It also means having a plan and maybe even a backup plan for college and maybe even after, what major(s), minor(s) and occupation(s) you want to pursue. ]]> 2021-07-01 14:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ap61/cbx9zgenxl2uhjh6/wish/1633470786 Maggie Woodring https://padlet.com/ap61/cbx9zgenxl2uhjh6/wish/1633470832 TO me, college readiness means:
-to know WHAT i want to do
-WHERE i want to go
-HOW i can be most successful in being in charge of my own time and space
-also HOW i can budget money successfully so that i can start putting money aside for student debt while still being able to live happily
