Although a good GPA is important, don't believe the GPA myth and take easy classes just to pad your GPA. Most colleges require completion of certain high school courses for admission.

Gmorning.
I don’t know how to tell you this,
but
you’re not perfect.
You never will be.
You keep growing and messing up and learning
And your quirks become strengths
You are SO much better than perfect, love

This is one of the most important things to improve any aspect of life. It is vitally important in teaching. https://t.co/U89OGcXN9q

A willingness and openness to be reflective and to think about things differently are precursors to creating the most powerful learning experiences for kids. Thinking about doing things differently comes before doing them differently.

Attention HS seniors! One of the things admissions officers pay attention to, besides GPA, is course selection throughout high school. They like to see students have momentum going into freshman year. If you sit back your senior year, it's hard to recapture that momentum.

A great mentor text does more than show us qualities of good writing. It provokes something in us—memory, passion, a desire to write, to take our turn.

How to get yourself to do work when you're just not in the mood for it: https://t.co/lBvAlm5Ez9

[ACTStudent @ACTStudent]

You’re busy. We get it. BUT, if you spend just 30 minutes each week working on these four tasks, you’ll be that much more prepared for college!
