Life
after High School
I would like you to spend this class period by considering your life after high school. Whether you plan on attending college, traveling, or working, or something different, it is helpful to reflect on who you are as a person and what you want to achieve in your lifetime.
Attached is a packet on writing a college admissions essay, and while you all may not be considering college, I would like everyone to complete the activities in the packet; I feel they will be beneficial in helping you to determine your goals. Please complete Step One: Brainstorming which you will find on the first page of the packet. I anticipate these thought-provoking questions will take up the majority of this class period. Should you have additional time, you should continue reading about the college essay and begin a list of possible essay topics.
Please hand in your brainstorming list. I will hold on to it for you; after we finish our summer reading work we will start on the college essay.
