Skeptical‚ yet curious‚ I decided to enroll my last quarter at De Anza. The first day‚ though fun‚ did little to

I signed up for AP Biology because it was highly recommended for MSI Stem students to take sophomore year. Another reason is I need my biology credit for high school‚ college credit from the AP exam is just a bonus. Honestly‚ I have no real idea what my college degree might be. I like a lot of things; writing‚ helping out with animals‚ and law. So maybe I’ll become a veterinarian‚ or a writer‚ or maybe do something in the field of law. Because of my classes‚ I could be any of those‚ but I think

Dealing with independence was a revealing experience for me‚ giving me new responsibilities and shaping my work ethics. I didn’t have my parents‚ now 5‚000 miles away‚ to urge me to finish my homework or to nag about my less than perfect grades‚ and I couldn’t depend on the support of the teachers or counselor that I knew so well to look after my academic well-being.

Why I Came to Snow College Twice I came to Snow College the fall after I graduated high school in 2014. While I was here I did not really care much for my education.
