College Prep

Yes, this was included in your freshman year to-do list, but it is so very important,
I just had to include it again. Talk to your counselor regularly. In order for them to
help you make the best decisions regarding college, you have to make yourself
available to them.


Don’t be afraid to visit often. You won’t get on their nerves. Just come prepared
with any questions you may have and they’ll appreciate your organization.

You should also make it a point to speak with your teachers on a regular basis.
Your instructors see your mental prowess first hand. They are the best to
evaluate your academic performance and to write letters of recommendation for
you. Letting your instructor in on your goals allows them to better help you when
the time comes to make big college decisions.

After all, teachers are there not just to teach, but to help their students as well. If
you have any concerns regarding your classroom performance and how that will
affect your college admissions, try to set up a meeting time with one of your
teachers. More often than not, they are glad to help you make sense of the
college prep process.
