Year 13
This page is the area where all writing, research, ideas, and pondering dealing with college/tech school and beyond will be shared. Whether you plan on attending college, a 2 yr program, or plan to pursue other avenues this page will help you plan your way.
What does your year 13 look like? How does that year impact or change your future? All September we will be focusing on answering these questions. Of course, we will look at how to write a college entrance essay. In fact, we will try our hand at several topics. If you already know the prompts for your chosen universities, than this exercise will be all the better. However, we will look beyond college to "real life." In order to get where YOU want to be, you have to have a plan. So we will research college course requirements, internships, potential jobs, cost of living in several areas of Washington, and recertification. It is going to be a fun semester!
