The CHIEF November 2023

Senior Advice By: Jack Demopoulos

From what I’ve found out and learned from my time going to Pontiac High School is to always strive for success in any way you find it. High school is all about developing as a person in society, making new friends, and becoming your authentic self. I have become a far different person from freshman to senior year and have learned a variety of different things from so many amazing people. There are so many things I wish I did differently in both classes and high school as a whole. For freshmen that may be reading this, make sure to strive for success and do new things. Trust me, your failures won’t matter as long as you pick yourself up and try again. No matter how hard it may seem, you will get through these four years and become amazing at whatever your high school career leads you to.

I believe the seasons fall and winter are exceedingly better than spring and summer. In fact, the colder seasons have better holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! The holidays being all in the span of three months can positively affect a person’s wellbeing because they are some of the most giving and fun holidays. Another reason as to why the colder seasons are superior to the warmer ones is that the colder months also encourage our brains to actively focus and make quicker decisions. This could be more helpful for students to be in the right spot academically. The ultimate cause concerning cool seasons being better than warmer seasons is the sports being played during the chillier months. In the fall going into winter, we get sports like football, volleyball, basketball, and competitive cheerleading to watch while in the spring, you get sports consisting of baseball/softball, track, and water polo. In conclusion, I suppose the colder months are better than the warmer seasons because of the holidays, the better focus on academics, and the sport selection.
