Topics covered in this workshop include how to build the best college list, how to apply for college, how to write a great college admission essay, and how to be considered for scholarships! The class is student led, where I will offer my advice and expertise along the way with many relevant activities and lectures. I love discussions! Life after high school includes being open to talk about your future with others. The course will offer you an immense amount of support in preparing for your college journey!
