9TH GRADE

During the 9th grade you will have so many more chances to learn about yourself. Joining clubs, volunteering in your community, and creating lifelong habits are all NECESSARY to helping you earn good grades.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN CLUBS? HERE ARE SOME CLUB SUGGESTIONS

Colleges and Employers need to know you can handle academics at the same time as outside activities. Plus, every interest develops a different skill.

Book/Hiking/Video Game Clubs

Honor Society

Student Government

Band/Orchestra/Choir/Art

Debate/Theater/Speech

Robotics/Tech/Communications

Volunteer at school or community centers

COLLEGES WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO STUDY

EMPLOYERS WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP YOUR FELLOW EMPLOYEES

Life isn't all about studying or work. It's about being part of a community. By the time you are ready to fill out a college or job application you will have lots of skills to write down. Your coach will help you determine which club or activity matches your goals.

If you tell a college, you want to be a doctor, but you have never volunteered in a clinic you’re not going to be very believable!!

School work always comes first!! Use your time in class and at school to get work done. Surround yourself with people that have the same goals you have and will help you reach those goals. Make sure to also take care of yourself mentally and physically!!

Are you taking care of your body and mind?

Are you getting 8-10 hours of sleep?

What's your eating habits like?

Are you exercising?
