Students...are you currently in the midst of writing essays, taking standardized tests, hunting for recommendation letters or polishing your college r�sum�? Do you find yourself thinking, dreaming, and contemplating the college application process? Are thoughts of finding the "perfect" school circulating through your mind even though graduation is one, two, or three years away? If any or all of these scenarios sound eerily familiar then our Convocation and Career Symposium is just what you need!

Take a deep breath! October 1st, Maria Furtado, from Colleges That Change Lives http://www.ctcl.org/, will share with you her expertise in finding the right college fit for YOU! Who knows...maybe her insights will change the way you are thinking about college and the college application process. After Convocation, the Career Symposium begins in AMHS classrooms, where you will listen to your choice of speakers from a wide variety of fields. These leaders in the fields of medicine, science, law, engineering, business, art, film, academia, journalism and more will share their own educational and career journeys while offering insights into areas of study that may interest you. Juniors and Seniors will have a special focus session on essay writing from an Admissions Representative from University of Chicago.

It is bound to be a great day...one that just might change your life.
