Get to know a little more about me, and how I came about to meet you here.
In the Spring of 2019, I was sent a pamphlet from a local community college containing a small selection of their college extension courses. I thought it would be a perfect idea to show potential colleges that I was capable of taking college courses while I was still in high school.
Thinking I had a solid plan, I headed over to my high school’s college and career center, to see if my plan showed any merit. In just a few short moments my initial plan was squashed into a million pieces. I found out that I had no clue what extension classes actually were. And furthermore, the community college that sent me the class list had just closed their deadlines for Spring applications.
Crushed, but still set on pursuing my initial plan, I came up with an alternative path and researched commonly asked questions for incoming college students. Fortunately, a much closer community college was still taking applications for that semester and offered thousands of courses within its district. I blindly entered a path that ended up defining my academic mindset as well as my personal mindset.
My plan was set for that Spring semester. As a high school junior, I started off taking one class in the Spring of 2019. Gradually I became “addicted” to the thrill of taking transferable college courses, without even paying for them. I completed my senior year of high school and freshman year of college at the same time. I completed high school with a near-perfect GPA and my freshman year in college with a 4.0 GPA with two Part-Time Dean’s Honor listings.
My GPA may give people the urge to scoff and beg to differ when I tell them I struggled with my academics in the past. But, all I can say is that I learned to work smarter, not harder. This is a principle I have always kept close in mind and continue to use to formulate my academic plans.
Pursuing my academic plan saved me thousands of hours spent on studying for “outdated” and “overly competitive” standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and AP tests to only sound mildly appealing to College Admission boards. Tuition alone at some universities can cost the same amount as outright buying a luxury car or even a large downpayment on a home. I often asked myself if it worth spending thousands of dollars on course unit fees, standardized test tutoring, and even application fees to multiple schools?
The truth is most students have no clue what they want to pursue in college and often drop out while wasting thousands of their parent’s hard-earned dollars. Following my guidance, you will be able to attend college only paying for your textbooks and graduate with at least two years of college classes under your belt. This means you are at least two years ahead of your high school peers but still attend your high school.
While pursuing this life-hack of an academic plan, I found myself feeling confused, stressed out, and at times lonesome since there is a lack of students who part-take in this process. There are no experts who post articles or videos that explain how to get through this type of process.
In the Summer of 2020, I decided to step up to the task of mentoring and guiding students like you to obtain their Associate’s Degree in a community college or even a Bachelor’s Degree in universities while still attending high school. Making students think more independent, become more responsible, pay less for college, and always stay ahead of the game.
