Steps for Each Year of High School
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
- Taking the PSAT can only help you. It does not count in terms of college admissions
- 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?
- Make sure you explore all of you options while you are in high school
