"I feel that the Waiākea High School Early College program gives a head start for high school students wanting to go to college. Students who start this program as sophomores in high school will be on track to earn an AA degree while graduating high school with a diploma. The positive thing about being enrolled in Early College is that students have a greater opportunity of being accepted into college in comparison to students who just take regular high school classes. Early College motivates students to become independent." |
"Early College has guided me to become a better person overall. Early College has taught me to be responsible towards my choices to better prepare me for my future. Without Early College, I would not be thinking about attending college after high school. This program has provided me with many options for choosing colleges and career pathways." "Before I was in Early College I didn't have a real plan for my life and what I was gonna do after high school. I wanted to surf all day and hang out with my friends at the beach. My first Early College class taught me the important skills and mind-set needed to succeed in school and prepared me for what college class may be. I now know what my plan are for after high school and how I'm going to get there, thanks to Early College." |
"Early College has definitely helped me realize who I am and where I want to go while in high school. Without this experience I would not be where I am today. I have made better decisions in high school, especially with hanging out with people who support my dreams and passions. This program has allowed me to pursue my dreams." |
