I don't know how you feel about training for standarized tests, but if either of the girls is willing to put the work in before they take the PSAT, getting a good score on the PSAT can qualify you for National Merit, and a number of state universities offer good scholarships for National Merit finalists. Bowling Green State University (for example) offers full rides (tuition and room and board) for National Merit finalists. That's how I paid for college.
Some of my goals: Pay off credit cards!!! (this has been made extra difficult by the $2,000 I've needed to pay in car repairs and lots of moving costs.)
Unpack boxes
Lose 10-15lbs that I put on over the past year. This should be accomplished by exercising and eating better, as I put on the weight by ceasing to exercise and eat right.
Get better at managing my school work. I've gotten worse and worse about procrastinating.
