6. Harper Lee

In high school, we tend to form cliques. Even if they aren't as obvious as the ones in movies like Mean Girls, they still exist. But during your senior year, you should acknowledge the importance of understanding people you assumed you wouldn’t get along with. Everyone–even the boneheaded jock, the antisocial nerd, the vapid airhead—has something to contribute to this world and to your growth as a person. Forget about social barriers and take a walk in someone else’s shoes. You'll definitely learn something new about them, and maybe even something new about yourself!

Ultimately, this year just have fun, be yourself, and don't stop reaching for the stars! This year marks the pinnacle of your high school education; how do you intend to spend it? Which of these quotes really hit home for you?
