This class is an exploration of the transition from childhood to adulthood. What are your individual strengths and challenges? How are you influenced by your family, friends, and various environments? How much do you know about your history and heritage? What are your core beliefs and values, and how do those shape how you deal with challenges? What are your goals for completing high school and the immediate years after high school? To help us on this journey, we’ll read four novels focused on different aspects of "coming of age" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about success. Students will be assigned a variety of papers and essays throughout the year to relate course topics and readings to their own experiences. (1 English credit)

You will write a one-page, typed, double-spaced reflection on your college fair experience. Describe which school booths you went to. What kinds of questions did you ask? What interesting or exciting information did you learn? How has the fair influenced your thinking about college and your post-high school plans? Was anything overwhelming or nerve-wracking for you?
