Importance of Scholarships
Scholarships are very important I believe, especially if its need-based and you have no other way to pay for college. Getting a full ride to college for athletics, or academics can be a big help in a way where not only is there a lot of money saved but it also gives you a fresh start whenever you graduate college and don't have to spend the rest of your life paying off student loans. Scholarships and grants are both extremely helpful because you are not required to pay it back. Once its yours its yours! Also scholarships give a great motivation to students because students work hard and do what is required to receive them. Scholarships give students a reason to work hard and stand out from other students in the environment. They are a huge help in my society and I hope that they will continue to have scholarships around forever.

To Do:
The year is almost over so the things on my to do list will have to be done during the summer and my sr. year. Apply to colleges in august 2015.
Academically I need to be in AP classes to get my class rank and GPA higher. I also need to study as well as I can so I can make a great grade on my SAT/ACT. I do believe these colleges are the ones for me and will be the best ones for what I want to major in. These universities offer some of the best accelerated medical programs, and will get me a good start to my neurosurgeon career.
- Take ACT
- Retake SAT
- Letters of recommendation
- Get GPA higher
- Finish School
- Have a productive Sr. Year

April 10
A college degree may make your chances getting a good job better, but not always is it necessary. Even though studies show that college graduates have a higher employment rate and higher salaries, they also show that 50% of people that start a bachelors degree never finish. In 2013 studies show that student loan debts go as high as $30,000. Some careers such as welders, electricians, and plumbers ( jobs that aren't degree necessary ) can be making 100,000 per year, if talented. Most people dont consider what they are going to school for, and end up in jobs they dont have degrees in. Therefor, wasting a lot of money and being in debt. So in some cases what matters now is having the skills to do the job, not necessarily a piece of paper.

I think the U.S system does a good job as far as giving people the freedom to be whatever they want to be. However, the cost of education can get pretty ridiculous. The average student loan debt from 2013 was about 30,000. It takes some people years to pay off that money. I think The U.S should make education a more reasonable price, and better payment plans. Other than that, GO USA!
