you're responsible for your learning more that so than maybe in high school where you have a teacher who's like,
00:00:05
"Okay, make sure you turn in your assignments on time and blah blah blah."
00:00:08
And I don't know, I've never been to a public high private high school. What I
00:00:12
assume is kind of the experience um is different in college. You know, it's a
00:00:17
lot more independent. Sometimes you're responsible for learning material outside of the class um that you won't
00:00:22
ever be taught inside of the course. And I know for me that was something that was kind of easy to adjust to because
00:00:28
during homeschooling in high school I was responsible for most of my teaching of myself. You know, I read my lessons.
00:00:35
I did my homework. I proctored my own exams.
