07 Brush Your Typing -- Learn To Type Correctly
If you don't already know how, get a handle on typing. Being able to type fast is not enough. You have to do it accurately. This helps to keep you up to speed with your classmates and better prepares you for college.
You can take a typing class at your high school, as an elective, to really hone your skills. The old "hunt and peck" method may have worked for you until now, but it certainly won't work for you if you plan to go on to college.
With term papers, essays and applications to fill out, you'll need to have a good typing speed to keep up with the workload.
Remember that practice makes perfect.
Don't worry if you're not flying through page after page right away. After a few months of diligent practicing you'll be a pro, and ready to tackle anything with a word processor.
