However, if you are a highly ambitious student who is seeking admission at a top tier university like the University of Chicago, UCLA or NYU, taking full… Read More

Summer has already come or is quickly approaching for most of you, but you have no idea as to what to do with it. Some of you will be going to a four-year or two-year school, others to the military and some to the work force, but what about the people that have not graduated from high school yet and still have a year or two left? Well, you can… Read More

I have known seniors who decided to join a sport or club during their senior year and absolutely loved it.
