Ninth grade can be both exciting and scary. Amid all the newness, remember that high school is not a four-year audition for college. Still, for all those planning to go to college, it will help to know what will be important to colleges three (short!) years from now.
The philosopher Aristotle observed that excellence is not an act but a habit. Your grades reflect what you do day after day and month after month. Take studies seriously. And remember that colleges like people who are successful, whether as students, athletes, musicians, or community volunteers. Colleges also like test scores but, by and large, that is not a big deal for another year or so.
