<p>…or at least I must, because I am now a senior member! It only took me 4.5 years to get here. My youngest is entering his sophomore year of college, so I don’t come on here as much anymore, but I still do enjoy it and hope I can contribute as much to others as was contributed to me!</p>
<p>Our HS has this whole strategic plan thing going on and they’ve formed all these committees to implement the plan. I usually don’t go within a mile of that sort of thing, but there is a committee regarding college and career information. As I, too, am a senior member, I’ve thought about joining the committee to share my “wisdom”.</p>
<p>Missiepie-I know the feeling regarding these types of committees, but I think you should consider signing up for this one. In addition to your own experiences, you have read about so many others through this site. They need people like you.</p>
<p>Our school has one GC per about 550-600 students so you can imagine that the college “counseling” the kids receive is close to none. It’s even more bleak if kids actually want to step off the treadmill and go to a trade school…the school just provides no information.</p>
<p>Then you should definitely help them out.</p>
