The second semester is almost over and for senior this is a very critical and stressful time. Not only are there midterms and Regents exams, but colleges are approaching their deadlines. Many colleges have even ended their deadlines. Some colleges don't have a deadline, so some scholars think “well I’ll just got a community college” which is not bad but is it the best choice for you? Are you going to miss opportunities because you didn’t make a deadline?
There are a lot of questions you should ask yourself as a senior. The first question you should ask yourself is “Do I have all my college essays and applications done?” If you don't is it because you are having trouble getting to a computer or can't figure out the college website? You can get help from the College Prep Center. The second question is “Are you keeping up with your school assignments?” If not, is it because of a job? If so you should really change your work schedule to balance your schoolwork and work life, even if that means working only weekends. For a senior you should be studying 4 hours a night. Last but not least you should ask yourself, “Do I really want to go to college?” If you don't want to go to college there are other options like trade school, military, army, marines and multiple other options. Maybe you're not ready for college right after school and you want to focus on work. These options are perfectly fine but you have to think if it's the right choice for you and have a plan. By the end of the third marking period you should have a plan for yourself for after you graduate. D'Brina Pitts
