San Diego City College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Sierra

The high school age should be focused mainly on exploration. Being in the initial formative years of ones identity, this age group should be sure to maintain a healthy dose of experimentation with life's options. It is crucial to experience as much as possible in these years before free time is consumed by responsibility. Social identity is important, but independent growth must be considered equally important. Students should do as much as possible and save up so that they have a solid and experientially thickened platform to fly from when they reach independence during college age.
