Past & Present

Knowledge is the one thing no one can take from you. Because once you have it, it’s forever. I am studying business in order to open my own business and further my career options. I haven’t decided what kind of business I want to open up just yet, but I do know I want to go beyond expectations while fitting my bubbly personality. I want to learn college level skills so I can go beyond what I learned in high school. I am in a writing class to build my skills for English 101 in order to transfer to a university, and obtaining my own business is important to me, because I want something to call my own, and eventually help family, friends, and charities.

Since being in college, I have made good decisions and made better choices than before. Since college I have been more responsible then I was in high school. I do my homework on time, I get a tutor when needed, and I actually ask for help from teachers. When you are in college you have deadlines and no late work is accepted and you have to be well organized, as to when you are in high school you don't have so much discipline or deadlines and most teachers do accept late work.

English has never been my best subject, and it is still not but it’s definitely better in college. My first thought when I walked in the classroom was: “I hope I have a good teacher and that my classmates are nice.” As soon as I saw Mr. Henry, I knew he was going to push us to the limit while making sure that we got a good learning experience. I soon found out that I was right about that: the students were very friendly and this became actually one of my favorite classes. Mr. Henry actually pays attention to his students. He is always there if you need help, or if you need to talk. As long as you come to class on time with a positive attitude, you will have a great outcome. Mr. Henry’s class is fun and he always makes us think outside the box with these courageous and intellectual pictures and videos. College is just as fun as high school, and you should want to further your education.
