Q: Okay, so, im 15, and im going into my first year at high school. Its summer and there is this soar program (summer school basically) the introduces me into algebra. The thing is, I am like majorly terrified! what will high school be like once the year starts? will the people be nice? the school is like a maze, im gonna get lost for sure, I am so scatter brained! What should do? Does any one have advice for starting the school year or surviving the treacherous mayhem of algebra and puzzling world I am now cursed with?
I know how you feel! The night before my first day of High School I didn't sleep AT ALL! I was so nervous, eventhough I had taken a tour of the school, and then went to visit the school after I had a copy of my schedule to find where all my classes were!

All I can say is try to relax and remember that everyone has a first day of High School, and everyone is nervous! Taking a map of the school with you (they should have these in the office) until you are acclimated with where your classes are, is always a good idea. If you still can't find your way, I'm sure teachers and other students will be happy to help you.

As for algebra, if you are feeling confused by the work itself, I'm sure your teacher would be happy to recommend a tutor, or other means of extra help. Not to sound like a major geek, but algebra can be kind of fun! It's like solving a puzzle!

I'm sure you'll do just fine!

thanx for the help, math is very terrifying to me, lolz
mucho luv
