Make your Summer Really Count
Give yourself time to relax but also some time for introspection. Think about where and when you are truly happy and productive and that will give you a path to choosing a college. Spend some time shadowing some people whose life and jobs you admire. Would you be happy doing what they do? If you are an artist or musician or actor, begin working on your repertoire and ask for a critique of your work in preparation for the Fall. Complete your Community Service and do it with heart; clean your desk drawers as you will need them in the Fall. Read, read, read a keep a journal. Have a happy and restful summer!
