I love college. I really do, I’m not kidding. I think learning from other people is the most amazing thing. I love the environment and the satisfaction of getting a good grade after I’ve spent a lot of time studying and preparing. I love everything from failing test to knowledge breakthroughs (you know those moments where you get a wave of clarity? ).
But I didn’t always feel this passionate about school.
There was actually a point in my life that I actually despised school and thought it was only formed as a penalty. We all as humans have to crawl before we walk. It takes going through academic experiences before college to realize it’s importance in personal and professional growth. I started school when I was 4 because my birthday falls in October, and as far as I can remember I really hated school. It was wonderful to be home all day playing, watching TV and then one day, out of no where my mom wakes me up and leaves me at a big building that I have never seen before with a bunch of kids that want me to share my toys. I thought that was terrible.
How could anyone want to share their toys? Despite my problem with sharing in general I made it ok through elementary. Junior High School was sort of the same. I made good enough grades to get me through High School but never put any real effort and I never understood the point of it. Then I entered college. At first I was a bit apprehensive; so far I hadn’t held a good opinion about school so I thought, “This is really going to be hard.” My first two of weeks were terrible. I had a hard time adjusting.
The Homework on The Difference Between High School And College
Most students who are about to graduate from high school often wonder what college is like. When they finally reach college, most of them realize that there are some major differences between their college lives and their previous high school lives. First of all, in college, you pick your classes according to what you want to major in. In high school, you can pick your elective classes, but most ...
The work I was being given was too hard for me or at least that’s what I was blaming for my lack of progress. Then I had a big turn of events. I had College algebra Mondays and we were having a test. Out of no where I decide “Why don’t I try looking my notes over since I don’t understand any of this?” . I did just that then lo and behold, I finally passed my first math test ever.
I was so proud of myself and it was then I realized that I can do well in school. My whole view changed. I started to look at my teachers in a different light. They were real people just spreading the knowledge they ” ve obtained with hard work, and if I could learn what they hold that is amazing.
In conclusion, I think I am living proof that feelings can change. People often have many misconceptions of things that they do not fully comprehend. I feel that once you are ready to think outside the box and experience what you do not understand, the best has yet to come. Taking risks can be terrifying, but taking calculated risks may just be worth it..
