The College and Career Unit

Over the course of this unit I have learned many valuable things that will help me in the future. How to do research,write a resume, write a college essay, and even how to go through an interview! Also choosing which college is best for me.
  During the beginning of the unit I learned about high school schedules what colleges expect you to do in high school to be excepted. Later on, I focused in how to get accepted by the college of my choice. During this time I  even had to complete an application. Then I had to research different majors and which colleges offered the one I wanted and fit my criteria. And how to get along with my professors!
 For the remainder of the unit, I focused on choosing an occupation and how to actually get the job. I had to learn how to write a resume. Also, I had to write my own letter of recommendation and answer job interview questions.
After I had my interview with Mr. Figueroa and when all this is finished I will keep my college and career folder along with all the important papers I received ( resume, application, etc. ) in a safe place. By the time I am in high school and college I will take these notes out and study them so that I can be successful .
