FREEDOM IN
COLLEGE.... |
| High
school is mandatory and free (unless you choose
other options). |
College
is voluntary and expensive. |
| Your
time is usually structured by others. |
You
manage your own time. |
| You
need permission to participate in extracurricular activities. |
You
must decide whether to participate in extracurricular activities.
(Hint: Choose wisely in the first semester
and then add later). |
| You
can count on parents and teachers to remind you of your responsibilities
and to guide you in setting priorities. |
You
will be faced with a large number of moral and ethical decisions
you have not had to face previously. You must balance your responsibilities
and set priorities. |
| Guiding
principle: You will usually be told what your responsibilities
are and corrected if your behavior is out of line. |
Guiding
principle: You're old enough to take responsibility
for what you do and don't do, as well as for the consequences
of your decisions. |
