Josh,
I really appreciate what you’re doing here. I know a lot of high school kids who need help like this. It was encouraging to find I have been doing everything right, and a little discouraging to also know I have yet to receive any scholarships. You’re articles were still worth the read though. Thanks!

Thank you, Brittany! I appreciate the kind words, and I agree that a lot of kids need the help. Keep up the good work and keep applying the principles I talk about here, and I think good fortune will eventually find you. The students who adhere to all of them are few and far between, and those who do stand out even more. Good luck!
