The Freshmen Next Guide is divided into 4 sections:

• Dream  When you think about what job or career you might like, titles like teacher, lawyer, professional basketball player, doctor, or veterinarian might come to mind. But there are literally THOUSANDS of careers, and many (perhaps most) you haven’t yet explored. So how can you figure out what might be the best career for you if you haven’t even heard of it?

• Explore  After dreaming about the future, you should begin to set a course to attain these dreams. In this section, you will look closer at college types and career pathways in Tennessee, and you will be asked to design an outline of the places and high school courses that will set you on that course.

• Plan  The PLAN section will help you develop goals and explore the action steps to make college a reality.

• Assess  How do I know that I am on the right path to college and a great career? Using milestones and timelines, students can begin to see that key action steps along the way are important to making concrete progress. In this section, you will track your progress and measure your proximity to success through checklists and milestones. Knowing the milestones along the path can help you stay motivated because there is a lot more road to travel.
