Psychology Speaker

Today after school I was able to listen to the psychology speaker. His style and content were pretty good, and I felt as if I learned a lot. While everything seemed to run well and he was about to end, he said, "Please give me five more minutes."

Since we were all happy, we didn't mind sitting for a bit more. However, what he did was totally unrelated to psychology. He was actually introducing us to the college he worked. It is a 2-year technology-based college. He was actually good at it, and I couldn't control myself and ask my Psychology teacher, "Is it poproganda?"

He was clearly addressing to the wrong people. Being in AP Psychology does not necessarily mean we will go to a good college. However, there is a high correlation that we will go to a 4-year college. Let's say he is selling his product to the wrong people.

I do agree that a 2-year college has advantages. It is cheap and you can take all your basic credits there. Speaking of that, I did have experience with 2-year college. It wasn't good~~

After my sophomore year, I wanted to take some college classes. I heard that there were programs at the local community college. Therefore, I signed up for them. I took a class in English and in Sociology. When I was in the classroom, I felt out of place.

There were many more mature people in the class. They all had to work during the day. Studying wasn't their main interest. Sometimes, the students didn't pay attention to the teacher. Some people didn't even come at all. Keep a long story story, I didn't like there.

I have a friend who is going there now. I hadn't talked to him since March. Apparently he had been busy. As I tried to see how he was doing, I heard that he planned to drop out of college and worked full time. I thought, "Oh my god! I hope he really isn't going to do that." I was worried for him, for whatever reason there was. Eventually, we talked Sunday. They were all rumors.... and i was happy that he stayed on course. For me, dropping out off college is too stupid. But in a community college, it is just all too common. I was glad he didn't assimilate to such environment.

I have to end my desperate attempt to bs something. In conclusion, if you are choosing between a 2-year college and a 4-year college, I will go for a 4-year college. the culture is different; the people are different. Lastly, the speaker really did do a good job, but he should not have advertised. That, i believe, destroyed his creditibility.
