Brush your hair every day, so that it does not knot. If you want to look pretty, keep it out of your face. Part it on the left or on the right, only boys have a middle part. Brush your fangs, so that they do not fall out. When you walk, keep your shoulders back; try not to shrug. Be careful of what you say and how you act, people you do not know may know of you. Always look someone in the eyes as you are being introduced. Be sure to always greet someone familiar, no matter how well you know the person. Don’t talk too loud on the boathouse; your words carry in the wind. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all. Be a role model for your brother and sister, they look up to you. Never open the door to a stranger, even if he knows your name. Trust your instincts. Understand, people will lie, and people will cheat. Forgiveness is tough, but it is worth it in the long run. When you are older, never settle for anything other than the best. Always pray for the people you love. Pray for the people you hate. Pray for the bullies, one day they will change. Your faith is what you make it; the ball is in your court. This is how you hold a fork. This is how you hold a knife. Do not move the plate as you cut your meal. If you dine at a boyfriend’s house, you must know these rules. Remember, the blade to the knife never points out. Always offer to help. You know I am always helpful, even on the busiest days. Dry the dishes before returning them to where they belong. Sweep first, then mop. Practice makes perfect, never quit. Do not forget, never settle.
dont cheat on homework, but if you do, dont get caught. do everything with your heart. learn to be friends with everyone. love your neighbor as yourself. if you go to jail, don't expect someone to come to your rescue. if your sick dont go to school but do your work. learn to be responsible, and depend on your self. play all the sports you can but dont wear your self out. dont lie, but know when and when not to tell the truth before you hurt someones feelings. dont hide your emotions. love god with all your heart.
Walk down the road, look where you are going, and be sure to not to trip; if you trip just walk it off or do a spin to make it seem like you are listening to a tune in your head; keep your headphones in; this is the cool way, this is not; don't bob your head like this, just move it subtle that only the people who can hear your music can follow the beat; walk like you have a purpose; speak with conviction, or do not speak at all; be aware of your surroundings; do not listen negativity; follow your own path, but keep it classy. F.G.
You should study hard; memorize your mom's credit card number so you can shop online; buy any shoes that you love because you'll wear them at some point; learn to bake because it is a great stress reliever; always smile; look for the best in situations; laugh often because it will make you a happier person; always be forgiving; remember the good things but leave the bad in the past; love those close to you; take chances and live in the moment; enjoy life and be thankful for what you have.
Work hard in school it will all pay off in the end and dont slack off your teachers will not like it; When you play sports try your hardest and work at that sport as hard as you can giving your self the best chances of being the best; dont be rude to girls, even though it may seem like they dont care, they really do; eat healthy because nutrition is 70% of your body; dont do drugs because your body will be blackened; make sure you pay attention to the finer things in life; enjoy every moment of life because it flies by.
Put yourself out there; Never be afraid; Try hard at everything; Never give up; Be the better person; Help those that are less fortunate; Try new things; Form your own opinions; Keep your friends close; Always believe
My advise to you is as follows: Never underestimate yourself; love your family before anyone else; don’t settle for anything less than what you really want; don’t drive recklessly on any kind of machinery; treat your pets with the respect they deserve; always walk across the street hand in hand with someone; walk with your head held high; never slouch; eat pizza with ranch dressing; tell everyone you love that you love them every chance you get; eat your vegetables; take your vitamins; laugh everyday; cherish your friends; travel the world and embrace other cultures.

Wake up early so you will not be late. Make up your bed, do not forget. Put on clean clothes- the ones you layed out last night. Brush your teeth well so they dont turn yellow.

Do all your laundry, but dont forget to seperate the whites and colors. Eat all your breakest because you have a long day ahead of you.
