I like you love to research and be organized, but I admire your fortitude so early on.
You'll find it helpful having kept track of the smaller things like summer programs and EC's when it comes time for your kid to write those applications/essays/scholarship applications and when needing info for teacher recs. I also threw in a folder any letters,award certificates that came along the way just for reminders sake.
It especially came in handy for D#1 who was music performance major/merit scholarship applicant.What a wild ride that was..keeping track of audition appts,plus all the usual stuff. After her S #2 was a piece of cake, "only one "major,merit scholarship and having lived through D's wild ride a few years prior.
When the college mail came, we didnt throw anything away for awhile, just dumped it into big bins for later sorting.
wait till you get to make the spreadsheets with app deadlines,test sendouts,teacher recc sendouts, FAFSA and other financial stuff...you'll either be in heaven or hell!! |
