What Is The Most Influential Experience Of Attending A Community College

Attending a community college in the summer of my junior after receiving a deplorable grade has proved the most influential academic experience I have ever had.

Instead, the adults surrounding me were struggling to attend class due to financial hardships, family incidents, and too much self-reliance. I started realizing that a multitude of students, including myself, were overlooking the privilege of family and school support.

I became understanding of how to balance extracurricular, school activities, and Pre-Calculus by reevaluating my priorities and promising myself to take advantage of all tutoring opportunities if necessary once back in school.
