Wouldn't you love to slack off during your senior year? Well for that you'd have to do well every year before. And wouldn't it be so cool to have your college or university paid for by the end of your junior year well listen and fallow all of the fallowing steps:
1.) Freshman year:
-Try to get A's or B's, better A's in the most important classes, English 1, Algebra 1, and History. The others you may get as low as a C. But to set your GPA , get all B's and A's on your 9th grade year. The highest GPA you get during this year the better it is for you to keep it for the next.
-2nd =remember to look for scholarships at fatweb.com but remember to look through the requirement and qualifications.
-3rd=Try to get Honor classes but not too many, because sometime you can’t handle it, like I couldn’t and failed
P.S. you never get used to waking up early, I am a senior and still I can’t take it, but you will realize you have no choice and after all everything is worth it.
2)Sophomore year:
-During this year repeat the first step, you may get B’s but remember the main courses are the most important you may think that with a B your good, but when you try to apply for Bright Futures you need a 3.0 or higher
-Repeat all of the above and yes keep looking for scholarship and when you get one keep on applying because all the extra money you get to keep.
-See if you can buy or get a book at the library for the SAT and/or the ACT. I recommend both. Pay attention in your geometry class…Ohh and if you have to take the FCAT… try your best to pass it.
3)Junior year:
-Get the best grades possible and take the SAT and/or ACT, but don’t take it unless you have studied.
-Remember A’s and B’s the least C’s possible. D’s and F’s make them up in night school or afternoon school.
4.) Senior Year:
-Get B’s mostly and 2 C’s max your GPA will be at it’s highest. At least a 3.3
-If you took the SAT and/or ACT and you think you can do better try again, the highest score the better for scholarship and college or university applications.
=IF you have any questions please write to me or any comments I wil gladly give a hand to anyone, parent or student
P.S. If once your are in high school grade 9 and know what you want to study, there are schools that take you straight through training and college credits are acquired, am not very familiar, but please find out about this with your consulter.

Those are not good steps. I'm sorry, but if you want a full ride, you can't slack off your senior year, at all and you need a strong majority of A's. like a 3.7 or higher. Otherwise it's a hopeless case. You have to work hard all day everyday. You have to be in at least three activities not including sports and you need at least one sport. You need to be a good writer for the essays, have good people skills for the interviews, and be a good test taker for the test scores.
Well in my opinion i think this article is helpful.... and i will most likely fallow this guideslines since am a sophmore. Also, let me add that this is kind of what i have being doing and my consulter told me to keep on because am doing great. Something else, you forgot to mention the community hours i already have 10 how many do you reacomend?
Thank You for the advice i really consider it...
I made my daughter read this and she liked it, she told me, this is almost the same thing that she is doing and that she is going to try to find out about that type of school you talked about. Well the slacking off part i totally understood what you said. I know you mean to take a deep breath because if you leave everything for the last year it all piles up.
Thanl You for the Advice and have a Great Day
P.S. the community hour thing is true....
I definately agree my daugther deserves a break why because she did all this already. Now she has 6 months to pick out a expensive beautiful prom dress. Hopefully not very very, although she deserves the best.
GREAT ARTICLE!
I also do not believe that you can slack off your senior year. If you hope to be accepted into honors in college, your GPA has to be at least a 3.5.
Also, I recommend taking speech class and participating in speech and debate. Your public speakig ability will increase and your people skills will grow.
And, on the topic of extracurriculars, I would suggest one sport and maybe two extracurriculars. Sticking with two to three things for all four years looks really impressive on a college application. When a college can see you are dedicated, they will know that you will pursue this same activity in college.
Finally, be sure to volunteer. Do everything you can to show that you care about the community. I have worked on political campaigns, raised money to build schools in other countries, and volunteered at nursing homes. I was told by each college I applied that this was most impressive. It almost felt like my 4.0 did not matter. Oh well.

I'm sort of on the fence. I know that most college applications are usually sent in before you even get your grades for your second semester of senior year, so I would think you'd be able to slack off this semester provided you are already accepted to a college. But if you are not accepted before the end of you final semester of if admission is pending until these grades are out, I probably would tend to agree that you shouldn't slack off. However, if all the steps are in motion and you already have a place reserved for you at the college of your choice, I would say it would be safe to take a break.
you also misspelled "fallow"
its "follow"
I mean, hard work (that is a little ridiculous) is the price you pay for high school...
If you would prefer a more relaxed version of education, that will still get you into college by more than just a slide-by, then you should be home schooling.
I myself am a home schooler, and I'm going to make it to college just fine, with a rather flexible education schedule.
The thing is, being lazy, or slacking, will not pay off. It just wont.
