College: a time to redeem yourself?
I really changed a lot! In my high school years, to be honest, I wasn’t a really good student. When I was in high school I kind of took classes as a joke. I think it probably was because in high school there is always someone that ends up helping you or doing things for you and also your parents are extremely involved in everything; you’re not doing things entirely on your own! Now that I’m here things have changed radically. I have learned to manage my time and classes much more seriously. College definitely exposes you to a much more independent environment and almost forces you to take a more active role in your education. I am now a really good student (yep, straight A’s!) because I have changed my way of thinking and now I’m more aware that I’m responsible for my future!! And that what I’m doing now is the foundation for it. I really think that College gives you a great opportunity to redeem yourself, take a new point of view, and start building your future.
