High School Hints
School Talk
Interviewer:Hello and welcome to School Talk!Today I'm joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne.Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college in New York. Lisa,thank you for coming to  share your suggestions for high school with us.
Lisa: Hi,everybody.I'm very glad to be back.I feel as if high school was only yesterday!
Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?
Lisa:Orientation Day was really helpful.It's a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students.I even made some new friends!Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.
Interviewer:That's sound advice for sure.But how did you deal with new challenges,like starting a new course?
Lisa:I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week.I was frightened at the sight of the test paper.But then I figured I'd better just go all out and see what happens.If you fail,no problem — next time you can fail better!
Interviewer:So,hold your head up,then.But life is not always easy.You must have had some moments when you were disappointed.If so, how did you deal with them?
Lisa:As a member of the school volleyball team,I wasn't selected for the end-of-year competition.At first I was really sad,but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport.It wasn't just about winning.So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training.There's always a way to be part of something you love,isn't there?
Interviewer:Yes,I totally agree.Is there anything else in particular  that you'd like to share with us?
Lisa:Looking back on my high school life,the most important advice I'd  give is these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou.She said,"Be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud."So, give your friends a hand when they need it.And this will make you feel good,too.
Interviewer:Neat!Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa.And good luck with college!
Lisa:Thank you.
