What is like to be an Only Child in College: Freshman Year
Welcome to the are you ready to leave the standard seven classes a day schedule to the assignment and instructions is online and be prepared to discuss the ten chapters on Monday series. Wow, that was a lot. Did you know the transition from High School to College is significant? I mean, I didn’t. Significant in what Yeye? What are you talking about?
Well, let’s see.
It is a public school that is located in a predominantly white neighborhood that admits children from all over the world. It is a magnet school that takes its time to consider who can be a Cardinal carefully; at least that was how it was when I was a student.
An average classroom held 35 students. For me, that was different. In Nigeria, we were lucky to have 15 students in the senior-level classes.
In fact, I had ten students in my Arts and Commercial class. At Bellaire, the problem with going to such a populated school was there were more bodies and desks than desired in a classroom. However, in College, it was different. It mirrored my secondary/high school class attendance in Nigeria. Some days the professor took the longest five minutes to call the roll, and other days, he or she skipped the roll altogether because only the first two roles were filled.
Being an only child, I prefer to work on projects alone, ask questions after class, and try to avoid group projects or interaction as much as possible. Because I can handle everything, my classes require me to do as long as I follow what my calendar says. LOL, was I sadly mistaken? I sure was! So, what changed? I will share the strategy I used that every college student needs to succeed in this next blog post. But, before then, let me know what your favorite memory of High School was?
