Class of 2014: Do NOT throw your notes/binders away after this year!

<p>This may seem like a silly thing to hear, but as a senior, I've been asked by a few schools with scholarship programs to send graded papers that I've written (including teacher comments)</p>

<p>I never expected something like that, but luckily I saved my work from previous years (ironically, I had contemplated throwing everything away at the beginning of the year. I don't like to hoard stuff)</p>

<p>Also, it's nice to look back on your old papers and notes :)</p>

<p>A binder of all your work and projects from the entire year complied by subject also makes an amazing present for younger siblings/friends. I gave one to a close friend this year for her birthday and she said it was probably the best present she had ever gotten! :)</p>
