The Early College was the push I needed to better myself as a student and as a person. In high school‚ I received stellar grades and test scores without trying. I never needed to study‚ and I did the bare minimum for a majority of my assignments. Occasionally‚ I would find an assignment that I loved and go way beyond the requirement.

like if college athletes got paid? I could‚ especially with the help of this new article I read‚ written by Veronica Majerol for The New York Time Upfront.
