Advice from college and career coach Carol Carter:School is an opportunity to get a great education, but it is also a chance to learn about yourself, your friends, and how the world works. Take the time to develop your emotional intelligence. This involves the ability to understand your emotions and identify your strengths and weaknesses, along with the skills to work well with others, solve problems, make decisions, and participate on teams.
