Waiting for the Envelope

The high school class of 2011 is sitting on pins and needles waiting for the infamous "envelope" that decides their fate for the next four years.  So, what are you doing in the interim.  This is not the time to sit back and relax.  My hope is that a great number of seniors are enrolled in community college classes.  What an inexpensive way to get through those general education requirements and a "bargain price".  If you haven't enrolled in a course for this spring semester, consider taking a summer course.  Schools are registering soon.  Do not miss out.

If you are not going to take a community college class, you should be working in a job that not only gives you spending money for senior activities or college tuition, but that lets you explore a career you are considering.  If you want to be a lawyer, you should be working in a law office.  If you want to be a nurse/physician you should be working somewhere in the medical field.  If you want to be an architect, work in the construction trades.  Even if you intern, and are  not receiving a paycheck; the skills, knowledge, experience and connections could prove to be priceless. 

So stop sitting around waiting for the envelope.  Study so you can get your best grades ever, and get out there and explore the world of work.
