to understand what financial resources are available for when/if you choose to pursue further
education and/or training through an apprenticeship or a 2- or 4-year college or
technical/specialty college.
This section of your HSBP is required to ensure all students know what support is available and
how to access state and federal financial assistance after high school.
• FAFSA/WASFA opens October 1 of your senior year.
• October 8, 2021 counselors will be presenting Financial Aid information to seniors
• October 5, 2021 counselors will provide financial aid information at a junior/senior
parent night.
• October 12, 2021 will be a FAFSA/WASFA workshop.
For more information, please visit https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
or
https://readysetgrad.wa.gov/WASFAelig
By signing below, I indicate that I know which application I can use (FAFSA or WASFA) and how
to find out what information and materials are needed to complete the application.
Name: Date:
MY RESUME OR ACTIVITY LOG
Your HSBP must include a complete and current resume by the end of 12th Grade. A resume or
activity log summarizes who you are, including but not limited to, your experience, what you can
do, and your unique skills, talents, and abilities. You will usually need one if you are applying for
a job, an internship, or scholarship, and one may even be needed for a college application.
Complete the following activity log. If you already have a complete resume you may use
that instead. Please see the next page for an explanation of each category.

CREATING A RESUME OR ACTIVITY LOG
For a high school student, a good introductory level resume or activity log generally has five
parts:
•
Contact information: The top of your resume or activity log shows your contact
information. Make your name in a larger point size so it stands out. Your contact
information should include legal name, phone number (where you can be easily
reached), and a personal email address that’s “professional” – make a habit of checking
it!
• Objective: Briefly describe (2–3 sentences) why you want the job (or college acceptance
or scholarship), and what you can bring to the organization (why they should
hire/choose you).
o Not applying for a job right now? Write an objective for a job you want someday.
o Making an activity log for writing a personal statement for college/scholarship
applications? More details about your leadership roles, goals, or unique life
circumstances are needed.
• Skills and Strengths: Even if you have never held a paid job before, you do have skills,
abilities, and interests. When you write about your skills and strengths:
o Use short points, not sentences. (Ex: Delivered after school care for two younger
siblings)
o Use action words. (Ex: Led, organized, managed, designed, developed, delivered,
prepared, etc.)
o Use workplace “soft skills” to describe your strengths. (Ex: Clear communicator,
punctual, team builder, adaptable, problem-solver, possibility-creator, responsible,
reliable, self-starter, etc.)
o Use numbers and percentages to quantify your accomplishments. (Ex: Delivered
groceries to 200 elderly citizens during COVID-19 stay at home order)
o Include technical or computer skills. (Proficient with Microsoft Office and Adobe
Flash)
• Education: Note the name of your high school and date you expect to earn a high
school diploma. Include the names of classes that help build skills related to the job you
plan to apply for, especially Career and Technical Education (CTE), leadership and honors,
or college level classes. Consider including your grade point average if 3.0 or higher.
• Experience: List your paid and unpaid jobs, including name of company (if applicable)
and how long you worked there, and community services/volunteer time and activities;
especially any that show your leadership skills and/or dedication. Briefly describe what
you did. You can also list any awards or other recognitions you have received either in or
out of school.
