3 Hungers

1. What is my purpose?

2. What is true?

3. What difference do I make?

Only 1 in 5 people ages 12-22 have a clear vision of where they want to go in life and why.

Class of 2017Where is God calling you?

• What excites you? What interests you?

• What experiences have you had that felt fulfilling?

• Does someone you know have a job or career that intrigues you?

• What do you like to do in your spare time?

• Can you envision a job related to your hobbies or interests?

• Do you prefer working with people, things, tools, or ideas best?

High School Counts!!

• Courses help you explore, identify and cultivate your interests and abilities.

• Courses can fulfill graduation requirements, elective credits and college entrance requirements.

• Each semester grade gives you units of credit toward graduation if you pass.

• “D” grades pass BUT should be repeated if you want to go to college

Does “Every” Year Count?• YES!!!! ALL GRADES

COUNT• UC/CSU uses gpa from grades

10-12 when you apply BUT 9th graders take courses in A-G pattern and must have C or better grades.

• AND Colleges ask for complete 4 year transcripts for final acceptance

• Other colleges look at the TOTAL gpa from grades 9-12

(most OC students go to private colleges)

• YES, IT ALL COUNTS!!

Graduation Units of Credit Required

• Social Studies: 40• English: 40• Math: 30• Science: 20• Fine Arts: 10• Computer App: 5• Voc Art: 5

• PE/Health: 20• Religion: 20• Elective: 45

• Total: 235• (taking 7 classes each

semester = 280)

A-G Pattern – what is it?• Calif. public universities have standardized

their entrance requirements, and call them the A-G Pattern

• Entrance requirements are generally the same for ALL colleges but it is wise to check private and out-of-state colleges requirements as they may differ from UC/CSU

• OCHS follows the A-G because it is standardized, not because we are recommending UC/CSU
