Being College Ready (FC)

Currently being a senior, I always hear 'College Ready, College Ready, College Ready'. Being college and career ready basically consists of getting a score of an 80 and above on your math and reading regents. It means having skills and wanting to pursuit a 4 year college. As a senior this term is always coming up constantly. Supposedly I'm currently a college and career ready person.
College is finally hitting me in a way. We are finally seniors. College applications need to be done. College essays need to be done. Recommendations and more. I keep putting them off in a way. When I have conversations with adults and they find out I'm a senior it never fails that I get asked 'What College are you going to?'. We're gonna graduate and might not even see most ever again. We have to go out into the real world. Student loans, getting a job, paying bills.
They say I'm college ready on paper but am I ready mental. Class of 2014 are you ready?

    Great post. I agree with you. I think those test scores are really just a minimum. The work ethic and mental skills can be so much more useful and necessary to success in life.
