Your Thanksgiving Break Challenge 

Thanksgiving break challenge for future texans.

Thanksgiving break means a little time away from school, good food, family time, and hopefully a chance to catch your breath before the end of the semester. AND if you’re planning to become a Texan, it’s also a great opportunity to check a few things off your college to-do list! 

Use your time at home to tackle a few next steps, ask your family questions, and get one step closer to starting your college journey at Tarleton State. We’ve put together a Thanksgiving Break Challenge to help you keep track of your progress. Every task earns points, and the more you complete, the more prepared you’ll be for what’s next. 

Ready to see how many points you can earn?
