Change forces us to grow; it’s what keeps us
developing as people. Change is often very difficult to deal with, even if the
changes in life are for the better. Some
people hate change because it can represent the end of some things, which can
trigger all types of emotions. On the
other hand you have those who accept change very well. They may believe it
could be a new start and new potential to grab a hold to, like me. Whether it’s a good or bad change, change
always presents huge adjustments in our lives.
After graduating high school, going away to college
is a big change. Your relationships with
people become harder to keep and friends start to disappear. In high school everything was a breeze
compared to college. In high school you
would always be on a timely schedule and would actually have to show up to
class. Once out of high school
everything you did was up to you, like making sure you would wake up and get to
class on time. In high school you could
get one on one time with the teacher because it would only be 25 to 30 students
in a class, but in college there could be anywhere from 50 to 200 students.
The change from high school to
college is hard, but not impossible.
It’s apart of growing up and started a successful life of your own.
A few notes, and they'll sound a lot like the ones I left on your last blog. *Show* us what high school was like day-to-day. Every student's high school vs. college experience will be different, and so to *see* your experiences will allow us to understand that you've really been through a change. Use of "for example," or "such as" are good code words to help you in that endeavor.
ReplyDeleteThere is a significant difference between high school and college. In high school your parents are making sure that you wake up and go to school. Also, your teachers are pushing you more and are making contact with your parents to keep them up on your progress or lack there of. In college, it is assumed that you are mature enough to do the things you need to do to finish. There is no who is going to baby sit you and push you. It is up to you, and only you, to be successful.
ReplyDeleteReading this brought back memories to myself of when I was in High School. I had some great and not so great times. Once I was out of HIgh School I stopped all communication with my friends but I didn't care because I knew I stopped talking to them for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I was ready for that big change to move out of my parents house and be on my own thats partially the reason why I am here at NOVA but its for the best because I have met some great professor and even have made some really awesome new friends. It is alot of responsibility being out of HIgh School, but we have to go through that sometime through our life right?
