Benefits of College Now
By: Whitney Bull
Everyone has personal aspirations and goals that they wish to pursue. For an individual
such as myself, currently in my third year of high school, I have the desire to go
to college. As an inquisitive teenager, I yearn to obtain knowledge about things that
interest me such as college. When I heard about the College Now SD 10 class from a
peer, I jumped at the opportunity as I knew it would assist me in pursuing my goal
of attending college in several ways.
Promoting from high school to college is a very drastic transition and it brings about
different adaptations and habits that one needs to acquire in order to undergo this
change successfully. When I was informed that the class "prepares you for college",
I knew that the advice I needed would be given to me. The skills such as time management
and note-taking are introduced and are effective in college life as well as high school.
It was beneficial for me to have the minor questions and uncertainties answered that
I needed to be informed about. Topics like financial aid, majors, careers and self-evaluation
were really useful and allowed me to realize that there is a lot more to college than
I thought, but thanks to College Now I am one step ahead of the game.
The class is very helpful in the financial aspect because as opposed to being obligated
to pay a few of about $300 in college, the course is offered free in high school.
It is also a known fact that teenagers demand to be treated in the respective manner
as young adults as opposed to simple high school kids. This class is a good experience
in the shoes of an actual high school student. It is obvious that this course is positive,
beneficial and fun.
