1. What did I learn?
I learned the how to prepare for college not to long ago and I can say that it is hard, no one can teach you or tell you exactly how hard it will be and different college will be. You have to experience all of this on your own, I luckliy had an older sister who gave me a few tips going into college but the key to survival is make friends in class to have a study group.

2. What else do I want to learn?

I would want to know if many school teachers or counselors are speaking to the seniors and getting them ready for college. The students do need to know it is going to be really different once they are on their own in college. I would also want to learn how to prepare a student for colllege since I am hoping to be a teacher some day.

3. Reflection
After reading this article I did think back to my senior year and remember some of this being talked about in assemblies we would have in school. Getting a job was a main factor they influenced all of us seniors to get because they did give us a heads up in how expensive college was going to be and how not all of our parents could afford paying off of it on their own. I enjoyed reading this article because it is all true what it talks about grades are the first and foremost issue in.
