about this, and include your parents- they can be a critical part in your
decision and the entire process.
Have you taken a college day and previewed the school you are thinking about?
Have you kept up on scholarship opportunities? This is your future, not mine or
your parent’s. You need to be responsible for obtaining applications, completing
them, and getting them in by the deadline. I will help you as much as possible,
but you need to keep me informed and you need to make an effort to see me for
details and questions concerning your plans!!
Do not hesitate, procrastinate, put-off, slide-behind, ignore, or forget about
the process of completing applications for admissions, scholarships, housing
paperwork, the FAFSA app. (very, very important), and any other miscellaneous
paper work required by the school you wish to attend.
