College Countdown

    Blood, Sweat & Tears - 
work ethic

Believe it or not, your parents’ and teachers’ constant reminders are good for you. You won’t let them know it, but you may secretly rely on it to keep you on track. Well here’s the news – no one at college will serve as your personal beeper. And definitely in the work world, there won't be anyone tapping you on the shoulder or in your face to keep you on track. Just like with study skills, there will be no one breathing down your neck or looking over your shoulder pushing you to do well.

Remember, high school and college should not just be about your slaving over books. Equally important are the experiences and the activities that you participate in outside the classroom. In high school, these activities may include sports, school plays, or volunteer work. In college your options mushroom: theater productions, author readings, guest lectures, school newspaper, and more – much more. College outside the classroom should take your world and expand it beyond your wildest dreams.
