I admit it. I am hooked on Twitter. The following is an exchange that has occured more than once between my husband and me when I am riding with him in the car, and he glances over to see me furiously typing on the tiny keys of my phone:
Husband: Who are you texting?
Me: No one. I'm tweeting.
Husband: Well, quit it and talk to me instead.
Me (looking sheepish): Sorry...
Okay... admittedly, I need to do a better job of balancing my personal life with social media conversations. Point taken. But I have found Twitter to be a great educational resource, which is partly why I have become so fascinated with it. For example, I recently tweeted Monica L. Matthews, who tweets from her site called @AidScholarship. I asked her about scholarships that might still be available this late in the senior year cycle for college-bound students. How can students and parents still find these sources?
@AidScholarship tweeted, "Make sure they apply for ALL local scholarships, those R due in the spring. Sign up for Fastweb, Cappex & StudentScholarshipSearch." In a separate tweet she added, "Keep applying for as many scholarships as possible."
This process takes some time and effort, but could be well worth it!
And if any of you are on Twitter, follow me @KarenAFull.
