Are you starting to think about life after high school and whether higher education is right for you? You’re not alone if you feel scared, confused, or overwhelmed by the many steps and processes you have to follow to get to college.

But you don’t need us to tell you that. At CaliforniaColleges.edu, we believe that student voices matter, especially when it comes to talking about the importance of planning for life after high school. That’s why we teamed up with Get Lit student poets to tell their personal stories related to their pursuit of higher education. Each week, we’ll be featuring a new piece by a student from Get Lit.

Check out Millen’s piece below!
