YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR CONCERN

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Do everything you possibly can to seize the opportunities that are available to you today. Tomorrow they may not be within your grasp. Live your life today so that tomorrow you will have no regrets.

Seniors, your days should be filled with planning for the days immediately following your graduation. Will you go to college? What kind of college do you want to attend, and where will it be? Have you applied for any colleges? Have you filled out your FAFSA so you will know if you qualify for grants? What scholarships will you apply for? Not all scholarships are awarded for grades. You can receive scholarships based on financial need, educational goals, essay responses, community involvement and leadership, work experience, and activities, just to name a few. The scholarship possibilities are endless. Don't let your financial award go unclaimed.

Maybe you have plans to enter the workforce directly after high school. What plans have you made? Is your resume up-to-date? Where do you want to live? Are you staying in Yuma? Are you looking to move to the big city, or do you enjoy smaller towns? Have you researched the job market in the place where you want to live? Have you started gathering applications? What business contacts have you made? What will you do for housing and transportation? Moving away from home takes a lot of planning.

Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, what are your future plans? Start now to design your success story. Waiting for tomorrow may leave you without any opportunities.
