(Blog #17) How did your previous educational experience prepare you for college?

How did my previous educational experience prepare you for college? When I started 8th grade a lot of my teachers would tell me over and over that in 9th grade that my grades started counting and that college will look what your grades your got and if you got any tickets and stuff. Also in 10th grade a lot of my class start teaching us a information that would help us in college. In high school they had a lot of different colleges come and talk to students about how to apply for college and what kinds of things that they would look for to see if we would be able to qualify for a college that we want to go to. In my English class we had to learn how to write college paper and what kind of stuff that Writting teachers would be looing for in our papers and how they would grade papers. I was really hard worker and I got really good grades and tried to get on the honor roll each term because I knew that it would look good on my transcript for college. I also work my butt off to graduate from high school so that I could get into college a lot easier but it was also a big accomplishement for me to graduate from high school. Also my counslers at the high school would talk to me every month to see how I was doing in my classes and if I need any help with any of my classes.
