I Hope you get into a school that fits your personality, location, Major, and price. I do not hope you specifically get into Harvard unless you truly want to. I have written a little bit to help you with your application.

If you truly want to drive to Cambridge, Massachusetts and walk into Harvard University smiling You will read this and take it to heart. In 2015 when you graduate High school and people ask where you are going to go and you say Harvard, you will be glad you did.


Okay just so u know, because you are in eight grade. basically nothing u have done till now matters in the slightest. I'm going to be a little intense but it meant to motivate you. The choices you make for then next 3 and a half years will put you in Harvard or University of who the hell cares in nowheres ville Wyoming. Soo Do the absolute best you can. If you are on Yahoo, facebook, youtube, or anything like that, you are wasting time that could be spent studying. If you are walking to a class, to the cafeteria, going to the bathroom, or walking from your desk at home to the dinner table and you don't have a book in your hand your wasting valuable time. Don't even think about it, run and grab a textbook and review. When you come home and say you don't have homework, its bullshit form hear on out. You can always be doing work. No matter if your teacher assigned it or not. If you go to school one day and your friend asks you if you saw what happened on real world, jersey shore, dancing with the stars, American idol, family guy, or Freaking Oprah and you can answer it, you took the limited time that you have until you mail out your application, stuffed it in toilet paper and flushed it down the toilet. If you are doing something and you ask yourself "why am i doing this?" and you can't answer with a to get me into Harvard, to stay healthy, not to piss off my parents (who will probably pay) or so i don't die then you need to really figure out your priorities. When you get anything lower than a 100 on a test, go to the teacher, ask what you did wrong, what you can do differently the next time, and make sure you know how to do it by the next test or final.
