Well, my name’s Martin. I’m ecstatic that REACH is allowing the students to actively contribute to the site. A REACH network will foster connections and create a sense of community that will undoubtedly help college-bound students. My blog will have random posts, ranging from my experiences, the college process and the occasional mind-dumps pertaining to school, college, education and life. I hope you guys enjoy the site; feel free to ask questions. My high school career doesn’t have much time left, just letters from universities and some AP tests. You guys are the future!!!
