Considering what would happen after high school was a concept all
students had to put numerous hours into doing. The reality of having the
future come so soon hit some seniors with force.
"I started looking into colleges when I was a junior, and even then wasn't
early enough. I have so much to do still: ACTs, SA Ts, scholarship forms,
and applications. I feel like I don't even have half of it done. Given the
chance to do everything over again, I would have done things differently by
starting earlier," senior Samantha Peterson said.
Another issue that plagued students was choosing which college to attend.
Many found out that getting the applications and scholarships completed on
time was not an easy process. Planning ahead, as students learned, was a
must. In hopes of preparing themselves for whichever path they chose,
students took difficult classes that interested them.
"I've always taken honors classes. They are definitely worth the time,
especially knowing that they will pay off in the end by helping me prepare
for harder college work," sophomore Sarah Sarset said.
Although choosing the right college and planning ahead wasn't always the
easiest thing to accomplish, creating achievable goals to help carve a path for
students' future was important to them. What lay ahead was an unknown
.titrJ4 territory, and most students were excited about that and were ready to move
on to the next chapter in their life.
