Google Day 1

Goals

Questions

1. What careers am I interested in, that suit me?
2. Where would I want to go to college?
3. How can I be ready to apply to a college?

I am interested in studying;

• Design
• Phycology
• Photography
• Art 
• Music
• English

I would really like to go to college in

• The UK
• USA
• Canada

To apply to a college in the US, I can be ready by taking AP courses and extracurricular activities. To start getting ready to apply to college I can do a couple things including; making copies of my report cards, saving or making a list of awards and honors that I have received, a list of the clubs and organisations I have participated in and when, a list of any jobs I've had (volunteer or paid), and letters of recommendation. By doing this I will have the things that I need for the applications ready for when I apply.

Goals for next class
