It is really important that as a student in high school, you begin planning your college career as early as possible. Some of the decisions you make as early as the 8th grade can have an effect on your college career. They affect how soon you’ll go to college, what type of college you’ll attend, and even whether you’ll go to college at all. Here are some ways to start planning as soon as possible:

1)___ Getting ready for college isn’t all work. Find something you really like doing, then dive into it. Maybe you’re drawn to sports, student council, music, art, etc. You’ll develop skills and show colleges your ability to make a commitment and stick with it.

When parents haven’t been to college themselves, you may think they can’t help you. That’s not true. They can talk to teachers and help you stay on the right path.

How can you find out about college admissions, work, and campus life? Ask someone who’s done it, such as college students who went to your high school. Get to know your counsellors. You may also talk to your teacher or do Web research.

Look for adults who can lend their enthusiasm and help you succeed at your goals. If you’re interested in a particular subject or activity, talk to a teacher or leader who knows about it. Find someone you trust to talk about your goals.

If you have a problem that’s getting in the way of schoolwork, don’t ignore it. Talk to your friends, family, or another adult — parent, coach, teacher — who may be able to offer advice.
