Reflections
• I learned that college is really expensive and that to get into such an expensive college, I need to get a scholarship, loan, or other kind of financial aid.
• I also found out how many different scholarships there are out there.
• I learn that college is so much more competitive, so I need to learn not to procrastinate and to study more.
• Now, I know that I need to really prepare for college, by taking the right steps in high school.
