Where are the Juniors?

One upon a time there were four teens, their beloved dog, and a short obnoxious puppy that hung out with them during specials. They enjoyed solving mysteries that somehow were magically sprung upon them.
Well, meet your PCCs. They somehow magically match up to the six characters up there. And we have a mystery too: where are all the Juniors??

In the last two weeks, over TEN colleges have visited Uni High one way or another. There have been TWO college panels, a college fair at Parkland, several that have visited Uni at lunch time. Yet, I have rarely seen Juniors there. Let me tell you two things:

1. College Season is NOW for admission counselors. True, some visit in the spring, but most visit in the fall. Now is the time to visit schools at lunch. Now is the time to start building interests.

2. Many Seniors have their lists already (aka, they don't need the Brown Baggers/college panels). This is YOUR time to look!

On Thursday, I went to a college panel. I went because two of the colleges there are on my list. I saw a few juniors, but compared to the number of kids in the junior class, it wasn't much.

I am challenging you, YES YOU juniors, to start going to events. Lisa makes these things happen for you, to help you. You have to help her a little though. It's ONE lunch, every two weeks or so. Not much, when you think about it.

PS. See you tomorrow at the Junior Meeting :]
