Dual Enrollment Research Paper

Improved Essays
I am attending Florida SouthWestern because I am a dual enrolled student in their collegiate high school program. I applied for the dual enrollment program for a few reasons. My first reason is because I felt I wasn’t being challenged in school.

My second reason is because in eight grade I was bullied a lot, and I wanted a fresh start far away from everyone I knew. Finally, I enrolled because I knew that attending a dual enrolled school would open doors for me when applying for colleges and will help me get ahead in life.
