Alright guys! Now it's time to get serious! You need to really think and figure out your top 3 schools.  When you have narrowed down the list (4 is acceptable but 2 IS NOT), you need to take a look at their admission process and make a checklist for ALL things you need for EACH college.  I have provided more info for you...READ IT! Don't ask me questions until you have.  This is a "college-based" course and YOU are the leader.  I have even provided an EXAMPLE so there isn't much to ask.  These checklists are due a week from today and must EACH be SIGNED by a parent/guardian.
Good Luck!

Your budgets are due Tuesday. Just do the best you can and email me the link or presentation WITHIN 10 MINUTES of class BEGINNING on Tuesday.  We have another assignment ready to get started on Tuesday so there's no time to waste.
MAKE SURE TO HIT YOUR DEADLINE!!!

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD

Hello, my little MINIONS:-)).
Obviously I am not in today so your career presentations will begin tomorrow.

For today...click HERE

Type RESUME in the search engine.  Choose one of the templates, download it, and get started on filling it out!  For each template they should have descriptions on what information will go in that area of the resume. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THE DOCUMENT TO YOUR U-DRIVE!!!  Ask the person next to you if you need some assistance, but other than that there shouldn't be ANY talking! Most (or all) of you should know how I feel about how you should behave when a substitute is present.  You honestly DO NOT want me to receive an unfavorable report from the substitute.
Have a great Monday, and I will see you tomorrow.

P.S. Congrats to our Volleyball and Football teams on their wins Friday night!<3
