If you haven't started thinking about your ten-year plans, start here: 

Ten-Year Plan

Where do you see yourself in ten years? 

How old are you? 

Where are you living? 

What are you doing for a living? 

How much does your life cost per month? 

Housing (rent):

utilities (water/power):

internet/cable:

food: 

phone: 

car payment:

car insurance:

gas:

student loans:

entertainment/travel:

shoes/clothing: 

savings:

childcare:

Can you afford the life you imagine?

California minimum wage is $13.00 an hour so 40 hours a week = $520 a week x 4 = $2080. $2080 x 12 = $24960
subtract taxes = 2080 - 300 = $1780

What is the average starting salary for the job you want? (Use the 90% make amount)

If you aren't sure what job you want, use Naviance. You can log on to Naviance with your Schoology sign in information. 

Naviance is a great tool for careers, colleges, and future planning. 

What college would you like to attend and why? Think about the size and location of the college, cost and diversity. Check out the colleges you might want to attend. What are the requirements? Cost? Compare and contrast a few college options. College results is a great place to start. 

Now think about your goals for high school. What activities do you want to be involved in? Are you going to take AP classes? What do you want your cumulative GPA to be? 

Those are the three paragraphs that are due Friday. Each should be four to five sentences

10 year vision

College goal

High School Plan

We are making it down the home stretch y'all! Keep it up and bring those grades up where you can.
