Future After High School
Assuming I just completed my high school education and had to find funding for my education without scholarships or help from parents, I would likely panic. In this case where I have done research, it would be easier for me to be successful. The first thing I would do would be to research the school that I want to go. I would check the credibility of the school, the graduation rate of the school, and how much the education costs. I would also check on the living situation to find a place that accommodates me within my expected budget. I will then wait to receive my admission letters from the school that I have applied. Depending on the results I found during my research, if accepted into all schools, then I would pick the school with the highest graduation rate. I will make this decision because that will make it that much more likely for me to graduate on time, and mix with responsible people who also plan on graduating on time. During this process I will go to my counselor to find out all sorts of ways for me to acquire funding towards my higher education. I will check out every possibly outcome of getting funding, which would likely be filling out financial aid or better known as FAFSA. If the money I receive from there will not be enough for me to get through my education, I will then go to the go to banks to search for any possibility of getting a loan from them. During my decision making on the school to attend, I will go and look at the communities for the campuses and see if it allows my life style to co-exist. This would also affect my decision because college should have a pinch of fun involved in it. Since social life is top ten in reasons why I would want to go to college due to the usnews.com blog, I would make sure to check out the social life at all the institutions. Therefore I would also have to budget my social life into my spending. This would lead to me spending more money and likely having to look for a job. In my search for finding a job,

    Education has always been one of the most important things to me, and I am dedicated to learn as much as humanly possible. Throughout my high school career I have challenged myself by completing six advanced placement classes and taking other honors classes. I have taken these classes as a way to help guide myself for what is to come in the future in college. I was inducted into the National Honors Society during my junior year of high school, and I graduated with honors. Both of these successes are the two greatest accomplishments of my high school career. These two achievements prove how dedicated I was, and still am, to getting the best education I could. My quality of dedication will stick with me throughout my future endeavors.…

    Use statistics to narrow down your college choices, but not to make the final decision. The right college for you is a good match to you personally, not a prize that you win. Never select a school because a lot of your friends are going there, nor because it holds a number-one position on some published list. Only a visit to the campus can really tell you if it is right.…
