make an annotation: Expect a lot of your school. Until you graduate, this is your community. It is only as good as you make it. If people run the school down, or the teachers, administrators, or students down, it still eventually comes back to you. There is no credit in being the "best of a bad lot," but there is true nobility in making everything in your environment better. Demand that your friends and fellow students achieve at their highest level and behave at their very best. Demand that your teachers give you the best education possible. Demand that your administrators deliver a school that is positive, safe, and productive. Most importantly, demand of yourself that you reach the end of this school year a better, smarter, more productive person than the one who began it. That is something you will never regret.
