You pay for what you don’t know. Check this blog for college prep advice.
I’m feeling a fresh, new angle forming here at Affrodite’s Adventures. The subject of education, particularly as it pertains to the African American community. Yesterday’s post about the fellowship funds available for a Master of Arts in Management from Wake Forest University was well received. Education is something I’m also passionate about as someone who is naturally curious.
During a recent visit with one of my college friends that now lives in LA, he made the statement “you pay for what you don’t know.” I know that’s not a new concept, but it really resonated with me because it perfectly sums up the value of education.
It’s never too late to start or restart an education. There are so many resources out there. I hope to continue to share them with you as I learn of them.
In the meantime, check out the blog:
PLANNING AND PREPARING FOR COLLEGE
In our communication, the blog author shared that:
The blog has over 200 posting in scholarships, internships, fellowships, and summer programs. The blog is a college preparation infrastructure and provides information to high school students, parents, undergraduate and graduate students.
I took the following excerpt from the blog header on the actual site:
To prepare students and their parents for college success in areas of academic readiness, community service, internships, summer programs, etc. The blog is to be used as a preparation infrastructure on various areas of college topics. The audience is high school students, parents, under-graduates and graduates students.
The first couple of posts have a error with the date, but I found the content to be pretty useful at first glance.
Take a look and come back here to let me know if you found it helpful.
If you leave a comment there, make sure to say that Affrodite sent you. 😉

Since this name of this post was inspired by my college friend, Jeff, I wanted to also take a moment to share some information about his pursuits as a successful entrepreneur.
Do you live in the Los Angeles region? Need some help finding the right pieces of artwork for your home or office decor?
Finding the right pieces of artwork for your home can be very frustrating if it’s not your forte or if you don’t have the time. My buddy Jeff has a natural knack for this and runs an art consulting business. He will come to your home, help you select artwork along with the appropriate layout, order it, and deliver it to your doorstep. I would use his services myself if I lived in Los Angeles.
If you’re interested in Jeff’s art consulting services then let me know through my CONTACT page.
In his spare time (I say that and chuckle…Us self employed folks know what that really means), he is also a realtor. You may use the same CONTACT page to let me know if you would like to be connected with Jeff for his home real estate services.
