My Story - From Highschool to College

I had a decent high school experience but I worked like a dog. Chasing grades and class standings and stacking extracurriculars up like firewood in an attempt to make myself more appealing to colleges. I lost the last 2 years of high school betting on having a big return in college.

Then college didn’t go how I planned it. I ended up changing majors, and then changing schools. All that led to lost scholarships, credits that didn’t transfer, and a lack of purpose. The stress and the feeling like I waited so long, worked so hard, and given up so much for something like this was crushing me.

I decided I wanted kids to know all the things it took me years and tons of student loans to start to figure out. I wanted to offer a resource for kids and parents to use as they prepared for college or whatever was coming after high school.
