High School Differences

Graduating from high school is what every student is looking forward to. However, going to college is a big accomplishment for all students. The first day of freshman high school and college feels the same, the excitement and pressured. As many students experienced, both high school and college could be compared their similarities. First, both students in college and high school are expected to behave in well mannered, attend to every class on time, and respect the teachers or professors. Second, being prepared in class is needed for the success whether the students are in high school or college. Third, high school and college allow the students to figure out and pursue their career. In contrary, high school and college have a lot of differences to each other. Unlike high school, students in college can choose a college they would prefer, they can manage their own time, and students be able to learn how to balance their responsibilities and priorities.

Changing schools is a huge adjustment, especially between middle school and high school. Everything is new, and that can be a scary adjustment. However, if one looks past the numerous differences, there are many remaining similarities. You worked your way to the top as the big bad eighth graders but now you have once again fallen to the bottom with more grades above you since primary school. One works towards very different things in each school and once you are in high school schedules fill up to an unimaginable amount. Say good-bye to freetime because it is rare. However once one recognizes some of the more familiar things from before they can be a great comfort. In both schools you experience new freedoms both inside and outside of the actual school as well as having higher expectations.

That is not true. School, starting at grade 6, is brainwashing children to think that they need to this special system to teach them how to prepare for college. Which is not the best for them. Schools used to have a curriculum that was based on how to succeed on life without using college (The good, the bad, and the ugly, 2011). Now schools and teachers must follow this strict guideline that tells them what and how to teach to the children.

Many people endure three years of middle school and four years of high school. It is an eventful time for children between 11 to 18 years old. During the adolescent years there are hormonal changes, environmental changes and emotional developmental gains. Middle school is the beginning of transitioning towards independence under the constant eye of adults. During high school they are challenged with real-world challenges that help them transition into adulthood. The behaviors of these individuals change as the factors change around them. For every person, the experience of high school or middle school may be different. Either way, both have the same goal of wanting the student to succeed and evolve. Even so, the similarities and differences vary. Middle school and high school are alike in the areas of receiving an education, socializing with others, and having teachers while different in areas of maturity, difficulty in work, and independence.

In Germany schools is a little different from the schools in the United States. From the age of 6 through 14, school is mandatory, and in public state-run schools, it is free. The school system in Germany is a little different from in America’s school system. All children enter in the same program, but at the age of 10, they can go to one of four different types of schools. The way that they enter school determines whether they will go to a university or enter a technical field or trade field. Colleges in Germany are very difficult to get into. They require you to have a high school diploma and, a GPA that is equivalent to 60% of your grade. These requirements just stated will allow you to get into the lowest level of college that they have to offer. There school system goes on programs that help you get a degree in a specific field. Once you enter a program at the school, you must finish it. It is not like our school systems in the United States where you can change whenever you want. If a student in Germany starts a program and, after 3 years, he or she decides that they want to get out of that program, he or she must start over from the beginning. Nothing will transfer from program to program in the German education system. Job requirements are much more difficult, for

The American standard in the US educational system has always been to attend a four-year university after high school. Students attend college after high school to further their education in their career of interest, and to obtain a degree to become successful adults in the real world. Schools in this age however, do not teach students about life after high school and college. They fail to introduce life lessons needed in the real world, like writing a resume, buying a house, or paying taxes. The current American educational system does not prepare students to be successful adults; it teaches students things they may never apply to real-world situations.

Some may think that high school and college reading and writing are similar and that it’s just the next level up but it 's not, they differentiate in many ways. College reading and writing is more than that, it’s a completely different world when compared to high school. It’s much more advanced and complexed.

In the first few weeks of high school, I have put a lot of effort in my classes and my homework. I definitely achieved the skill of becoming more independent and relying on myself.  I've fumbled in becoming more confident when I give a presentation to the class.

Moreover, I want to learn how to give a presentation without being too nervous or weary of the negative things that can
