High school students should be aware of online activity that may affect their future chances of college admission.
Dear high school student
I wrote this letter because I wanted to warn young people today who will grow into adults in the future. I would like you to know and realize that every action, regardless of intention or inattentive. It might be good or bad that will affect you in the future.
The fact that you post everything you think you see without thought. Whether on Facebook, Instagram or google drive. Everything is online. Everything spreads quickly and stays forever. Some things, if you want to change, may not be able to change as you wish. Begs you very much to ponder like you think twice or overnight.
In my country, we have the quote about it that when you are...

Dear, College Admission Staff nationwide:
I am writing this letter to respectfully give a constructive criticism to every person in charge of admitting a student into any of the colleges nationwide. First of all, I would like to say that you have decision in your hands which could change many people's lives. So, it depends on you how destructive or constructive would be this decision. I think that "extremism" is something that is taking part in all of these decisions, which is unfair, non-democratic and comes far apart from the common good of the principles of teaching.
As we see on several social medias, newspapers, magazines, news channels, etc these college admission's scandals about denial or rescinded admissions are happening and increasing in recent years. For example, I...

My name Dustin, I am student in Grossmont College. I wrote this letter to share with everyone in high school. I have a friend whose always on social network. He told about school and hoe he was doing every day but he never studied in school and do homework. Then he can’t pass in high school to come college. If you want to go to college, u need to limit time to play with social network and talk about yourself. You need to get your time on social network to study and do homework or you can volunteer from every where if they need your help:” example: hospital, library…..”. It will be good for you in the future when u come to college or university. It will be helpful for u when apply to good university school because when u apply for school.

Dear High School Students,
As we all agree, technology is a significant part of our lives and makes a big impact to our lifestyle. We are more connected than ever before; with a click of a button we can start chatting with a friend across the world, get the latest news, or post something. However; with every advancement comes its drawbacks. Our online presence leaves footprints that can be traced easily. If we join an online group, comment in any website or post something online it may have negative consequences. I am writing this letter to bring awareness to this generation that our online activity is tracible and our online actions may have consequences.
In the modern digital world people post or upload millions of different information on millions of different subjects. So, it is...

Dear Mr. President of Grossmont college
I'm writing this letter as a student of GC to request something really important for our heath. First of all I am happy to be a part of the community and second I think GC is one of the best colleges in San Diego county.
The first semester was interesting to discover how it works about schedule, class, professors, classmates, studies exc.. but then when I start to be a veteran I understood that something was missing, something very important for our heath. It was " healthy food" in my opinion I really don't understand why GC in one hand it is ahead regarding the study programs but on the other hand it loses points regarding food for students, as though food for students is less important then programs studies.
I believe that food at college...

Dear High School Students;
I'm respectfully writing you this letter to please be aware of your online activities because it might affect your college admission. If you are a high school student, there is a chance for you to have an active presence on social media. People of all age groups mostly use Facebook for their online communications, but you may also use other social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, Snap Chat, or other social networks to communicate with your family, friends and represent yourself in these social media. In your experience with using social media, you may already have an idea about what is the difference between an appropriate online post and inappropriate online post. However, it’s always a good idea to think well before you post something online. You should...

An Open Letter To High School Students
Dear students,
I'm writing to open your minds about social media and show you a good way to use it. We have to be careful about posting something on the internet and asking ourselves some questions, for example: How will this posting affect our lives? Who will read or watch?
We have freedom to express our feelings and opinion for any things, but we have to be careful
Sometimes bad things can happen as a result of what was posting. I read a article about Kyle Kashuv, 18, survivor of shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, he had made online some racist and vituperative comments two years before at his application at Harvard. Because of the comments Kashuv was not accepted to study at Harvard.
Sudents if you...

Dear parents of Highschool students,
I am writing this letter expressing all my love and respect to hard workers parents that sometimes cannot pay all the attention that they wish can to their kids. As college student I know that everything that I do affects my life, and everything that I post on social media can be critical in my future as student. Nowadays with the easy access to internet, our children can be an easy target to society, and little by little they are losing their innocence. It is not a surprise to find 14 years high school students posting explicit pictures on their social pages, seeing kids making racists comments, or even worse, when kids make sexual comments on Facebook. Our kids are expose to many things on internet, with an easy click their...

An Open Letter for Parents of High School Students
Dear Parents of High School Students:
Hello, I’m the second semester student at Grossmont College. Actually, I just came to the United States after graduation from high school in Afghanistan, and I have been in the U.S. for three years. When I start going to college I realized that there are lots of responsibilities that the parents of high school students should pay attention during their children are in the high school and they have plan to go to the college after they finish high school. For example, preparing the right classroom, help them to focus on their lessons to get good grade because having good grades is really important for high school students and help them for enter to the colleges without any assessment test. One of...

An open letter to parents of high school children.
I am writing this letter to make you more aware about what your child could be doing on the internet. I am also writing to encourage you to take action by watching and protecting your kids activity online because of how it could hurt your kids chance of going to college.
I am a mother of 4, so I care a lot about the safety and success of my children. Social media is always changing these days and it's so hard to keep up. That’s why I always try to talk to my kids and stay updated with what they do online. Especially with my 2 high school kids. If i keep an honest relationship with them that is also healthy, then it is easier to keep them safe and presentable for colleges looking at them.
Now you might think this is too much to...
