The purpose of this Venn Diagram is to show the advantages and disadvantages of either high school and running start. Both running start and high school have great opportunities. Both come with gains and losses. For example, in running start you become busier with homework and classes, and sometimes it hard to make time to socialize. On the other hand, You are receiving two diplomas at once! In high school, you get to live the one time high school experience, but if you're doing a full time schedule you classes are not as flexible. Sense there are people who are graduated from high school in this class, maybe it can show them the reason I and others have chosen to do running start!
I Chose to do this topic because this is a choice I have had to make. To either stay in high school, or try to knock some years of college off. I personally think running start is a great opportunity for anyone looking to get a head start on college. It pays for two years of college and that's awesome for lower income families like myself. I'm grateful that our state is one that offers this opportunity!

These are the same advantages/disadvantages I thought about when deciding whether or not to do running start. There are definitely some major advantages to getting a head start on college!
ReplyDeleteI agree! And so far i'm really enjoying college!
DeleteI hope this program is available when my kids get older. I think Running Start is a fabulous opportunity. I think you could also focus on maturity level and individual responsibilities, as these are imperative to making that decision to be in a college class or not.
