High School vs. College

As we all know, education is very important. Education to some people, is the answer to your life. We all know that as we grow older, we learn new and more advance learning skills in school. We first go to preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, and then college. But in the end, high school and college are the more difficult for everyone. So comparing high school and college, which one is harder?

For high school, I hear a lot of high school student complaining about how hard high school is and how projects and papers they have to do and write. I also complained myself too saying how hard high school was. High school was hard back then in my eyes. You always had teachers on your back about your homework, projects, and papers. Also, you had to show up to school because if you decide to skip a class or the whole entire day; school will call your house letting your parents know which sucked a lot.

Now as for college, its a whole different ball game. College, you have your freedom. Instead of calling them teachers, you call them professors or doctors.  But as for your homework, projects, and papers, professors are never on your back. They pretty much remind you when is the due date and that's pretty much it. So it's either you want to do it or you don't want to do it.

So in the end, in my eyes it's a no brainer. College is way much harder than high school and I'm sure everyone agrees with me. Even though you have the choice and your freedom in college, you have to work twice as hard or maybe three times as hard. I hear high school student complaining about how much they have to write for their papers and I would ask them how much they would have to write and they would say at least a 2 page long paper. I would tell them they have it easy because for college you would have to write 4-8 or even more pages. I regret not taking high school seriously because high school kind of prepares you for college. My advice for high school students and students that are going to be in high school in the future, appreciate high school and do your best in it.
