5 Tips for your Freshman Year
Make a plan of what you want the next 4 years to be like. Think ahead and be positive!
Get involved!! Be a part of your community by joining a club, sport or volunteering at local event. Don't just help at your school - be recognized as a superstar volunteer in your community. Colleges, future employers, recruiters, etc, all love to see "real involvement".
Take pride in your work!! Did you know that colleges only see your final grade for the semester in the classes that you take. (They do not see your progress reports.). Freshman and Sophomore grades are extremely important. These are the grades sent to your potential college. The time starts now - your Freshman year - grades will 100% matter!
Be mindful of the choices that you make. You do not want anything negative to be connected to your high school transcripts when submitting to future colleges. Your digital "footprint" matters too. Believe it or not, colleges, places of employment, the military, etc., all can follow you on social media and make decisions off of what they see.
Begin to research colleges or places you would like to be employed with. Look at what is required of you in order to be accepted at each college or to work there. Notall colleges or jobs you areinterested in will have the exact program you may want to pursue. Meet with your counselor to take about your options and opportunities.
