A little about me:

Hi everyone! Congratulations on getting accepted into Woodbridge Academy, you should all be very proud of yourselves for coming this far! My name is Rishitasri Karra, a rising senior, and I am from Plainsboro, New Jersey. I am so very excited to meet and get to know all of you this coming year. I’m sure you might’ve heard that it’s hard to fit into a new school, especially in high school, but let me assure you it isn’t. One of the best things about our school is that everyone is the “new kid”. For me personally, I remember how intimidating it was to talk to all these people my age and yet here I am, 3 years later with a ton of close friends, and I’m positive that it’ll be the same story for you. After all, our school is a close knit community and always welcoming to everyone who comes by. Aside from making new friends, the workload at this school can also be daunting, which I’m sure you're aware of, but all it takes is a bit of time management and the right mindset. Trust me, when I say, a positive attitude and mindset can help you get so much more work done in smaller amounts of time. Additionally, don’t be afraid of the unknown, or if you don’t know something. It’s okay! This school is about discovering yourself and your passions, so by any means, explore as much as you can and whenever you can. Be curious! These next few years are meant to be challenging, to test yourself and push limits, but through it all you’ll grow into a more amazing person than you already are. Finally, if you ever want to talk about school, stress, problems in your day to day life, or interests like crocheting or F1, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m always here for you no matter what, so don’t be afraid! You got this, and I believe in you!
