“Where are you going to college?”“I'm going to my local community college.”My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people's faces.It's clear that people have a lot of misconceptions(误解) about community colleges.
Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn't get into a four-year school.But it is not true.In high school,I always got A's.But when it came to applying to colleges,I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do.My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.
Some people will ask,“Since the community college is cheaper,will you get a good education?”I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges.My professors were knowledgeable and experienced,and I found many of the courses challenging.
Some people think if I attend the community college,I will miss out on the “college experience”.I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college.But I soon learned that the community college,just like any other college,is what you make of it.I strived to make the most of my time at the community college.I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.
I took a lot of different courses.I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class.Never having written for my high school newspapers,I didn't dare to take it,but since she was so enthusiastic,I eventually decided to have a try.That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.
I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism.Community colleges may not be for everyone,but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.
