Sharon, Aged 22

The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need.

Frank, Aged 21

I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck！

Eddie, Aged 20

When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone, I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier after you know it.

David, Aged 19

I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.

What are we celebrating today? I asked the above question at the beginning of every one of my classes, whether I was teaching kids or adults. Sometimes I asked it a little differently, as in, “Who has good news?” or “Who has something good to say?” However I asked it, it always meant the same thing. It was a call for celebrating life, for focusing on what’s right and what’s good.

This was something that started by accident in the 1970 school year and continued until I stopped classroom teaching in 2001—thirty years of celebrating! Believe it or not, it started as the result of two things that are not so popular among kids: daily news and homework.

When I was teaching courses in history and government in high school, I would always ask students to read the latest news every night. After a few weeks, one student came to me and said, “Dr. Urban, did you notice that most of the news was bad news?” And he was right. Then we had a long class discussion about this, and finally we all agreed on one thing: We needed to receive more good news.

So the next day at the beginning of class I asked, “What are we celebrating today? Who has good news? Who has something good to say?” Later, I suggested that we should also include good things in our own lives.

They thought it was a great way to start class, and it developed into something that had a profound and lasting impact on both my students and me. Over the years of doing this, we heard just about every bit of good news possible. Some were small things, some were huge things. But the most important was that my students learned to look for the good in everyday life. They looked for it, they found it, and they celebrated it by sharing it with others. 4．What do we know about the author from the passage?
