3. What to Do About Senioritis
You're a senior! You have worked hard for three years, taking tests, completing projects and preparing for ??? College admission? Heading into the workforce??? Taking it easy during 12th grade - or developing senioritis, as some call a senior-year slump - is likely to do more harm than good. Although your goal is in sight - graduating from high school isn't over yet.

List three Goals you have for your new beginning:

Dare to Dream!
