My budget did surprise me. I knew that there would be many expenses, but I never factored in living expenses. I expected to only have to pay maybe three fees maximum, but there is so much more. Housing, car, utilities, etc. I also realized that I will need a job that pays a lot more than minimum wage.I dont think I could afford college on my own without my parents. I don't think I am ready for that much responsibility. I have realized that adulthood is not far away, and I still think of myself as a kid. To prepare for those responsibilities, I have to do very well in school to get scholarships also save up, and cover many of the expenses now by having a job in high school.

I would love to pursue the fashion merchandising and business field. I chose this career because it consists of being able to know what people like currently, and what they will like in the future. I know what looks good, and I have knack for fashion, and I am always complimented on my sense of style. My family and friends constantly come to me for advice on clothes, what they're wearing, and style etiquette. Also, fashion sense runs in my family. I come from a family of designers, seamstresses, artists, and professional milliners. I also have been told that I am good with making business deals and transactions. My goal is to own my own chain of stores.

My score on the stress test is a 14 out of 28. I am not surprised from this score and I am already aware that . This is an occurring theme since dealing with my last school which was emotionally and mentally draining and stressful mainly because of schoolwork. I tend to either take things very seriously or I not care at all. I can control this by just doing things that make me happy and finding balance and time to relax.

I admit that I am sometimes guilty of procrastination, as most teenagers are. I can stop procrastination by keeping up with what I have to do in a planner or setting reminders on my phone. My mistake is convincing myself that I have more time to do he task than is actually available. Also, I must achieve the mindset that there is no time like the present, and just do the task early. I believe that my life will improve when I start  making these changes in order to prevent procrastination.

Procrastination hurts you in your outside life and especially student life. Procrastination is dangerous because it eventually becomes a habit hat is difficult to break. When one gets to college, procrastination can be their worst enemy, because that does NOT work in college! Also, the work is never done to the person's best ability if it is rushed at the last minute.

My current organizational method does not have a complete structure right now. Basically, I just do not take anything out of my backpack and keep all papers in a designated folder. I have a main folder for classes that I do not need to notebook for. This has been working for me but I could be more organized. I am trying no to just have my papers loose in my backpack so that my work will not be crumpled up when I turn in the assignment. Also, I am trying to keep the information from each class in their designated notebooks so that my notes are easier to access.

Hi I'm Kairah Roseau and I enjoy dancing, fashion, and having a great time with my friends. In this class, I hope that it will help me know what I need to do for college to get accepted. I have had some problems with grades in the past 2 years at my other school, and I hope I can find a way to get my GPA back up, and get accepted to schools. A blessing would be to even get a scholarship, though the chances of that are now slim. I do not have the slightest idea what college I would like to attend in the future. I have no idea what the steps are in order to get into college other than getting good grades, which I am trying to do now.
