During my past 18 years of schooling, I have attended several different schools in several different countries. I attended elementary in Hong Kong and Pakistan, middle and high school in Pakistan and USA, respectively. Although I don't have a clear depiction of what it was like in elementary school, I can without any reservations, recall my time in middle and high school. By far, I had my best educational experience in high school. What made a difference was, the close relations every student had with their teachers, the quality time spent after schools doing extracurricular activities, and the quality of education taught. It is during these four years that I can say “I learned the most” if compared to other four year spans of schooling.
My worst educational experience occurred during my freshman year at UMBC. In part to being totally clueless as to what was expected from my classes, I had just started my new job at the bank the same week as school started. I had absolutely no time for anything else but school and work, and the culminated into a very hectic and stressful time. As the year progressed I gathered myself, and tried to manage my time better to bring about a positive change for years to follow.
