Why this blog?

As a teacher and college counselor at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, I frequently email my students advising them to take some action or another. As my students are busy and likely to tune me out if I write to them too frequently, I strive to keep my messages to "mission-critical" activities. I hope to use this weblog as a place to share potentially interesting and helpful ideas beyond the everyday tasks preparing for or searching for the right college.
