Change never stops, as we’re constantly evolving into the success story we were destined to have. So, although we vowed to renew our minds through quotes and scriptures in Part II and Part I's Top Five to guide us along the way, this is just the beginning.
Proverbs 1 teaches us that only fools despise wisdom and discipline and, in order to get ahead, those two traits are indispensable. So are educational blogs, websites and search engines. Make them your best friends.
Below, are a few of my favorite education sites and search engines, two of which I’ve used myself:
Fastweb.com: I used this search engine my entire college career. It matches colleges, scholarships, internships and jobs according to your major, career interests and group affiliations. Plus, they email alerts about deadlines directlly to you. And, don’t worry about updating your profile each year, as the classification and other info updates itself.
OutlawStudent.com: I stumbled across this blog a few months ago. The writer uses emails he receives and answers the senders' questions on the site, mostly to prove that we all have the same concerns. Subscribe to this site, as it offers great advice about paying off loans, career and course choices and info for the untraditional collegiate.
CollegeScholarships.org: This site offers tons—100, to be exact—more websites, blogs and search engines for college-bound eagles, like you, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Just take your time and visit the ones that most pertain to your needs.
Please do not just rely on the list above. If you have developed your Top Five, as mentioned in Part I of this series, then tap into their network of sites and blogs to gain more info.
If you developed the academic plan (Remember: Where there is no vision, the people perish - Proverbs 29:18), as described in the Final Call – Hop On Board The Train of Success post, but having a hard time sticking with it, educational blogs, like this one, can recharge your focus.
And, as always, please email me about openings in my Exclusive Mailing List for one-on-one in-depth tips designed specifically for your needs. I love education and helping you realize that God did not make you to be pigeon, but an eagle, is simply my pleasure.
What blogs or sites are you currently checking out? How are they helping you on the road to academic success?
