The education system is a lot different now than it was in elementary, middle, and high school. It’s different mainly because college you have to pay for yourself, unless of course you get help from the government or get scholarships.

I know I’m going to make lots of mistakes and look stupid. I panic. And stop coming.” (Lives on the Boundary, Rose, Page 1) this passage explains just how I feel when I go in to take a test, not just writing, all subjects.

The issues I have in college are issues that are able to have improvement. Most teachers need to understand each students needs and not come to conclusions about them. They also need to give each and every one of their students a chance from start to finish. If teachers actually
