This summer, some students will hit the books

How are you going to spend your summer? There is somewhat of a disagreement between some of the students. There are some students who are going to start college classes or classes that will prepare them for their desired future career choice as soon as they are done with school. Then there are other students who are working, some with two or more jobs at once, to save up for college or other miscellaneous expenses. So the question is: how do you want to get ready for college? Would you prefer working? extra classes? For college, you should research which option is better for you. Take a look at some of the requirements for the degree that you plan on going for and see if it is going to be beneficial for you to take some of these classes in high school, or if it is better to at least take a lower form of it in order to see if you like it or not. Taking these classes while in high school will ultimately bring down the total price of college for you because our school covers the dual enrollment fees. Look at several schools that you would like to attend and try to see what the price comparisons are. If you plan on getting a job, realize that this is going to interfere with your personal life, but that you will also have money to do more activities with your friends. Most places do have a schedule that will let you have fun with friends and still have a job to supply the money to let you have these fun times. If you have any questions regarding which option is better for you, Mr. Bennett or Ms. Kaplin are more than willing to guide you in the right direction.
