- Spend time with your family.
- Believe in yourself and be proud of who you are.
- Live life passionately and never give up on your dreams.
- Appreciate the things that perhaps you take for granted right now, e.g. the beauty of what Argentina has to offer such as the weather, the food, the outdoor lifestyle. When I left South Africa to live in London, it was only then that I realised how lucky I was in SA with the weather, the beach, the ocean, the lifestyle, all the sports etc.
- Do a great job at keeping in touch with your school friends.
- From the beginning, strike a good balance between your social life, studying and spending time with the people you care about.
- Learn how to cook, wash your own clothes and how to iron!
- Exercise! Keep playing sports.
