   One of the best feelings is opening the acceptance letter from a university. As we all know, college is expensive. Throughout most college students’ lives they had almost all their money given to them by their parents. But college is the time true responsibility begins. With the right information at hand, you can definitely get major financial assistance for college tuition(学费).【小题1】

Play a Sport

Some of the highest scholarships are given to college athletes, especially to the football player or baseball player, but do you know you can get scholarships for less known sports? 【小题2】 A senior year spent learning a new sport and perfecting the skills can lead to a full scholarship in college.

Volunteer

Most nonprofit organizations offer high scholarships to their volunteers. Try volunteering in your community, or a branch of major organizations. 【小题3】 It can be best to work for an organization that you are familiar with.

【小题4】

Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society. Building a relationship through visits and phone calls can make you stand out of the crowd. Remember, these people go through hundreds of applications(申请)a day — and a personal touch can really make a difference!

Apply Early

It can never be too early to apply for a scholarship. Applying early is another way to stand out of the crowd. 【小题5】It can also be a numbers game. Applying early can lead to more applications altogether, and someone who applies to 100 scholarships has a much better chance!

A.Keep in Contact
B.Recognize Your Background
C.Try taking part in golf, or horse-riding!
D.There are so many scholarships available to women or people of color.
E.Experience has proven that scholarships will be given to those that deserve them.
F.You can definitely score a better scholarship earlier, with much less competition.
G.A high level of community service will help you a lot in college and will be helpful for future careers.

How to Spend High School   High school can be a terrible period if you get it all wrong. Find out how to spend high school with a few easy tips.

   While some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college essay, others fail to see the importance of it. In some cases, these 600 words determine acceptance or a rejection. 【小题1】 It is also a process of self-discovery. Here are some helpful tips.

1. Have fun! When you get upset, it is reflected in your work. Relax, breathe and realize that this is the time to expose a side of you that the grades cannot.

2. Don’t settle for basics — be creative! 【小题2】 Stay away from volunteer work, your dead dog and vacations. Admission counselors (入学辅导员) see thousands of essays a month; make sure your essay is distinct from your experience and personality. Do not focus on what you think they want you to write, but what is actually significant to you.

3. 【小题3】 Although it is effective to appeal to the emotions of an admission counselor, I do not recommend writing an essay about sad stories. Self-pity can be annoying, and most admission counselors do not want that to be their first impression of you. 【小题4】 Make sure that the story is focused on your growth, not on the struggle.

4. Your essay is not a longer version of your resume (简历). If you send in a resume, there is absolutely no need to restate what is on it. Many students like bragging (吹嘘) about how much they do. It is amazing that you are involved, but admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume. 【小题5】

Good luck on your college essay!

A.It was received well by many.
B.Don’t try to make yourself a victim.
C.You can talk about how a work changed your life.
D.The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic.
E.Creating the college essay is supposed to be a fun and exciting task.
F.They want to see aspects of you that cannot be shown on a resume.
G.The only exception to this is that you have an inspiring struggle.

   We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently(坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing(追求). Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable.
When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.
Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.
You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.
【小题1】People who want things instantly will fail in many things because _______.
A.they want greater efficiency
