Lesson Comments
Trevor seems enthusiastic about applying to college, however, is unclear about what to look for and how to decide if a college is right for him. He seems receptive of looking at out of state schools, but realizes the advantages of attending-state. Before actually developing a potential college list, there is some preliminary preparation that will need to be accomplished such as scheduling ACT/SAT tests, reviewing coursework and current GPA as well as preparing his resume. I am excited to begin the college journey with Trevor. It may be more advantageous to schedule more frequent "hour" sessions, rather than 1 1/2 hr sessions since Trevor may have a difficult time focusing for that long of a period. I am going to try to restructure our time together to assist Trevor in staying on task. It is still too early to assess this, however, this is my first impression.
