Road Map for March: Freshmen

Ninth grade is all about building a strong foundation for a successful high school experience. That means focusing first on academics, and with the first semester behind you, there may be signs about where some additional focus might be needed.

Equally important is exploration. If you haven’t yet joined a club, sport, arts program, or service activity, consider trying something new this semester. High school is the perfect time to experiment, discover what excites you, and begin developing interests that may eventually shape your college goals. And though summer may feel far away, this is the time to plan. A summer job, volunteering, academic enrichment, or another kind of meaningful new experience can be a great opportunity for growth.

For more guidance about these and other topics, I hope you’ll join me for College Admissions: A Road Map for 9th and 10th Grade Students on April 25, or contact me to learn more about one-on-one advising.
