Daughter's Possible Problems
Mother's Advice
Trying to make everything perfect for the first day at school.
You may be putting yourself under pressure to make sure that everything is perfect for that first day, but I want you to know that there’s no such thing as perfect. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. There is nothing perfect. There is only good enough, but what is most important is believing you’re good enough - just as you are.
Believe you're good enough.

Mother's Advice
Also, remember that you’re not in this boat alone. You’re not the only one facing a new school, new classmates, new teachers, new expectations and new pressures. At some point, everyone else is - or was - where you are right now. I hope you find comfort in that.
paragraph 3
Facing a new school, new teachers and new pressure.
Remember that you’re not in this boat alone.
Expectations are strong hopes or beliefs that you will get something you want.
There might be some people who will not always be so friendly to you.You will find such people not only in senior high school,but throughout your adult life.When you are reflecting on a nasty comment someone made on you or an unfriendly glance that came your way,I hope you'll remember that these behaviours always say more about the giver than the receiver and that there will never be a shortage of kind people and genuine smiles in your life.Remember that,too, when you are tempted to be nasty to someone else.

Tell yourself “you can and you are”.
As you go forward into this new chapter in your life,I hope you'll realise early that we are most often held back by the limitations we put on ourselves--by the stories we tell ourselves about who and what we are.Whenever you're fempted to say,"can't"or'm not"about something.you really want to achieve,I hope you'll change that story-because you can and you are.
