November is a distressingly busy month for many first-year law students, myself included. My to-do-list is a mile long and those crazed exam jitters are finally looming freely. Nevertheless, just when I had determined that the list couldn't grow any longer, I added yet another thing - making drastic changes to my blog!
I thought for quite some time about the information I'm able to obtain and share. I also contemplated the various groups of people with which I could share that information, and I've come up with a wonderful conclusion. I'd like to help high school students find their path to higher education! I might be in law school now, but since I just graduated from college in May, I'm not too far removed from the undergraduate application process. Not to mention, I have a pamphlet that I wrote and distributed as a college freshman to those who were curious as to how I was offered over $500,000 in scholarships. So, I have a basic outline of certain materials and advice that I'd like to cover.
I'll still be one step closer to the real world, but my hope is to assist others in making substantial steps in their lives as well, especially students from underrepresented communities and those who are unable to retrieve such information easily. For now, I'll give you all a preview of some of the topics that I will cover:

- Slow and Steady Wins the Race - Small Scholarships and Their Importance

- Common Application
- Fastweb
- CollegeBoard
- Questbridge
- Gates Millennium Scholars
- Demystifying Application Fee Waivers

I think that's a pleasant preview of the topics that I will be discussing in the near future! Until then, I'm going to get back to my Property Law outline. If you have any suggestions as to other subjects that you'd like me to cover, feel free to leave a comment!
