highschool vs college

College is all about shaping one's future. One gets to decide the path one wants to take. Although there are several required courses, it is a time in which one mainly takes classes that will help one gain knowledge of one's future career. Because of this, most people enjoy college a lot more than highschool. For example, although I enjoyed my highschool years with my friends, I did not give my all in my classes because some did not interest me. Through out middle and highschool I disliked geography class. I was never interested in this class. I did not understand why I had to learn that the German city of Koblenz gave site to the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosselle river or that the northern boundary of the United States is exactly at 49N. For me, the basics of geography was enough. Other than this, college is the place where one becomes an independent individual. One does not have parent's rules, one has plenty of responsibilities. Although all teenagers long to be in college and some do not take highschool serious, it is important to become responsible before attending college. It is crucial to have sleeping and study habits and to learn how to make decisions before going to college..and highschool is the place to learn these things.
