![]() By Erik Rodriguez Seniors! Have you kept up to date with what you’re supposed to do? If not, you better get back on track! There are many things that can’t keep you from graduating and the time to fix them is running. Make sure you are on track with credits, which you need a total of 24 to graduate .Since we are in second semester, it’s important to make sure you are passing all your required classes to get credit. If you are missing any, make sure you are taking night school or virtual school courses. If you’re not sure that you have all your credits, schedule an appointment with Ms. Sullivan, the senior counselor. Many seniors are held back from graduation each year for not meeting the 40 service hour requirement. If you are missing hours, go to the counseling office and ask for any available community service projects to accumulate your required hours. You can also keep your eyes open for any event coming up that can provide you with hours. Money is always a problem. Seniors, make sure you have cleared all of your debts. This includes temporary IDs, rentals, lost books, activity fees, lab fees, and graduation fees. You will not be able to graduate school if you owe money. Going to college is a must, so make sure you send out all your applications. Also, be sure to apply for FAFSA and scholarships to obtain free money to pay for your classes and books. Student loan are inevidable, but try to avoid borrowing more than you need. Too much debt will get you in a whole lot of trouble. Don’t be shy and talk to Ms. Sullivan; she is here to help. If you have any questions or concerns, you have to have a voice and approach someone that can help you. It is your responsibility to do what needs to be done. Noone wants to stay behind, so meet your deadlines and get ready to leave high school!
