Pressure

Most people say good things about senior year, and for the most part I agree with them. But I have chosen to take some OCC classes which give me the feel of college classes. And I think this is one of the best decisions I have made. Another pressure of senior year is choosing a college. Lucky the major and career I'm going for is only offered at very few colleges. Only 2 in the state of KY offer a Physical Therapy Graduate program and the best way to get into the graduate program is go to to the school for undergraduate to get your foot in the door. I had an easy decision picking my college, University of Evansville and I couldn't be happier. A third pressure of senior year is keeping my grades up. Most people in their senior year contract Senioritis. I could easily do this because I've already gotten my academic scholarship and my college doesn't require that I send in my grades at the end of the year. But I want to contract this disease because I want to pass my classes and not have the disease carry over to next year and become a habit. People all around me getting Senioritis but I will not let it get me. The fourth pressure is Scholarships. This is the biggest problem I have right now, because there are sooo many that I don't apply for. I have all the these other pressures plus writing essays and filling out tons of forms for something that I may not even get. It feels like a waste of time when you spend a month writing an essay and not win the money. I have a hard time concentrating on doing this because I have other things to work on. I need to start making time to fill out scholarships and get money for college.
