Olympic College Top Questions

"Hi Claire! How are you?" "I'm doing well Claire, I'm finishing high school next spring, so I'm really trying to enjoy my last year of freedom." "Freedom?" "Yes, because once I start college, everything gets so complicated! I'm not looking forward to all the work it takes. You must know how it is, you're there right now." "True, it is hard, and to do well in life, it does pay to do well in school. But the main point that measures your success is the amount of will and determination you have. The work is not hard if you know that every assignment accomplished is getting you closer to your goals and it becomes an enjoyable experience when you are taking classes that you have a true interest in as well as the ones necessary to your educational goals. The time to start cultivating that motivation, however, is right now. Always be one step ahead, plan well and in advance, take advantage of any opportunities that come your way, look into your interests, ask hundreds of questions, learn thoroughly, have fun, and make friends! That's how you get the most out of college life."

I would have organized my time better to study and progress so that I would have done better on the accuplacer test. I do like college but the higher you place on the test the shorter your time in college would have been and cheaper to afford school. I feel I did as much as I was capable but I could have worked more and saved for college myself. WIth the costs of gas and food and tuition I wished I could have found more employment . South Kitsap High school is too big and not favorable to preparing students .
