and how can i get a scholar ship

Answer 1

1. make your college decisions a little later once you've matured and experienced at least two years of high school.

2. if you want to make yourself look better, don't lead off with your minority status.  lead off with what you can contribute.

3. take the best, toughest courses your school has to offer

4. golf and tennis are better sports for a young person than football because you can use them profitably when you are older for networking

5. you get a scholarship by being good enough to get a scholarship.
