My First College Exam
Last Friday I had my first college exam. It was nothing like my exams in high school because this one I feel like I had to write so much to explain myself. It was for my math class, which is a math class for teaching elementary students how to do math. So every answer was about a paragraph long because you had to write out how you would explain how to do the problem to a young child. I didn't do as good on the test as I had hoped to but now I feel a little better that I have completed my first college test. In high school I feel like things were so much easier and I didn't have to spend as much time studying. At times I wish teachers would have pushed me harder and made things harder to relate to college because at times I feel like i wasn't prepared for college. I still don't feel like I have completely mastered the time management skills but it's going to take some time. One thing I would change in high school is that I wish they had a required class for seniors to teach them how to prepare yourself for college. They should teach us how to correctly write a paper, correctly write an outline, teach us time management skills, ect.

I was talking to my nephew when he was first in high school and he was telling me how the guidance counselors had told them to take AP classes because that is what colleges look for. I remember telling him that they should be looking for students who can think critically and write well.
