Steps In High School

To get into the college of my choice, I should take these steps in high school:

Reflections

• I learned that college is really expensive and that to get into such an expensive college, I need to get a scholarship, loan, or other kind of financial aid.

• I also found out how many different scholarships there are out there.

• I learn that college is so much more competitive, so I need to learn not to procrastinate and to study more.

• Now, I know that I need to really prepare for college, by taking the right steps in high school.
