The Senior Year ... a year of decisions. One of the most important decisions- college. The process of choosing a college to attend was a continuous one. it began long before the senior year. Students were flooded with mail from schools looking for prospective students. Tests such as the ACT and SAT needed to be prepared for and taken. Precious days in school were sacri- ficed” to enable students to visit colleges which interested them. Scholarships and fi- nancial aid forms had to be filled out and sent in before the rapidly approaching dead- lines arrived. It seemed as though the list of things to do would never end. But finally, the long list of prospective colleges was reduced to only two or three. Applications had to be sent in and then the waiting and wondering began. Of course, some students didn’t exper- ience the same anxieties. For them, college was not the answer. Instead, they chose to work full-time immediately after graduation. But they. too. had a difficult task to accom- plish. The process of looking for that perfect job was sometimes very discouraging. But for those with enough determination to keep searching, the process was very rewarding. Soon they were earning enough money to be self-supporting and no longer needed to de- pend on others. The senior year was a time for deciding about college, but it was also a time for learning. It was a time when students could see how well they would perform when faced with important decisions. It was a difficult time, but it was only the beginning of the many decisions to be made. Decisions concerning our present, our future, and our- selves. 1: Helen is living proof that some seniors do take time to study. 2: Rodney studies his chemistry in computer science- Seniors 9 ..
