Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Cameron
cherry
and
welcome
back
to
teen
talk.
This
is
a
show
for
students,
five
students
and
today
we're
going
to
be
talking
to
some
acps
graduates
about
that
very
big
thing.
That
is
right
around
the
corner.
You
guessed
it
college
applications
now,
I
promise
it's
not
as
scary
as
it
sounds,
and
we
have
some
really
awesome.
People
joining
us
today
to
answer
some
commonly
asked
questions
and
talk
about
the
different
paths
they
took
after
graduating.
A
Today,
I'm
joined
in
Studio
by
Connor
Curran,
a
2021
graduate
from
the
IB
program
at
Old,
Mill
High,
School
Connor,
is
in
his
second
year
at
Anne
Arundel
Community
College
majoring
in
secondary
Spanish
education,
I've
known
Connor,
since
I
was
in
Middle
School
he's
a
super
awesome
guy
and
I'm
so
happy
to
have
you
in
the
studio
today
Connor.
How
are
you.
B
Chose
annual
community
college
because
well
to
be
honest
at
first,
it
was
not
my
first
choice
breaking
news,
but
after
decided
deciding
not
to
go
to
a
four-year
University
I
started
looking
at
the
institutions
like
community
colleges,
specifically
in
rural
community
colleges,
because
it's
local
quality
education,
I've
loved,
every
single
one
of
my
professors.
My
class
sizes
are
actually
smarter
than
what
I
had
at
Old
Mill
and
I
love
every
second
of
it.
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
that
you
can
take
your
classes
online,
asynchronous
in
person.
A
B
B
Done
this
a
long
time,
but
then
I
started
getting
involved
with
the
student
government
Association,
which
I'm
the
Executive
Vice
President
of
now
and
it's
different
type
of
student
government.
We
deal
with
a
lot
of
Club
budgets
and
stuff
and
that
experience
has
been
really
interesting
to
see
the
students
get
involved
and
in
the
classroom,
I've
taken
pretty
much
every
single
type
of
class,
so
asynchronous
I've
done
it
in
person
online
sync
and
it's
just
every
single
one
has
unique
characteristics
that
are
really
cool.
A
B
So
dealing
with
that
challenge
has
been
interesting.
I
also
serve
as
a
student
trustee,
On
The
Board
of
Trustees
for
annual
community
college.
It's
kind
of
like
your
student
member
of
the
Board
of
Education
here
I
also
have
full
voting
rights,
so
that's
really
exciting
and
really
cool
being
able
to
make
those
decisions
at
the
school
level.
On
behalf
of
my
peers
that.
B
B
So
there's
two
classes
in
particular
that
I
really
like
and
I
stick
with
the
same
Professor
if
I
can,
if
they
teach
the
next
one,
so
Dr
Kansas
Hill
with
the
when
the
English
Department
that
I've
spoken,
that
I've
stayed
with
because
of
her
exciting
nature.
She
brings
real
world
examples
and
stuff
like
that,
also
doctor
or
not
not
doctor
yet,
but
she's
working
on
her
doctoral
degree,
Professor
Jody
Hogan
of
the
Spanish
Department,
who
actually
wasn't
a
CPS
teacher
here
for
a
long
time.
B
Oh
wow,
but
she's
kept
classes
really
exciting
I'm
taking
a
Spanish
civilization
class
taking
conversation
film
and
it's
just
been
really
exciting.
Those
professors
have
really
just
made
an
impact
and
I,
like
you
know,
stay
with
them
and
because
the
less
you
gotta
change
and
just
keeping
with
Norms
is
good.
A
B
To
offer
yes
so
I
chose
secondary
Spanish
education
because
I
want
to
be
a
Spanish
teacher.
I
want
to
come
back
here
and
teach
in
our
own
County,
Public,
Schools
and
I
did
some
camps
a
couple
summers
ago
before
covid
and
I
just
fell
in
love
with
it.
Just
teaching
the
kids,
Spanish
and
stuff,
like
that,
with
our
other
High
School
language
teachers,
and
just
that
ability
to
learn
another
language
to
open
you
up
to
a
whole
new
culture
and
just
more
opportunities.
It's
just
I,
just
love.
It.
A
B
B
You've
heard
it
here
first,
but
I
really
enjoy
going
and
seeing
the
new
infrastructure
that
we
have
at
a
college
and
seeing
all
that
and
just
connecting
with
students,
I
mean
seeing
where
they
can
wear
services
that
we
don't
offer
just
making
sure
that
they're
heard
and
stuff
like
that.
I
just
enjoy
just
listening
to
what
the
concerns
and
needs
are.
A
So
the
college
has
been
around
for
quite
a
while
right.
Would
you
say
that
in
your
time
at
the
college,
things
are
constantly
changing
and
expanding
and
moving,
and
especially
after
covet
in
a
post-covered
world?
Do
you
think
students
coming
in
would
have
that
flexibility
of
like
being
on
a
campus
where
things
are
changing
and
the
admin
is
listening
to
them
so.
B
We've
had
an
incredible
amount
of
student
input
within
the
processes
of
of
what's
going
on,
for
example,
our
graduation.
We
were
going
to
do
another
car
management.
Usually
they
go
into
the
parking
lot
at
our
Arnold
campus
and
and
do
diplomas.
But
we
said
you
know
it's
it's
time
to
be
back
in
person
and
we
returned
back
at
Maryland
Live
same
place
where
you
have
your
graduation,
yes
and
we
we
did
that
so
that's
kind
of
an
example
of
that
so
yeah
so.
A
B
Course
so
we
have
three
campuses:
we
have
the
Arnold
Campus
located
right
off
of
Ritchie
Highway
and
College
Parkway.
We
have
our
Glen
Burnie
Town
Center
location,
located
in
the
heart
of
Glen
Burnie,
and
we
also
have
our
Arundel
Mills
location,
which
is
located
right
outside
the
Arundel
Mills
Mall
Complex.
B
Those
facilities
are
really
important
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
expand
the
amount
of
students,
because
Arnold
obviously
is
kind
of
a
pain
to
get
to
for
some
students,
so
just
helping
them
where
we
can
do
that
and
to
have
more
access
to
education.
I
mean
not.
Everyone
has
internet
access
and
stuff
like
that,
so
they
might
not
be
able
to
take
a
online
class,
but
just
expanding
that
access
is
something
that's
really
important
to
us.
That's.
B
I'll
name
an
office.
The
office
of
student
engagement
is
my
favorite
thing
about
nrel
Community,
College
they're
such
a
fun
bunch
I
spend
we
have
a
office
space
back
there,
where
our
Student
Government
Association
kind
of
lives,
and
it's
just
an
open
space
for
all
and
our
own
community
college
students
and
they're
just
so
helpful
with
anything
that
we
need
and
just
trying
to
plan
Student
Activities
just
trying
to
get
people
engaged
because,
as
a
commuter
school,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
grow.
B
A
A
E
A
B
I
would
absolutely
recommend
it.
I
mean
the
amount
of
money
that
you'll
save,
is
ridiculous.
I'm
entering
my
next
year,
debt
free
and
that's
huge.
We
see
this
problem
all
over
the
place
where
students
get
a
lot
of
debt,
so
this
option
is
a
way
to
get
a
quality
education
without
going
into
significant
debt.
B
By
the
time
you
exit
the
Community
College,
there's
a
lot
of
good
professors
and
good
programs
that
we
have
at
the
community
college
that
it's
just
it's
a
small
setting
which
I
think
a
lot
of
students
will
enjoy
with
some
of
our
class
sizes.
I
think
that's
something
that
will
positively
affect
a
lot
of
students.
A
Perfect,
that's
awesome.
Thank
you,
so
much
Connor
for
taking
the
time
to
join
me
in
the
studio
today
when
we
come
back
we'll
hear
from
some
students
who
are
very
familiar
with
the
college
application
process,
members
of
the
class
of
2022,
but
first,
let's
take
a
look
at
some
of
this
year's
homecoming
highlights.
A
A
Welcome
back
to
teen
talk,
I
hope
you
enjoyed
those
homecoming
highlights.
It
looks
like
everyone
had
a
blast
this
year,
I
know
I
sure
did
recently.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
virtually
with
four
members
of
the
class
of
2022.
students
who
were
applying
to
colleges
last
year.
Just
like
many
of
you,
I
wanted
to
talk
to
them
about
their
experience
with
the
application
process
and
how
they
chose
the
right
school
for
them.
Let's
take
a
look
at
what
they
had
to
say.
Hi.
E
So
I
applied
to
13
schools
and
I
did
that
so
that
way,
I
could
have
some
schools
that
I
knew
would
be
reach.
Schools
for
me,
have
some
schools
that
I
felt
comfortable.
Maybe
I
could
get
into
and
have
some
schools
as
safety
schools,
but
I
made
sure
ahead
of
time.
You
know
doing
some
research
about
that
school.
A
D
I'm,
the
youngest
of
four
kids
and
so
I
watched
all
my
siblings
kind
of
gain,
a
new
type
of
Independence
as
they
went
to
college
and
so
once
I,
actually
graduated
from
high
school
and
went
to
college
I
was
looking
to
see
if
that
independence
of
you
know
getting
to
control
what
you
study
getting
to
control
when
you
go
out,
you
know
not
having
to
ask
for
permission
for
parents
basically
getting
to
be
an
adult.
If
that
lived
up
to
all
those
expectations
and
I
could
say
it
definitely
did.
D
The
amount
of
Independence
I
have
now
is
almost
overwhelming,
and
it
kind
of
gives
me
a
glimpse
of
what
life
will
be
like
after
college
and
when
I'm,
completely
independent
and
so
I
like
it.
But
I
know
for
a
lot
of
my
other
classmates
in
college
can
be
kind
of
scary,
so
it's
nice
to
have
each
other
to
kind
of
depend
on
in
that
time.
Our.
F
Also,
if
you
plan
on
applying
to
private
schools,
100
I
recommend
completing
the
CSS
profile.
This
is
a
financial
aid
form
done
through
the
College
Board,
and
it
gives
your
school
more
information
which
could
potentially
give
you
more
scholarship.
Aid
I
did
the
FAFSA
and
I
recommend
that
everyone
does
the
FAFSA
and
the
CSS
profile
thanks.
A
G
That's
a
very
great
question
Cameron,
and
this
is
something
that
I
feel
like
a
lot
of.
My
peers
have
been
struggling
with,
meaning
that
they
have
yet
to
grasp
how
to
overcome
certain
challenges,
because
it's
still
a
fairly
new
environment
for
everyone.
So
for
me,
it's
that
I'm
finding
out
how
to
function
differently
from
what
I
am
used
to
and
what
I
call
my
normality
since
I
go
to
school
out
of
state.
G
A
E
It's
just
amazing
how
the
work
fun
balance
is
as
College
when
you
get
there.
It's
something
I
think
you
can
really
find
at
any
University
but
I
know
especially.
You
know,
big
state
schools
or
schools
that
have
a
lot
of
students
at
their
School.
You
find
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
to
do,
and
so
for
me
getting
to
go
to
college
as
much
as
it
is
about
the
next
level
of
Education.
E
G
So
it's
you,
those
are
the
two
words
it
is
you
you're,
it's
you
you
get
to
decide
your
sleep
schedule
you
get
to
decide
when
you
want
to
eat,
you
get
to
decide
your
classes
and
your
actual
academic
schedule.
You
get
to
decide
if
you
want
to
explore
your
surrounding
City
at
any
given
moment
or
time,
and
you
get
to
decide
if
the
course
of
your
future.
F
I
think
for
me
personally,
the
scariest
part
of
applying
to
schools
and
the
whole
process
really
is
kind
of
the
uncertainty.
College
applications
are
a
very
ambiguous
process.
It
could
very
well
happen
that
one
day,
a
college
admissions
counselor
who's.
Reading
your
application
had
a
bad
lunch,
and
that
was
the
reason
why
you
didn't
get
accepted.
That's
an
extreme
example,
but
it
just
goes
to
show
that
once
you
submit
your
applications,
please
don't
stress
everything
is
going
to
work
out
as
it
should.
F
A
D
It
was
my
dream
program
all
throughout
high
school,
and
it
allows
me
to
not
only
be
enrolled
at
Duke
University,
but
also
be
enrolled
at
the
University
of
North
Carolina
in
Chapel
Hill.
It
allows
me
to
get
degrees
from
both
go
to
school
at
both
to
study
abroad,
for
free
and
also
have
all
these
different
experiences
with
other
kids.
D
D
It
might
determine
the
friends
you
make
for
the
rest
of
your
lives
where
you
will
live
one
day.
What
jobs
you'll
have
access
to,
and
so
I
have
no
regrets
about
where
I
decide
to
go
to
school
and
I'm
loving
my
semester
so
far
and
I
could
only
hope
that
through
this
process,
you
get
to
be
as
happy
with
your
choice
as
I
am
right.
Now
it.
A
E
I
got
a
quick
story
for
me:
I
not
only
didn't
get
into
my
dream.
School
I
didn't
get
into
any
of
my
other
12
schools
that
I
applied
to
Penn
State
was
the
only
school
that
I
got
into
and
for
a
while.
You
know
me
and
my
family
and
my
friends
were
just
like
how
how
is
it
possible
after
everything
you
did
you
applied
to
safeties
you
applied
to
your.
You
know,
reach
schools.
How
is
this
the
only
one
you
get
into
and
I
was
crushed
by
it.
E
E
Well,
my
reach
School
actually
was,
and
the
reason
that
I
say
all
this
is
is
because
I
think
that
you
know
when
you're
18
years
old,
when
you're
17
years
old,
applying
to
these
universities,
you
think
you
know
exactly
what
it
is
that
you
want,
but
then
until
you
go
there
until
you
really
can
immerse
yourself
in
that
lifestyle.
That
you're
about
to
live
that
you're
about
to
embark
on
you
won't
actually
really
know
right.
I
I'll
be
honest.
My
dream
school
was
the
University
of
Michigan
I
went
and
visited
there.
E
I
thought
it
was
great
I
thought,
I'd,
love
it
and
then
I
went
to
Penn
State,
where
it
was
20
degrees.
Colder,
I
was
surrounded
by
all
my
Philadelphia
sports
fans
and
I
had
endless
opportunities
in
front
of
me
and
I
realized
that
that
Happy
Valley
in
this
middle
of
central
Pennsylvania
was
the
only
Valley
I
ever
wanted
to
live
in
for
these
next
four
years.
So
I
know
for
a
lot
of
you
you're
about
to
get
the
denied
from
your
dream
school.
Hopefully
you
don't.
E
D
E
A
F
Wasn't
really
something
that
I
thought
about
too
often
in
high
school
I
knew
that
I
wanted
to
pursue
a
four-year
degree,
but
I
just
hadn't
thought
much
about
where
I
would
go
and
so
I
applied
to
a
few
schools.
I
wanted
to
be
close
to
home
and
I
wanted
to
be
in
a
diverse
and
accepting
community
and
I
really
do
think
that
Hopkins
has
that
and
so
I'm
personally
very
happy
with
my
decision
to
go
to
Hopkins.
F
F
F
Everyone
that
is
in
a
college
that
I've
talked
to
so
far
more
or
less
seems
to
love
it
there,
and
that
just
goes
to
show
that
you
really
need
to
trust
the
process,
and
you
will
end
up
where
you're
meant
to
be
I
know
right
now
for
a
lot
of
students
who
might
be
thinking
about
attending
college
who
might
be
applying
even
right.
Now,
it's
really
really
stressful.
F
A
F
A
lot
of
stress
senior
year
is
that
over
the
summer,
I
searched
up
all
of
my
school
supplemental
essays,
I
Googled,
the
seven
eight
like
common
app
like
topics
that
don't
really
change
every
year
and
I
started
typing
up
my
essays,
creating
an
outline
of
what
I
wanted
to
do
then,
and
there
definitely
don't
feel
like
you
have
to
chug
out
like
six.
Seven,
eight
s's
by
July,
but
kind
of
think
about
applying,
maybe
before
the
school
year
starts,
because
you'll
find
that
things
tend
to
snowball
all
once
school
starts
and
college
applications
begin.
D
So
a
piece
of
advice
that
I
have
for
those
of
you
who
are
currently
applying
is
to
remember
that
college
is
a
start.
Not
an
ending
I
was
really
I'm,
gonna
be
quite
Frank.
I
was
very
College
obsessed
because
in
my
household
there's,
a
big
emphasis
on
academics
and
going
to
a
good
school,
and
so
you
know,
I
was
like
I'm
gonna
apply
to
Harvard
I'm
gonna
apply
to
Yale
I'm,
going
to
apply
to
Duke
and
then
I'm
going
to
get
in
and
then
once
I
did
all
those
things
I
was
like.
D
So
what's
next
and
I
don't
want
you
seniors
who
are
out
there?
Writing
those
essays
doing
those
interviews
to
be
so
so
stuck
in
the
getting
to
college
that
you
don't
think
about
what
you're
gonna
do
when
you
get
there
again,
it's
a
seed.
It's
what's
going
to
be
starting
the
rest
of
your
life,
your
adulthood,
your
Independence
and
so
I.
D
Think
it's
a
really
good
time
as
you
go
through
those
really
personal
supplements
and
those
statements
you
think
about
who
you
are,
what
your
values
are
and
who
you
want
to
become,
because
those
are
the
things
that
are
going
to
keep
you
grounded.
When
you
go
off
to
college,
the
world
is
way
bigger
than
Anne
Arundel,
County
I
know
it's
really
hard
to
believe,
but
it's
true,
and
so
you
don't
want
to
end
up
lost.
E
One
piece
of
advice,
I'd
offer,
and
it's
something
that
carried
me
through.
You
know
denied
letter
after
deny
letters
or
remembering
that
you've
done
everything
you
can
right
when
your
college
application
deadline
arrives
and
you've
turned
in
that
application.
You
need
to
look
at
that
and
be
like.
I
went
out
there
and
I
gave
it
my
best
and
I
did
what
I
could
and
now
what
happens
happens
and
the
reason
that
I
say
that
is
if
we
look
back
at
arusha's
example
of
had
the
bad
lunch.
E
Maybe
their
kid,
you
know
missed
the
school
bus
that
morning,
something
like
that
happens
where
that
advisor
is
just
in
a
bad
mood.
Reading
your
essay.
That
is
what
it
is,
and
that's
not
on
you.
So
when
you
go
through
this
process,
remember
that
it
is
most
important
that
you
just
remember
that
you've
done
everything
you
can
wake
up
every
single
day
and
say:
I
did
my
best
and
remember
that
that
is
more
important
than
anything
else.
The
number
of
colleges
you
get
into
is
not
representative
of
how
good
you
are
as
a
person.
G
You
are
going
to
arrive
where
you
are
ultimately
supposed
to
be.
There's
not
one
specific
way
to
do
college.
There's
not
one
specific
way
to
go
into
the
admissions
process.
There's
you
know
good
and
negative
consequences
with
everything
in
life.
So
I
want
you
to
really
keep
in
mind
that
college,
like
boomi
said,
is
not
the
end-all,
be-all
and
you're
going
to
want
to
be
open
to
a
lot
of
things.
Take
the
advice
of
your
peers.
Take
the
advice
of
the
adults
who
have
been
there.
Your
school
teachers,
your
administrators,
your
guidance
counselors.
A
Want
to
thank
all
of
the
graduates
who
joined
me
today.
I
hope
you
all
continue
to
crush
it
in
college.
Also,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
watching
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
remember
you
will
get
through
application
season.
I
promise
you
thank
you

much
