Who are you?

• Your likes
• Your Dislikes
• What are you good at?
• What are you not good at?
• Hobbies
• Pastimes
• Community Service

These are things one needs to know. The best way to find these things out is to write a short summation about you. Then have each of your parents do the same! You should also get your best friend or friends (no collaborating), your favorite teacher, also your LEAST favorite teacher and possibly an objective Aunt or Uncle to do this as well.

Once you have all these written summaries simply sit down with your parents, read over them together and you should get a good feel for who you really are, then you can discern where and who you should contact for applications to see what you qualify for when seeking money for college.

Just remember to include ALL of your hobbies, community service and any and all odd jobs you have done including those that you have done for your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends parents as well as helping another friend with a class they may be struggling with (TUTORING).
