SOPHOMORE YEAR
- Meet with your guidance counselor to ensure you are on target with your core academic requirements
 
- Choose a cause and devote some of your free time to that cause
	
	  - The more you give to the community and others in need, the more the community will give back to you in return
 
	  
- Schedule yourself to take the PSAT in the spring

- Stay active in your school. Consider taking on a leadership role of some sort.
 
- Keep in mind that it is never a failure to try something and temporarily not succeed. The only time you fail in life is when you stop trying
 
- Keep a daily planner and use it for everything you do
	
	  - School, work and even home activities
 
	  - Time management is crucial in terms of preparing for college
 
	  - Develop good habits now and the rest will be easy. (Well maybe not easy, but easier)
 
	  
- Are you good with your hands?
	
	  - Ever think of becoming a plumber, electrician or carpenter?
