RECHS AVID

The following statements were shared by seniors during one of our lessons. I am sharing them with you to have a better insight on what is currently on their minds.

Feeling sad because I'm far from home so I am not hanging out with my family.

I am scared of not succeeding in my major of choice because I've wanted it for a long time, and I wouldn't know what else to do.

Moving away from my grandparents and brothers.

I am afraid of disappointing my parents.

Losing touch with my friends.

Missing home cooked meals

I fear paying student loans for the rest of my life

I am scared of change.

We are six weeks away from the end of the first semester. To say it is going by quickly is an understatement!

Senior students have been working on college and scholarship applications, prepping and taking SAT, ACT or both, and simply getting their ducks in a row for college life. Parents they are struggling. Not academically, but simply coming to terms with the fact that they are making big life decisions.

Freshman students have been working on understanding the importance of community service and preparing to take their TSI tests. They are quickly learning about the importance of managing their time. This six weeks has been a little more challenging, but with your continued support I am sure they can overcome their struggles.

Passing TSI is required to continue taking dual enrollment courses.
