Thoughts To Consider Throughout Sophomore Year:
Am I enrolled in courses that will lead to my post-secondary goal?
Am I involved in at least one extracurricular activity?
What are some possible career options that match my interests, personality, values, and strengths?
What is at least one academic struggle I would like to improve? How can I do that?
