In some ways I feel ready and prepared for college but then in some other ways I don't feel ready at all. But I wouldn't blame that on just this high school because they really do offer up every class you need to get ready for life after high school, so I put the blame on kinda everything around me. Just the thought of going to college and being out there on my own scares me like no other. And I guess one reason is that we are just so safe here. Our classes are just so perfect and on time and everything is just to an exact, and I really don't think thats how college is going to be. Here we seemed to be almost takin by the hand and walked everywhere, but thats not how it should be. Of course highschool is more free than all schooling before it but still not enough. Neither work or college run like this school does, and because we are kept so close and its baby steps through everything I think that makes us expect something different out of the real world. And maybe thats why so many fail these days. I mean really we walk out of here with some speach they gave us about suceeding and how they know we are ready for the next steps but in a lot of cases that doesn't seem true.

You make an excellent point about college preparation: there's more than just academic preparation that needs to be done.
I agree completely with you when you say it scares you thinking about college, it scares me too. I wish that high school would be more like college so we could be more prepared. It does seem like teachers and other higher authoritive people who walk us through things in baby steps instead of letting us figure it out on our own.
