What would you like to tell current Bryan Collegiate students?
Times can get tough at Bryan Collegiate, both academically and emotionally. Trying to stay on top of all of your school work and make good grades, all while trying to maintain a social life is hard PLUS dealing with the stress that it comes with is a lot to ask from a teenager. There are also times when you will question your major that you’re currently working towards. Or you might be completely lost and have no idea where you are headed. Here is my advice: Don’t give up! All of the hard work will pay off! Like Dory says, “Just keep swimming.” Secondly, ASK FOR HELP. Keep swimming, but don’t drown yourself trying to do it all by yourself. You have an excellent set of teachers at your fingertips who are ready to help you. Use them! Best of luck to all of the current Panthers! Make us proud!
