What does your future hold? Middle school may seem too early to start thinking about life beyond high school, but there are important steps students can be taking now. Learning good study habits, exploring the different options for the future, and having a general idea of what the future may hold, will help later down the road. There are also some college scholarship options that students need to apply for in middle school.
