The ADD Student
The general belief amongst most teachers and guidance counselors is that students with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and other similar conditions will NOT be going to college. By the time they are finishing high school, these students (and their parents) are usually exhausted. But at the same time, these kids are surrounded by their classmates who are continuing their educations and are also caught up in the belief that “I am going to college!”

The Disengaged Student
Some students struggle with a number of issues that have nothing, usually, to do with their academic ability. They may feel that their peers don’t value them, they may have interests that are unusual, or they may just feel like they don’t fit in. This can lead a student to become disengaged, truant or even wanting to drop out of school altogether.
