Class 3 is mostly focusing on making your activities list/resume, but we will also begin talking about paying for college.
Your activities list should include all of your "extra-curricular" activities: jobs, volunteer work, sports, travel, etc. It should also have approximate dates for when you participated in each activity.
HOMEWORK: Turn in to me (don't need post on the blog) your typed out activities list at the next class meeting.
Also, I encourage each of you to open a dialog with your families about options you may have for financing your education. Are you going to need to pay for college all by yourself? Do you have a college fund? Is your family planning to help out in some way, but maybe not fund the entire endeavor? How do you feel about going into debt in exchange for getting a college education? This is a topic for you and your family and does not need to be reported back to the class, but I strongly encourage you to begin thinking about it...
We will began a basic scholarship search today as well.
Reminder:
You can use this email addy for future scholarship/college related searches so that you don't get a bunch of spam in your personal inbox.
