As early as now, my cousin is in first year high school and she is reading up on courses to take in college and different colleges and universities that she is planning to attend.  She is updating herself with Community College Reviews.  She has always been like that, always planning her future.  She even plans her clothes on a day to day basis.  I just love that about her.  How she seems to control her future and she even has a contingency plan.  Her parents are so proud of her and they are not really worried at all about her future.
