Tools for Preparation

In talking to many students about their plans “when they grow up,” I find that elementary school students often want to be a dozen different things while high schoolers don’t even know where to begin.

It’s a cliche, but it is a big world out there and the world is your oyster (okay, that’s two cliches). Coming out of high school, it’s imposing to try to figure out which direction to choose and often, it’s tempting to go with the easiest path.

Here’s a tool that might be helpful. It’s called the JA Student Center… http://studentcenter.ja.org. You can find information on scholarships, colleges, careers, education financing, and other good things.

Check it out. You may find it useful.
