Seven Excuses Not to Go to College
Think college is for other kids, and not for you？ Wrong. Don't give up on college before you take a good look at it.
One. "1 can't go to college -- nobody in my family has ever gone."
In every family, someone has to be first. Why not you？ True, being first can be hard. On the other hand, being first is likely to be a source of pride, for you and for your family.
Two. "I've been in school for 12 years. That's enough! I just want a good job."
Give college a chance. It's not like high school or junior high. For one thing, in college you pick a major -- a subject area that you want to learn about. As for that good job -- the best jobs and the best salaries go to college grads.
Three. "1 can't go to college because I can't afford it."
Most students get financial aid to help pay for college, and most aid is based on need. This means that the less money you have, the more aid you might get.
Four. "1 can't go because I don't know how to apply or where I want to go."
Tell your high school counselors you want to go to college fairs, where colleges introduce themselves to students. Ask them how to write to schools for information. Try to visit colleges that interest you. Keepat it. After a while, you'll get a feel for differences among colleges, and start to know what you want.
Five. "I can't go to college -- I don't know what I want to do with my life."
Join the crowd. Thousands of college freshmen haven't decided on a major or on a career. That's how college helps. It exposes you to all sorts of subjects you've never heard of before. College is a great place to learn more about careers you'll love for life.
Six. "I can't go to college, because I just won't fit in."
Not so. Most colleges have students from many backgrounds. Homesick？ Need a hand？ Look for people with your interests or your background in the African-American club, on the soccer field, or in a Korean study group. Remember, college is a great place to meet new kinds of people with different lifestyles. And the more people you understand and feel comfortable with, the better prepared you'll be for the world after college.
Seven. "College is too hard for me."
Not you, too! Most students worry about being good enough for college, so you're not alone. One idea: In high school, don't just study -- learn how to study. Most good students have strategies for studying. Once you learn how to study, chances are you'll do fine. Still need help？ Professors are really helpful, and so are tutors.
When you are considering colleges, you usually have already studied for______.

Which Vitamin Boosts Brain Power？
Vitamin E has been touted for its anti-aging and anti-cancer benefits because, as an antioxidant, it counters the destructive action of molecules called free radicals. Now a study has shown vitamin E may also help the memory loss and impaired thinking that occurs in the elderly.
Researchers at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging in Chicago conducted a three-year study involving nearly 3,000 people older than 65 to investigate the cognitive effects of vitamin E in food and supplements.
By comparing the average scores of four different tests of memory and perception, the researchers were able to track change in cognitive function with age. The participants also completed dietary questionnaires periodically, which enabled the researchers to determine their vitamin E intake.
The study found that the higher the intake of total vitamin E, the less change there was in the people's average test scores each year. And those men and women who consumed the most vitamin E had a 36 percent lower rate of decline in their average test scores than those who consumed the least vitamin E. Other antioxidants, such as vitamin A, carotene and vitamin C, had little effect on the results.
Those who took supplements but got little vitamin E from food appeared to have the same protective benefit from the vitamin as those who consumed high amounts of E in their diets, says Martha Clare Morris, an assistant professor at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center. Several clinical trials are underway to compare protection from cognitive decline in people taking a supplement or a placebo, she says. In this study, the majority who took a supplement reported taking 400 IU a day.
