Dual enrollment

During my Fall semester of 2015 at Miami Dade Community college for dual-enrollment, I was studying for a chemistry final exam with several friends.

Education is an ongoing process. Every day, there is always new information going around for people to learn about. I have learned a whole lot of information to finally get to where I am now: a state university.

As a college student, it is very intimidating to know that everything is on your shoulders in college. It is solely my responsibility if I should attend class…

When I signed up for the Dual Enrollment English class, I wanted to develop new skills and gain more knowledge about how to write a presentable paper. Many students who took the class before told me it would be a lot of work and that it was not worth taking. I still took the course and I do not regret it.
