https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh The information in this Padlet along with the tools in my college binder will help mark the path leading toward my college and career goals in my future. An example of one of my college goals is to graduate a college with a bachelor's degree by 2022, at the most. For my career goal, I would want to work in the same type of workforce as my father, but ultimately surpass him in my endeavors. en-us 2017-05-23 18:26:21 UTC 2024-10-03 18:32:55 UTC hello@padlet.com ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173502268 If I do end up looking at this Padlet sometime into the future, I will most likely be on my path to becoming an engineer, whether that be me in college or just planning. I want to go to a college that has an engineering program that is efficient for future engineers such as myself in a few years. ]]> 2017-05-23 22:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173502268 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173503366 The University High School website is a great place to check for scholarship announcements, or different types of announcements regarding things I need to do for college. For example, in my tenth grade year, the announcements to take the PSAT for practice are announcements I NEED to look out for.]]> 2017-05-23 22:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173503366 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173503720 Although most people don't pay attention to what their teachers try to help them with, Mrs. Hack should ALWAYS be an exception. She is one of the few teachers who care about students' futures, instead of only the test scores (Sorry Volusia County, but it's true). She regularly posts scholarship opportunities, and things to us future college students/present high school students in every task we need to complete. I will definitely keep up with her feed, even after I don't have R4CS (Research for College Success) anymore.]]> 2017-05-23 22:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173503720 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173504330 College Board gives you so much information for Financial Aid, planning your college years, and other prep you'll need. There is an organization for colleges you are looking into, and information for college requirements. It also has links to SAT practice, PSAT information, and other things. Long story short, this is a site I won't want to forget before I start college.]]> 2017-05-23 22:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173504330 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173504868 Getting student aid, no matter what amount, it will help greatly. College can be super expensive, and help is out there, with scholarships, and this. Definitely make sure you get on this before you even think about an application.]]> 2017-05-23 22:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173504868 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173505364 This site is definitely going to be a lifesaver for me when applying to colleges in the future. With this site, I can make one application to apply for many colleges at the same time, instead of making multiple applications, most likely with multiple fees. I will likely make one of these, depending on my colleges' presences in the Common App]]> 2017-05-23 22:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173505364 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173506129 This entire website gives information needed for Bright Futures. It gives requirements for it, differing between the different types of Bright Futures Scholarships. I will use this, even if I make a mistake and become ineligible. I will shoot for it, and even if I miss the mark, I could still land in a proficient area for other scholarships]]> 2017-05-23 22:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173506129 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173507479 This site could be used by any high school student who is looking into colleges, but is lost on what to do. It matches students to college counselors or background checked college students, and they mentor the student. This mentor guides the student through their selection AND their entire first year of college. This is such a useful tool, especially for someone like me. I have troubles with transitioning from one schedule to the next, but then again, who doesn't? If I had a personal online mentor, I might be able to keep myself a bit more on track through my first year. This is something I will most likely check out again for my first year of college.]]> 2017-05-23 23:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173507479 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173508409 CollegeXpress is a good place to go to search scholarships, schools, and specific opportunities for your future. It is intended for high school students searching for a plan of action. Most of the possible scholarships available to you are recorded on this site. This is a good tool that I intend to use by Junior year, in order to start working on scholarships that can help pay for my college. This site will definitely help me in the future.]]> 2017-05-23 23:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173508409 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173509572 Embry-Riddle is a four-year university located in Daytona Beach, Florida. This is one of my colleges of interest, mainly because their engineering program is one of the really good ones in the United States. This school is very high-rated, and is definitely one to look into for my future.]]> 2017-05-23 23:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173509572 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173510566 Flagler College, located in Saint Augustine, Florida, is a great college. The college is in a historical area, and most people who go there only have great things to say about the college. It may be a college I would look into.]]> 2017-05-23 23:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173510566 ctj_personal https://padlet.com/ctj_personal/tkx8qb61u4fh/wish/173528703 USF, located in Tampa, FL, is a good college for engineering. Although it is a tougher engineering college to get into compared to a couple others, it is a good pick nonetheless.
