Why College Is Awesome

As I alluded to in my last post, I am in a community college program to earn a two-year transfer degree while being home-schooled in high school. The program is called Career and College Promise, and the state will pay your tuition. So far, I've loved the experience, because the nature of it is entirely independent. I've always been fond of learning systems modeled after the personal student responsibility found in Plato's academy in Athens. I'm ODD, so I'm much more likely to do something if I'm convinced its optional. You have more free time at college. Your classes are shorter and you don't have to stay the whole day, only a few hours. Everyone is also much nicer and more mature. Not a single person has taunted me the entire week, and everyone has been friendly, non-judgemental, and helpful. I love college! :)
