what you want to do, not what others tell you to do.
My heros are: My mom, because she just recently got her college degree and she took us to school with her so that we could seee what is needed to be successful and learn how to not let college opportunity pass you by. She taught me how to take advantage of all possibilities as soon as possible.
