Good Morning Sophomores and Happy Thanksgiving (almost)! We are going to continue with the theme we were focused on before our mentor breakfast Friday. There are three parts to today!

  • Please complete Edutyping lesson 14.2
  • Please respond to the following blog post:
    • Below are three quotes about college. Please take a moment to read all three of these quotes. Then, please choose one quote and write 5 sentences describing what the quote means to you and how you feel it represents the importance of a college education to you! 
      • A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. --Theodore Roosevelt
      • A liberal education... frees a person from the prison-house of class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation. --Robert Maynard Hutchins
      • A liberal-arts education is supposed to provide you with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas, not a job. --Caroline Bird
  • Take a moment to share out on the following:
    • The two colleges you chose last week and the requirements for entry
    • A discussion of the quotes listed above
    • A success brainstorm - What are the three most important characteristics or habits that will help a student to be successful in college?
