Planning for College

• Build a flexible schedule allowing for study time, extracurricular                 activities, and your other interests. Use a daytimer, calendar or                   electronic organizer to help you get organized.
• Get involved only in extracurricular activities that you have a genuine interest in and those to which you are willing to make the necessary time commitment.
• Make a four-year schedule of classes that increases your eligibility to attend the college of your choice.
• Start developing a resume by keeping a portfolio of your accomplishments, awards, honors, and community leadership.
• Take your parents with you to talk to your counselor about your interests, post-secondary possibilities, and career information.
• Find out about summer jobs and how to gain the skills necessary to obtain one. Look into volunteer opportunities that will expand your experience and skills.
