This is what people expect from you before college.
You start preparing for the future as soon as you're born. some parents even start planning before.
Throughout your school years you learn about college and your teachers prepare you for it.
Once you get to the highschool it's crunch time. You start taking your SAT and start applying to colleges.
Although your school years probably influence you the most about college readiness; friends, family, and the media definitely play a big role too.
I think that you hit this topic spot on! There are definitely many things that can influence students in their college readiness and it varies from person to person.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I agree that there are without a doubt many influences that affect a students college readiness. Where do we draw the line from state issued exams to the importance of our own interest driven learning though? Would that have affected or deterred our preparedness in any way?
