Should Your Freshman Be Thinking About College? YES—Here’s Why

 Many parents ask, “Isn’t 9th grade too early to think about college?” The answer: No! Early planning = less stress later and more opportunities for success.

Why Freshman Year Matters

📊 GPA Starts Now: Colleges look at all four years of high school.
🌟 Extracurriculars Build Over Time: Long-term commitment and leadership = stronger applications.
🏆 Scholarship Potential Begins Early: Some awards consider all high school years.

What Your Teen Should Focus On in 9th Grade

✔️ Building strong study habits and a solid GPA
✔️ Trying out clubs, sports, and activities to explore interests
✔️ Developing time management skills for a balanced schedule

💡 Tip: This doesn’t mean stressing about college—just making intentional choices from the start!
