Aim High
Think about your future possibilities with a college education. Do your best in school and on standardized tests. If you’re having difficulty, get help from a teacher, tutor, or mentor. Strive to get A’s and B’s in your classes.
Explore & Plan
Ask your counselor about challenging and interesting courses you can take in high school to prepare for college. Learn about, and plan to take, all the “A-G” college prep classes in high school. Discuss your thoughts and ideas about college with family and people at school. Ask your parent or guardian to help you research which high schools or special programs will most benefit your interests.
Study Smart
Focus extra time to your Math and English classes. Set aside time in a quiet place every day for school work. Do your homework, study for tests, and finish extra work if you have time.
Connect & Talk
Get involved in school or community activities that let you explore your interests and learn new things. Explore possible careers using an online “career interest survey” tool.Talk with teachers, school counselors, librarians, relatives, or family friends who have interesting jobs. Ask what they like about their job and what education they needed.
