my first thought of college when i think of it is studing and working hard. This doesn't sounds very interesting to me at all mostly because I don't like a lot of work without doing something fun. This is when I decided that college can't be fun in anyways but i personally wanted to go to college hoping for a better life in the future. Then I thought of applying for summer scholar program because i thought it wound be best to get to experience college life before i actually start it. then i applied and got excepted and the college life began.
The first week, I was introduced to my English profesor who was really good at keeping the high school students stay awake. We were given a normal size book to read and I was like, oh here we go "college" hoping for a lot of work and study as i believed. The next thing i know was that i found myself reading the book and liking it. When we got in to class, the profesor introduced herself and we all did as well. We began talking about the book on the second day of the program.
One of the best things that she did that I found very incouraging and important was how she got every one involved in the discussion and made us write about ourselves. This gave me more confidence than I ever had before when I thought that college was a scary place. during this first week I learned that getting to know your profesors, classmates, and participating in class discussion is a good way to keep yourself in the cours. Thanks to this program now my thought about college have changed.
