Fill out the following worksheet on your own or with one of your peers. For the NTHS portion, sketch out a few ideas on the back of the worksheet and then transfer one of them to the appropriate Google slideshow. If you work with someone else, please leave a comment with both of your names for credit. Make it NEW TRIER-specific, not just high school-specific :)

The original: 

Good luck next year with your coursework and the college selection process (if that's what you decide to do). Remember that the more choices you have, the more dissatisfied and paralyzed you will be, but that MAKING a choice is the most important way to end the agony. You WILL love what you choose, provided that you commit to that choice and don't look back.

I thoroughly enjoyed being your instructor and most importantly, I treasure the relationships we created. Now please enjoy your summer!
