Attend Your Dream College

In just a few short years, you will have a whole different first day. Maybe it will be a first day on the job. Or on an apprenticeship. Maybe it will be your first sunny study session on a college quad. First, though, you get some time to figure out who you are and what you want. Sounds easy, right? That’s where we come in. We’ve learned that the best way to find your path is to get to know yourself. Use this eBook to figure some of that out. Just like high school, it won’t be easy. But it will help you decide where you are headed. So, where do I start? Let’s start with you. What do you like? What do you loathe? You wouldn’t go to art school if you hate art. And you probably wouldn’t be a music intern if you can’t carry a tune. Sure, you’re only a teenager, but you may already know some things, like if you can’t stand math or love being outdoors. Here’s a quick quiz to start feeling this out—but remember this isn’t the final say. You may change your mind about math or find you have a real talent for writing as high school moves along. So, come back and try this quiz again in a year or two.
