To be an active part of what's going on in the coming decades, you
must begin to prepare yourself now. Concentrate on taking mathematics
and science courses which help train your mind to think logically and
to question how things work. Each advance in science and technology
means an increase in the number and variety of jobs open to people
with technical training. A broad education in science and mathematics
can lead to a career in any field, as well as a better understanding
of the world.
Begin your study of algebra in the seventh and eighth grade. Take
advantage of the college preparatory courses your school offers. Be
sure to get good grades in subjects required for college admission.
Use the resources around you. Keep your eyes and ears open for
special science-related events and clubs. Join the public library.
Make arrangements with the local community college to take special
courses not offered at your high school-especially computer courses.
