“Although high school is a lot of fun it’s also about self discovery. Stay true to who you are and do what makes you happy. You’ll do bad on a couple quizzes, stay up late procrastinating, make mistakes, but it’s not the end of the world. Make the most of your four years and live in the present…,” Irigoyen stated.
