Funny thing is, my kids are attending the same Catholic high school that I attended here in Fort Lauderdale…the uniforms are even the same (except that the girls can now wear slacks as well as the same pleated plaid skirt). Right now my oldest is a Senior, #2 is a Freshman, and #3 is still in 7th grade.

I would tell my 16 year old self:

1. Latin will definitely come in handy for those college science courses…pay attention!
2. Listen to your Mom…Mas sabe el diablo por diablo que por viejo (as Mami used to say).
3. Choose your friends wisely…more importantly, you probably haven’t even met your “BFF” yet!
