Learning is a source of hope for a better future. It requires hard work and sacrifice which can be even more difficult in challenging times.

I feel like high school really prepared me for college because in my freshman and sophomore year of high school I didn’t plan on going to college but some teachers helped me realize I should go to succeed. I faced with things my sophomore year in high school and it caused me to not focus in school and to not do any work but my parents and sister helped me get back on track. I will create positive academic habits for myself by really practicing on studying and focusing in important things.
I agree, highschool did play a huge part in preparing me for college.
I will create positive academic habits for myself by working on my time management skills
High school has definitely helped me feel prepared for college as my school offered College Now classes as a way for us to understand how classes are going to be. With these opportunities, I’m able to prepare myself with the length and work of each class. I plan to create a positive academic habits for myself by planning out when I’m going to study and for how long.
