Reflection of HIgh School

They say high school will be the best years of your life, hopefully they aren't. High school is a great time though. These are the times when we just start to figure out who we are and what we want to do with out lives. Throughout my four years at Lincoln countless things have happened, all good with a few rough patches here and there. High school has definitely changed me. I work two jobs and am involved in three sports. I see my friends more than my family some weeks. One of my biggest worries for after high school would be not being able to see everyone once we all go to college. One of my friends will be starting college in June, she's not even sure when the next time she will be home. Once I finally decide where it is I want to attend college and finally figure out some sort of degree I would like to do I think it will be a little easier. It will definitely be hard, but I think once it all plays out I will enjoy it and in the end it will just help me appreciate my family and friends and the time that I get to spend with them even more.

College Cost

If I end up choosing to stay in town and attend NCTC, tuition would cost around $6,000. The upside to attending this college would be I could stay at home, which would take down a lot of money I would need if I moved any where else. After completing the FAFSA, I would end up having to pay little to no money for the first year. I could continue to apply for more scholarships so my second year would also be on the cheaper side for me.
