Dear Editor:

As senior year approaches, many juniors stress over college planning. The article, “Tips on scoring cash for college,” posted by Michelle Warkentin, Dec. 10, gives useful information to students who are preparing for college.

After I read this article, I had developed new knowledge for my future education.

We all know colleges are expensive and that is why we need scholarships. Warkentin wrote important tips on learning how to earn these scholarships. She also recommended students to get a head start at preparing ahead of time.

Many key points to succeed in college were covered in this article.
Since college does not seem so far away anymore, the next chapter to my life seems so much closer.

Now I understand the scholarship process more, giving me a head start in knowing what scholarships are more applicable to me. Now I will actually start planning ahead to see what scholarships I can earn.

I found this article, in particular, very helpful. For example, I now understand the requirements in earning scholarships to colleges. This article also gave me encouragement to stay strong and push through my last years of high school.

I recommend that every upperclassman read this article, so that they too will get a better understanding on college preparations.
