Bring him back again and again.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cGlad my son came too.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cChris was engaging and very informative.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cVery helpful. The presenter was knowledgeable, humorous and helpful.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThank you for offering this presentation. The information was useful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Best advice for the college search<\/p>\n<p>Socrates was the wisest man in Athens because he was aware of how little he actually knew. In other words, he understood that despite all of his knowledge, there was so much more that he didn\u2019t know, hadn\u2019t experienced, and therefore couldn\u2019t possibly understand.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States alone. Learn about the ones you haven\u2019t heard of, along with the ones you have, and you\u2019ll have a much deeper appreciation of your options. You will be better positioned during the application process and will have more confidence when it comes time to select the college you\u2019re going to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m.,\u00a0 students in grades 9 and 10 and their parents\/guardians can begin&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[48574,43998,153,155,154],"class_list":["post-143032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bchs-archive","tag-bchs-news","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
