Do you post photos to facebook? Do you tweet? Do you always think before you post or tweet or sometimes do things to be funny or popular? If you are in high school it may be time to investigate your online self - before the college admission officers do!
If you think items you post on the internet are private in any way - you are wrong! Your online self is something that others can view whether you are applying for a job, a scholarship or college admission. The wrong tweet or racy photo (remember the drinking age) can take you out of the running for something important for the rest of your life.
What to do? Do online and investigate yourself! Find every photo, post or tweet and think of how a middle aged college admission counselor or boss would view it. If anything is questionable get rid of it!
Social media is a great equalizer in good ways and bad. Sharing your life with others keeps you connected. Just remember - you may be sharing with more people than you know.
