Scholarships

Scholarships are large sums of money that are used to help a student get through college, they are given around high school. They are very important because they make us strive to achieve good grades and stats so that we can get them. Scholarships also help us to get into colleges of our choice, some of them will give you free education, as long as you go to a certain college. So if you are lucky enough and work hard enough, you could get a full ride scholarship to a very prestigious college.

College Preperation

   I don't have much left to do before I make it to college. First I need to take my SAT, then I need to finish getting my high school degree. I also need to get a car and some savings for when I go.  First I will take the SAT in close to a month, then I will get a job and start saving money for a car. Then I will finish high school and keep a job for a little bit till I'm ready to leave for college. Academically, I am in a place where everything can work for me. Although, I need to work harder to try and get a higher class rank/GPA because it always helps. Honestly I think these colleges are for me, this is because I want to go to college either here in Texas since it is cheaper. Or I want to go to college in a place that I've always wanted to go, like New York City, or Chicago.

College Degree/School System Rating

College degree's are very worth it for the time and the cost that it takes to get them. It does cost a huge sum of money and it takes some years of your life, but it enables you to get a prestigious job and make more than enough money to live with. Although, to some it may not be worth it, but to me, a degree is one of the easiest ways to earn money and be successful in life.

I would rate our U.S. school system about equal with that of Japan's. The reason why I would rate us equal with them is because we have close to the same amount of schooling years, and also have almost the same requirements. So, in turn, our schooling systems are just about the same, with the exception being that more Japanese people go on to college than Americans.
