As we go on in life we face many challenges and new situations that we deal with. A new situation that most people deal with is college and all the changes that come along with it. What many people don 't realize is that high school, in many ways, is similar and differrent from college. Not only are people changing but the surroundings and work change as well.

The student has the responsibility of either doing the work or not.2
