Jessi had mid-term exams this week. She thinks she did well. She
has also started seriously working on her college plans.
Harker
has an excellent college counselling program – as you might expect
from a Silicon Valley college prep school.
Today, Jessi started
researching what scholarships are available. We will not know about
academic scholarships until Jessi has her Junior year grades and test
scores – probably next summer. However, there are many dozens
of scholarships which target social, political, racial, professional,
and national groups. Others are awarded to winners of a competitive
essay contest. Most of the essays have bland set topics but others
are stranger. One essay Jessi is thinking about writing is about the
effect of food allergies on her life (caffein makes her heart race
so no spiked sodas and minimal chocolate).
We also ordered two study books to help Jessi prepare for her SAT
tests in April.
