         <description><![CDATA[<div>I would advice you to always pay attention in class even if people think your a nerd. IN order to be successful in 8th grade you must always do your work and pay attention in class and answer questions. Some teacher might be annoying and getting on your nerves&nbsp; but you just have to deal with it.&nbsp; You will learn alot of things this year. in ELA, we learned about this time period that is called the holocaust. You have to pay attention while learning because it will help you better to understand what the class or teacher is doing instead of sitting there being confused you will have an idea on what to do. One thing you will enjoy is the last day of school. You will go on a cruise around Manhattan. The high school admission process is alot of work and alot of&nbsp; thinking to do. You might not even get accepted to your first choice you might get accepted to your second or third you never know but choose your top three and just keep up the good work. WELCOME TO THE 8TH GRADE BIG STEP UP FROM HERE.<br><br>sincerely ,&nbsp;<br>FRESHMAN IN HIGHSCHOOL</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The high school admissions process is a hard process because you have to go visit the school and go inside a class for a whole period to see how the kids learn. Its kinda scary because you never know what school your gonna get into and you might not get into your first choice just because. You also need to have good grades to get into the school of your choice. In order to be successful in 8th grade you must do your hw and classwork or YOU will fail and you must study to pass your test. In ElA and social studies are related in 8th grade a lot because we learn about the same thing but do different projects on that topic. The most interesting topic this year was learning about the holocaust and writing your own story about it.<br>&nbsp;From,<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Old 8th grader</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey I advise you not to get on Ms.Dyers nerves. I know she just assumes everything but just bear with her she is gets nice over time. If you ever have a problem just to talk to either Ms.Threat or Ms. Ryerson. Also im not not gonna say in order to be successful do your homework because that is not the only way. Do not let anyone hold you back, be yourself make your own path. BYE!!. Sincerely Freshman IN Highschool</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I advise you to do your homework every single night. It is very important because you can get caught behind.One of the most interesting things you will do this year is applying for high school. It´s very hard but you can get support from a lot of people. The High school admissions process is very hard but you will appreciate it later in the school year. MBA picked me to go to the high school and I went to the open house and I knew that this high school was right for me. CAS took me there and it fit my requirements for high school. My requirements for high school were no uniform, get out early, and go outside for lunch.<br><br>Best Of Luck<br><br><br>Sincerely,<br>Freshman in High School<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>8th grade is a very important year to show your teachers and former high school teachers that you can do your work properly and make sure you keep your grades up and don't slack off, it is important to get your work done on time and the high school process is so complicated but with a little help from teachers and parents and extra support from yourself you can find the right high school to join. simple as this if you want to pass your classes hand in all your homework. don't get into any type of trouble or any fight that really messes up your chances of getting into an great high school and going on any end of the year trips.MAKE SURE YOU COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY PREPARED AND ON TIME???? &nbsp;<br>Sincerely, &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>old 8th grades</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The high school admissions process is difficult. It is difficult because you have to pick 8-12 high schools to apply to and go to their open houses. The admissions process is also very unfair. It is unfair because once you get accepted by a school you have to go to that school and all the other school that you applied to will never see your application. If you don´t want to get into a bad school pick only schools you want to get into. Pick only good schools because you can get accepted into any one of them.<br>good luck,<br>Freshman in High school</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I would advise you to do all of your work and do not get into trouble with any of your teachers or any fight if you can. I would tell you to focus on your work because that would help you get into a good high school. You need to come&nbsp; to school everyday if you can because you need to have a good grade in total to pass the 8th grade. It is important that you pay attention when learning math, ela , and science because the state test for the 8th grader is hard. The high school admission process is hard because you have to pick 12 good high schools and you to be looking forward to go into that high school. &nbsp; Good luck,&nbsp;<br>Freshman in High school.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I would advise you to do good in school and have good grades. It is important that you follow every rule that is in the school. Also, listen to the teachers. In order to be successful in the 8th grade you must be prepared for every class and have a good spirit at least try to have one. The information you learn in your courses this year will be about the world and math. It is important that you pay attention when learning because you will know more things. The most interesting is the ice skating trip. The high school admissions process was hard because I had to choose between Cardinal Hayes or Mount Saint Micheals. So I went to both schools to visit and Cardinals Hayes was better because it had more details and a good football team. Anyways the process is tough and good luck.<br><br>Sincerely, Freshman in HighSchool</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I hope you well in 7th grade because high schools look into your grades. when your in 8th just make sure you do your homework and study. When you apply for a high school make sure you go through you book carefully and choose a school that you like. In science we have a lot of&nbsp; projects so don't be absent. It will kinda be hard to make up the work. Also you probably won't have art anymore it will be replaced by language class and typing. Typing is boring<br>sincerely&nbsp;<br>freshmen</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the most interesting things you will do this year is the heredity unit because bring pictures when we were babies. Also you have to keep your grades up all quarter because high schools are always looking at your grades and you also want to get into your first high school you chose. When high school admissions start it is very hard because all the time. Personally everything worked out with me because I got into my first choice, by having a good grades and a good attitude.&nbsp;<br>Sincerely.<br>Freshman In High School</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is very crucial that you did well in 7th so you can better options for high schools. Pay very close attention to class because sometimes there would be hard things that would be thrown at you and the skills you need to smack it away is taught to you by the teachers. When you start to apply for high schools make sure you know the high school and that you like it. When the high school admission process start you will be given a book a big one with hundreds of high schools and the process to apply for a high school is exactly the same as for middle school. When you start to apply for high schools make sure you picked the ones you liked and when I applied i didn't get into my first high school&nbsp; but&nbsp; third but&nbsp; I liked it.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;From,<br>                     A Freshman in HS<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
