A Final Comment

College planning is a complex and lengthy process. If you find you have initially taken the wrong direction, take heart. At least one-half of all students make some important change between leaving high school and graduating from college. It is a time of change. Help yourself by being aware, by questioning and by accepting inevitable changes without excessive regret. Advisors at colleges and counselors at high school are available to help you explore alternatives, give advice, and answer questions. In the end, you will make the decisions and take responsibility for the results, growing and learning in the process. It is a wonderful time of your life--be deeply involved and enjoy it.
