Your+future

To survive high school successfully you will need a plan for the future. This does not mean that you need to have your whole life mapped out by your freshman year of high school. It does mean that you need to explore your options and think about what you might want to do after graduation. If you plan to attend a college or university, find out what the entrance requirements are so you can work toward completing those requirements while in high school. Consider taking as many Advanced Placement classes as you can to obtain college credit before even being admitted. Always keep your options open, you're young and the world is in your hands. You might think you have your mind made up about what you want to do, only to realize that you have changed your mind later in life. Just because you do not want to go to college now does not mean that you will not want to by your senior year. Take high school seriously so that there will not be just one path for you to take. Remember that it is impossible to get somewhere if you do not know where you are going!
