Study hard and do well in school. KEEP YOUR GPA HIGH!!! Remember, your grades count toward college and will show up on your permanent record.
Try taking the most challenging courses you can.
Take the PSAT test. Your scores on this will not count when you apply for college, and it is good practice for later.
Stay involved in extracurricular activities, such as sports, clubs, and community services.
Continue volunteering in your community.
Continue to explore careers and job opportunities in those careers.
Continue to improve and learn keyboarding and computer skills.
Keep reading as much as you can.
Continue to attend events on college campuses: plays, concerts, sporting events, etc.
“Job shadow” someone who does what you think you’d love to do. That means to follow them around for a day.
Use your summer to attend enrichment programs, such as summer camps, summer courses, or college activities for high school students. Ask your counselor for opportunities that are available to you.
