 I have not taken the SAT/ ACT test yet, but I will be taking the SAT in October and the ACT in September of this year,  When I do attend college, I plan on staying on that College/ University’s campus to experience the college life more.  I chose these three colleges/ universities because I would like to visit home more frequently and also because I would like to stay in-state instead of going out-of-state.  I prefer smaller campuses, which also explains why I would prefer to go to Virginia Union.  Scholarships that I would like/ will apply for are:  Target.com Scholarship: $10, 000  Power Nine Scholarship: $10, 000  Any many more!  Before I go to college, I have to improve my three weaknesses; Being poise, conditioning, and having confidence.  Poise: Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation. Never fighting yourself.  Condition: Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Dissipation must be eliminated.  Confidence: Respect without fear. May come from bring prepared and keeping all things in proper perspective.
