The Difference Between High School and College

In college you get to take responsibility for your failures and correct them. If you don't succeed in one thing, you either figure out why and re-commit, or find something else to pursue. There's nothing to say your first chosen path is the right one.

Blaming the teacher never gets you anywhere. Calling him names will set you back and just upset everyone. If you can't learn from one teacher, move on and find one you can build a relationship with and learn from.

After the first semester, you still have time to find your way. If you're in the same predicament in the middle of your penultimate semester, get worried.

Mom and Dad may be as disappointed as you that you're having a hard time in one subject, but they know you'll figure it out one way or another, and will always love you and care for you.

High school is a place to get through.

College is a place to build a foundation.
