If you'd like to share your education story, we'd like to hear it. You can do it in writing. Or you can post a video on YouTube.
The purpose is to give high school students an idea of what to expect after they graduate and what options they have that they may not have considered.
Here are some questions to get you started. Just answer the ones that apply to you.
1. Did you graduate from high school? Get a G.E.D.?
2. If you went to college right after high school...
- · Why?
- · Did you stay at the first college you attended? If not, why not?
- · Did you finish college?
- · If you finished college, did you finish in four years? If not, why not?
- · Were you able to get a job in your major field? If not, why not?
3. If you didn't go straight to college from high school...
- · What did you do right after high school?
- · What kinds of training did you get?
- · What kinds of work have you done? How did you feel about it?
- · Have you returned to college? After how long? Why?
4. Do you consider yourself successful?
5. What is one thing you want high school students to know?
6. What is one thing you want college students to know?

Please introduce yourself with your first name (last, too, if you like). For video, five minutes is a good length to shoot for.
