Dont be afraid to open up, you wont have friends if you dont go out into the world and make them. I had a little issue with this, I expected people to be my friend and want to be around me, but no one did because they tried and tried and tried, but I wouldnt except there kindness and the oportunity they were just handing to me. But then I turned around and expected them to like me after I pushed them away. No. You cant just go around expecting people to like you when you havent even given them a chance to get to know you. YOU need to go out there and show them your not just gonna wait for them to come around and like you as a person, if you want something, go out and work for it. Thats just how life works.

Ask a lot of questions and get a lot of answers. Dont keep in your ability to show yourself and that you need help, no one is perfect, thats what i had a hard time of understanding because everyone around me had something they understood but I didnt. I started to ask and things that didnt make sense before make sense now. You jut have to realize that its okay to need help.

Pay attention and do your assignments

There are a lot of important things you learn in 5th grade. It can be hard paying attention in class, but really try. It’s very important you do this because if you miss one thing, nothing else makes sense. Besides that, make sure to be nice to each other because everybody else is also trying to fit in like you.

What I mean by this is as an example maybe you are being bullied or threatened. Or maybe someone is even trying to hurt you. Don’t fight back. You are most likely going to get hurt, and you’ll get into trouble. Don’t try to act cool, get help from an adult.

I suggest if you're going to bring any supplies make sure it's for everyone and not for yourself only because you'll get those supplies you bought for yourself, you'll most likely have to bring them back home.

Don't go picking fights with everyone. Don't do annoying things that will make people want to tell you off because honestly, that isn't any better. If you find yourself on the other end of this situation, if someone approaches you, don't try to engage with them. Just walk away and try not to get involved or else you might find yourself in trouble too.

My name is Manny
Well I think it would be highly recommended to listen to and avoid conflict with the teacher. Always listen and don't be stressed if you are behind you'll catch up. Try to pay attention in class. Have fun with school and don't think of it as a prison as i did, but think of it as a blank canvas to make art.
Also try to make friends with people, not just people you know. Be open to new things too. And please please please Try not to make the teacher angry. It's always horrible.

In our class, people always got distracted easily, and that was a big part of what held us back as a class. Try not to get distracted so easily because you don't want to hold back your class.

I used to think that i failed at math and writing, boy was i wrong. For the most part it was because i doodled a lot in class, got distracted easily and my grades weren't getting any better.  I also never asked for help, which was the main problem. I started excepting help and my work got a lot better.
I have one more recommendation. Ask questions,  sometimes teachers and students make mistakes sometimes. And don't get mad if someone corrects you, you can't always be perfect, it helps you learn from your mistakes. And don't get upset if you make mistakes, you are still growing and always learning everyday!

Be prepared for anything!!! You've seen what's happened with our class so be definitely prepared for anything. Don't be disappointed if it wasn't exactly what you hoped.
