The Difference between High School and College

I remember back in High School, every day is the same routine, same class throughout the school year.  In college class are separated into two sections: (1) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, (2) Tuesday and Thursday.  On standard or average length of class, Mon, Wed, and Fri class are usually fifty minutes long and Tues and Thurs class are about hour and fifteen minutes.  Instant going the same class every day, the class will be every other day.  One common about High School and College grade are count.  In High School, the grade count toward the attending College and in College, the grade count toward your future career.

            High School and College are still two different worlds.  High School like you are not adult and everything will have to deal with either your parents or guidance.  In High School, it is mandatory to attend and free unless it’s a private school.  Everything were arranged and prepared for you in order for you to graduate in the amount of times.  Parents or guidance will be involved in order for teacher to understand about their students and teach them in a way they will understand.  Everything must be approved by parents or guidance in order for student to participate in extracurricular activities either during or after school.

            While we in College, we no longer a teen, we can make our decision either to go college or not to go.  Only our families and friends will concern rather we decide to go or not to go college.  I remembered, my professor always say, “You no longer kid, you are adult and it is your choice to learn and pass my class.”  I guess as an adult, we must learn to manage our time and take responsibility to our action.  In College it’s no longer mandatory but voluntary to go and we must find a way to financially support ourselves. We can set or arrange our class schedule according to our fitment and either going on a fast pace or slow pace are all up to individual decision.

            When talking school, I do miss my High School time.  Everything was well prepared by our counselor and our teachers.  But on the other hands, in College, we still had our counselor whom is helping giving advices and checking our progress status.  Just similar to High School, our counselor will answer any questions toward our future plan and help us to prepare the needs.  There is a lot difference between High School and College but all its matter is the same attitude we had in High School will be the major key factor to our success.
