When planning for your college or career, there are a lot of questions most students (and parents) have:

• What do I want to be?
• What are my priorities? School? Job? Extra-curricular activities?
• Am I ready for college?
• How should I prepare for the next steps? What ARE my next steps?

The ebook below will help both students and parents find the answers to these questions and more! It is specifically designed with 11th grade students in mind, however, students at any level should find the information useful. As always, contact your school counselor with any additional questions or concerns you may have.
