Highschool vs. College

When I was a high school student before,  I asked my teachers which of the two has their happiest memories, some of them said was High school, and others was College. I am not going to choose yet because I am not done studying in College. There are so many memories when I was in High school, like when our class is dismissed, we will go out and eat at the fast food chains outside our school, or will go to our friend's crib. In my year third in high school, I was part of the volleyball team in our school. I miss to be a part of the volleyball team. Then here in college as of now, my parents would still not allow me to join the team and it is okay for me because this is for my own good. 

In high school and college, our main objective is to have a high grades, but for me, it is not about the grades that we're going to receive, it is the lessons that we learn from our teachers and parents. They both have classmates, teachers, books, reports, quizzes, homework and of course the deadly EXAMS. Both stages are we, as a student, are preparing for our future. They also have the same rule in taking the exams, which is NO CHEATING. High school has the events every school year, like, sports fest, dancing and singing contests, varsity teams, etc., the same as college. There is a lot of similarities of school that I still do not experienced it. 

However, high school attendance is mandatory, but in college attendance is strongly suggested. In high school, it is okay not to take notes, unlike college that we need to take notes because I found out that college is more challenging than high school. The books in high school, are not so thick, but in college, it is thick as the area of the whole tree. In high school, they are not aware of knowing what is required to graduate, yet in college, they are going to choose a minor an major subjects that are expected for graduation. 

Of course, all of us want to have a better life and a successful job, so all we need to do is strive hard while we are still studying. Push yourself because, no one else is going to do it for you. Sacrifice your time because time is important when we are studying. There is a saying that successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose. My advice while you are still a student, study hard and ask God for a strength in mind to focus on our studies.
