I don't know if everyone's classes were like mine in high school, but I feel like we missed something at Highland. Everyone I talk to in San Diego worked so much harder in their college preparatory classes to get an A. They wrote 10 page research papers as sophomores. I feel like I haven't even done that yet...though I'm pretty sure I have. It's college; come on. I just observed two classrooms here in San Diego, and was completely amazed at the students. They are respectful and give a ton of effort. Why was that not present in my high school experience? I never felt like it was bad, but I am just now realizing how
different it was.
