My advice to New Freshmen Some of the advice I am going to give I should of taking it myself. In high school they usually passed you on your good looks, but this is not true in college. They pass you on what you have learn. In my high school days I didn't work to hard in English and now I am paying for it. If I would of appyeid myself durning those four years in high school I wouldn't be taking English A now, and you wouldn't be wasting your time on me. I though I would get out of English A with no worried at all, but to my surprise I found out yesterday that I would be taking it again. So now come the advice, first do everything the teacher tell you to do. Get your homework in on time. When there is a test coming up study for it, don't go home and watch television. Take you time on writing a theme, put some thought into it. Don't make it look like this one, full of errors, wrong verbs tense, misspelled words and sentence fragments. Now you can see how dumb I am in English by this theme I am writing. As you sit there reading this master piece of writing, you say it can't happen to me. But you're wrong it can happen to little old you and if you aren't careful it will. Has I was saying please don't let it happen to you, because I know you can't put up with Mr. Herman for another semester. God Please Havy Mercy on his students.
