I didn’t have very much fun or enjoyment while in high university.
My experiences left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, and the amount of labor I had to do for my classes was silly in retrospect.
It’s even much worse when you prefer me and you decide to take AP classes as well. I was toiling 45 minutes a week as an assistant cook at a retirement beach cabin while in more than -five separate AP classes at university and I don’t guess how I managed it. My goal was to prepare myself for college while amassing a great resume to use for admissions. But despite getting into the very best universitys in the nation, it never gave me the happiness that I was craving. Instead of traveling down the college track, my sister instead took classes at a trade school while she was in middle school. They had a partnership program with a nearby trade school so children could dedicate several class periods each day to receiving accredited education at the trade school. Since they offered Heating, Ventilation, and A/C classes and she realized it would provide him with job security, my sister opted to learn the heating and cooling. He’s making a great living as an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C serviceman and she has plenty of free time on the weekends to go fishing to keep him cheerful. Although life has improved for me a lot as I’ve settled into my own career, sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off going to trade university instead of my sister.
