While all Club TNT members pledge to be drug, alcohol and tobacco free and, if of school age, to remain enrolled and active in their respective schools; some plan to continue their education after graduating from high school. When is the best time to start planning for college? ITS NEVER TOO SOON!
Check out our getting ready for college links. Nationwide, only about half of those that decide to go to college actually earn degrees. On some campuses, it is not uncommon for half the freshman class to not successfully complete their first year. It doesn't need to be this way. Being ready for the different expectations and demands of college is important. Differences Between High School and College. For some, seeing and accepting the differences between high school and college is the key. Our education systems perform different roles at different levels. College is a whole different "ball-game" than high school. Check out our links for: key differences, links for more transition resources, and links about special educational needs. Click HERE for more. Self Understanding. Today's collegians need to understand their learning styles - in many ways, this self-understanding will be the key to success in school and after graduation. Learn more about different learning styles including: active & reflexive, sensing & intuitive, visual & verbal, and sequential & global. There is also information about how we learn and more links about learning styles. Click HERE for more. Time Management for College Students. One of the reasons that getting started in college can require adjustments is that in high school, time management is not much of an issue.
