What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
When I was a high school senior, I was snotty and stupid and I thought that college was going to be so easy. I was so ready to get out and move on with my life and get away from the teachers at my high school that thought they knew everything. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that I don't know everything. There is a lot left in life to learn. Also I would have tried to help myself realize that I need to be more productive. Hopefully a little pep-talk from myself as a much more mature adult (haha) would put some sence into the childish brain I had. Looking back thought, I really doubt any of this advice would have mattered, because so many people told me these things and I decided not to listen. I thought I knew more than what they were trying to tell me. I have learned these things first hand and I still have to coach myself to get the results I'm looking for, and I still have a lot of growing up to do.

I wish I would've known, before coming to this school, that although in the back of my mind I knew it would be more challanging than high school, it didn't sink in that the classes would take more time and focus than my high school classes. I think because it is a junior college , I just assumed it wouldn't be that challanging, but I was mistaken. It actually does take time and patience to study and focus on the classes, to be able to pass them.

The worst thing about my high school was the actual building. There were mushrooms growing in one of the gyms during a particularly rainy period. The restrooms were also in very bad shape. Many of the stalls did not have doors that locked. The condition of the school was very distracting to the students. Many times class time would be spent with teachers and students alike discussing the many problems.

The classmates I have in my classes at Longview Community College come from high schools all around the Kansas City area. Serveral of which came from the high school I graduated from. Like most places everyone comes from different backgrounds. For the most part, the classmates I have get along fairly well. Although some of the people I have met in my classes are very different to the people I'm used to being around. I look at it as a good thing though because it is helping me be more comfortable with different kinds of people and social groups.
