Scholarships are important because they allow colleges to gain popularity because people who wouldn't normally attend certain colleges get that option. Scholarships are a great way to provide opportunities for people. Since they help people start off their careers after college with less debt and less stress, people have more opportunities to take their careers in the directions they want to. With more people attending colleges,the colleges can provide better facilities and better education levels. Having weird scholarships also caters to people's specific talents and traits that make them unique. It recognizes parts about people that could easily go unnoticed. #collegetransition

1. Before college, I need to take my ACT and I would like to retake my SAT as well. I also need to get letters of recommendation and fill out some applications.
2. I am going to take my ACT early this summer and then later I will retake the SAT. I will get my recommendation letters at the beginning of the school year next year. I will be filling out my applications as I complete new things.
3. Academically, my grades can be higher, although they are technically high enough.
4. These colleges seem good to me because they all offer good kinesiology programs and are in cool locations.

I believe a college degree is necessary in most cases. It mostly depends on your future goals however. For instance, someone going in to the military does not need a degree, but someone wanting to become a lawyer definitely needs one if they ever want to be hired. Degrees are extremely expensive, but not many people will hire someone with out a college degree. In my opinion, degrees are essential if you want to get a high paying job in almost every case.

The school system in Australia gives you very similar opportunities to the ones in America. Our school system and theirs are fairly similar. The largest difference that I found with my partner was the names of the grade levels. College is slightly cheaper for Australian students, but they may not make as much money there so it is hard to tell for sure if it really is any different. #collegetransition
