Importance of Scholarships.
The major importance of scholarships is that they help people pay for their schooling. College can cost a lot of money, and getting some for free can really take the burden off of people. Some people are not able to afford college and to get a start with the scholarship is very important to people. The scholarships motivate students to strive for good grades and continue to do their talent, like play in sports, to go to college for less money. They are a great way to help start your future, since it is important to go to college and get a good job. Scholarships can help you when getting into a college, since they will see on your resume that you applied and got one. Especially a merit-based scholarship, it can show that you stood out among your peers, and that would look great for when you are trying to get into a college.

Reflection Blog
What I have left to do:
1.) Turn in application/apply
2.) Pay application fee
3.) Get letters of recommendations
4.) Send SAT scores
5.) Send ACT scores
6.) Apply for FAFSA
When tasks will get accomplished:
1.) Applying for early decision, around November.
2.) Paying application fee when applying, around November.
3.) Start asking around August/late September.
4.) Around August-September.
5.) Around August/September.
6.) Around February.
Academically, am I where I need to be?
-As of right now, I am where I need to be. My SAT score is above the minimums for the colleges that I have chosen. Most of the colleges also will not require you to have a minimum if you are in the top ten percent of your class, which I am. I am not as high in my GPA or SAT scores as I would like to be, but I could work harder on those and retake the test.
Are these colleges really the ones for me or do I need to modify my search?
-I may want to modify my search some to find more of what will help me with my career choice. About two of my three choices for colleges do apply for that, but I would like to find more options in state so I am not limited. The other college I chose because I have just wanted to go there since forever, and it is still an option, but I am uncertain as to whether or not it is the best for my career.

College Degree/ US&Israel school rating
1.) A college degree is honestly necessary and worth the time and money put in for economic and social success. A lot of jobs today are requiring some sort of degree for someone to work for them. The time and the money might not seem like it is worth it at the time, but in the long run it is worth every second that goes into it. Also, it helps when you are applying for a job. When they are trying to decide whether or not they are going to hire person a or person b for the job and one has a degree and one does not, they are going to go with the one that has the degree. It also helps with the kind of job that you get, if you have a degree, you are more likely to not only get a higher paying job, but probably keep it as well. It also is worth getting the career that you dream of. It is easy to go get a temporary job at like McDonald's or something, but to get a permanent job takes tons of work. The work may seem like a lot, but in the end it will pay off when you have the degree to do what you have always wanted.
2.) I think that the United States does not have as much opportunity college wise as Israel. In Israel, there is a college that you can go to with other students to learn amongst other different, diverse cultures. This is a great opportunity to see how others live and how they do certain things. Israel makes their students go to school until they are 16, but the education after that is free/optional. I think that this does not really encourage students to go and do what they want or even care about their education. Same with them making the Israel students, male and female, go into the military for three and two years. This is not something that everyone wants to do and go into. Overall, I rank the US a little higher in opportunity because they let the students be what they want and not make them do something. Israel is a little behind the US in ranking because they do give people the opportunity to do schooling with people that have different cultures and experience and learn the differences.
