College Prep Research Paper

Decent Essays
Within my College Prep class during the second semester I have had to face the task of thinking about what colleges and universities I want to go to. To select colleges I had to take in account my GPA, distance and affordability. I also had to think about if I wanted to attend a two or four year school. I personally choose a four year school because I feel that my GPA is good enough to get me into a four year school and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of transferring from a two year school. I want to go through college all in one trial and not have any gaps or breaks.

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
