![]() Edith Flores By Viridiana Munoz Staff Writer Edith Flores, a graduate from the class of 2011, came back to Hubbard to give some advice to the seniors. She was not an IB student, but she did take Honors and Advanced Placement classes, which she recommends for all students to do. When asked what college is like and how it is different from high school, Edith said, “College gives you a lot more freedom than high school; it is definitely more studying, but that is done independently, and it is really up to you to keep up with classes and look for your professors when you need help.” Edith is currently attending University of Wisconsin at Madison. She earned the Posse Scholarship, which pays for her entire tuition with the exception of books and room and board, which is paid for with her fi nancial aid money. In order to win the scholarship, she was interviewed three or four times, wrote essays, and had to apply to the university she wanted to attend. She is away from her family and had to get used to a new community, but she was able to manage it. Edith strongly urges seniors apply for scholarships because they can help cover the many costs that come with college. She also recommends students to apply to different schools and to keep an open mind. Edith said getting involved also benefits students since it helps you meet people, learn about yourself, and the way things work.
