Do not dropout!

Many college freshman drop out in their  first year, statistics have proven this.  It can be for many reasons, such as stress, money problems, or just plain lazyness.  I am a college freshman and I understand that the transition between high school to college is a huge change.  Especially for teenagers who are not use to doing so much work , reading and studying.  I am one of those teenagers myself, I high school I did not have to do this much work and I hardly ever had to study things were just so easy for me.  Now that I am in college the situation has changed though, I have to study and read.  At times I know all this work and get stressing and this is why many kids drop out.  Those kids who feel like they are not going to make it through college because of the numerous amount of work, should believe in themselves first of all.  Having confiendence in yourself is very important, think postitive if you made it into an university then you are already above many others.  So you should take this opportunity to better yourself and make the best of it.  Yes, the work is stressing and it can take up a lot of you time, but you can always ask for help to make things eaiser on you.  Also remember to stay focus, the opportunitues  that you can get with a college degree should inspire you to make it through.  Teenagers who are having  money problems should apply for scholarships, they are many out there to help college student because  education is very important.  There are also many job opportunites on campus for students, so students should take advantage of this chance.  My advice for the lazy students is to grow up and realize you are not a child anymore, things are not just going to come to you.  Nowadays the motto is “work hard, play hard.” 

Students do not throw away the opportunity to extend your knowledge and stay in college, many will be proud of you.
