Getting to know people from upper grades is great because they are going to be the ones to help you. Do not be afraid to express who you are. As the author said “No one cares about you as much as you do. Be yourself.” You should try things that you like and that you want to do and not what your friends want to do.  Doing what interest you will lead you find yourself.
