8th Graders' Advice To Younger Students

Mollie Boyt

Hey DMS, I asked a few 8th graders for advice they have for our younger students.

First, I have Damien Ashlin. He told me his advice is, “Always listen to your teachers! Especially Mrs. Jinkerson!”

Next, I have Ariana McClish. She said her advice is, “Treat others with kindness, because you never know what they're going through”.

Third, I have Adalyn Davis. She told me her advice is, “Walk faster in the hallways”.

Last but not least, I have Madelyn Martin. She said her advice is, “Your mistakes don’t define you”.

Well, those are some great answers, DMS! Now, here’s my personal advice for our younger students: always enjoy the small things while you can.
