Junior year is almost over. Take a few steps over the summer to prepare yourself for bigger steps during senior year.
Visit colleges
Schedule campus tours at two or three colleges or career training programs. This will help you learn about different education environments and decide which style is a good fit.
Outline an essay

Take summer classes at a local college
Enrolling in summer courses can help you get ahead, and shows admissions officers that you are serious about and capable of being an academic success at their school.
