Posting # 5 - What Can I Do to Get What I Want?

"A goal without a plan is a dream."
-?

This might be the most important marking period of your academic career. Many of you will be applying to colleges or trade schools this summer, and your performance in the second semester of your junior year will determine whether you are admitted to the school of your choice.

For today's posting, you are to choose 5 things that you plan to do this marking period to improve your chances of success after high school. If you have no plans for college or trade school, think about what you can do this semester to prepare for the workforce, the military, or whatever else you might want to do after high school. You do not have to know for sure what you want to do in order to complete this assignment.

Guidelines:
1. Write in letter form, to your mentor.

2. One paragraph for each "thing."

3. Ask your mentor at least three questions (What did they do their junior year,
What advice do they have to accomplish your goals, etc)

4. Check the comment tab on your blog and respond to any comments they've posted to
you--put this in the beginning of the posting.


This posting is due at the end of the hour today (3/28)
