College Now
By: Leonard Croft
Choosing College Now was not a hard decision for me because I knew that I wanted to
gain as many college credits as possible. Just being involved in a college class would
help better my understanding of college in the long run. College Now was just a chance
to get a step up on the experience and knowledge of how college operates.
Taking College Now obviously had great benefits to it or else I wouldn't be coming
to this class every Wednesday. Many of my friends ask me how is that I can stand to
come to this class every Wednesday and stay at school for an extra two hours. Well,
I tell them that it is hard to come to this class and stay for an extra two hours
but I made a commitment to myself to follow this through. College Now allows me to
receive three college credits, which I learned, have to be paid for in college. So
I'm extremely happy that I get the chance to earn three credits without paying anything.
Being in the classroom has allowed me to gain so much information that I never knew
before which is very beneficial. Getting the feel for how the classes will be run
in college is another important factor that I'm able to receive from being in this
class. Reading books and going on the Internet to get information about college is
one thing, but actually being in a college class gives you a totally different knowledge
base. Being able to just get up and go to the bathroom quietly was something new for
me.
I'm so used to asking the teacher for permission to go to the bathroom that I never
realized that you don't have to ask the professor's permission to go to the bathroom.
It might seem like a little thing to other people but it's important to me because
this is something you can't find out reading a book or going online. If I were to
ask the professor permission to go to the bathroom in college I would probably be
embarrassed. This is just one little piece of knowledge that I picked up while attending
the College Now class.
Personally, I believe that the College Now program can be nothing but beneficial to
everyone who takes it. Being in that class may seem hard to do and it is hard to do,
but the reward for going every week is so incredible. |
