What inspiration or what final words can you say to families who are thinking, should I do this alone or does it make sense and would it be helpful to hire CollegeReady? What would you say, Arif?
I think the biggest piece of advice I would give is just like not to overthink it and just start early. Like, as I was saying, I wish I had started earlier. There's a lot of resources that CollegeReady has and they're all pretty like unlimited. So it's like the earlier you start, the more meetings you can get in with your advisor, the more you learn, the more services you get. It's just like, it's opportunities that you can just open the website and it's there for you. Like, they're giving you these opportunities that otherwise would take a lot more time and effort out of work for parents and, you know, your academics. And it's just, it's helped lighten the load a lot, allowed me to focus on school while also writing my college applications and getting help.
