Post Secondary is first on many of Eastviews finest.

With the poor economy, many are finding it difficult to make ends meet, let alone afford the expenses of college tuition. Luckily, there is one option that significantly cuts the cost of college. Post secondary has become a reasonable option for many students in high school.
Post secondary is a program available to Junior and Senior high school students willing to pursue their college education prior to high school graduation. The real benefit to post secondary is the fact that many kids can complete courses for free that they would otherwise take for hundreds of dollars in college.
“Post Secondary is a great program for students with a strong work ethic,” says high school senior Greg Berman. “It will really help me in college when I’m semesters ahead of my fellow classmates, and I’ll have saved quite a bit of money.”
While Post Secondary seems to be a great option, it is crucial for students to look into the program in order to assure that the choice fits them.
There are two prominent requirements in order for a student to be able to participate in post secondary. First, the student must be able to provide their own transportation to commute from the college campus to their high school, and vice versa. Second, in order to qualify for post secondary one must be in the top fifty percent of their class.
Other aspects of post secondary can be considered a negative for different students. Many students find it to be difficult to participate in school sports and activities while attending college during high school. Another aspect to greatly consider is making sure that the classes you take are transferrable and follow the criteria in the career you wish to pursue. Otherwise, post secondary could end up being a mistake, and a waste of your time.
But never the less with this option for upper classmen being an open one more and more students are taking it. When it truly comes down to it the one thing that many students are trying to get back is time. And time is exactly what they will get. Greg goes on to say “I am very happy with the outcome of me coming here because after this year I will only have two more years to go.” And then after college is when the real work starts. “Like many people I just want to get on with my life and with this I can do it sooner and faster.” Another reason many of the kids who are in post secondary choose this path is because there future goals require or would be a lot easier with more time. “I plan to pursue business after college.” Greg says.
Along with upper classmen many of the underclass men see many of the possibility of the post secondary. “I plan to do post secondary in the future to save money for college and to get a jump start on my schooling.” Says Eastview sophomore Siri Ware. And she not the only one many plan to do this many underclass men plan on using this ever so popular option for the future.
“I’m so glad I did this it was hard at times but in the end it really going to pay off.” Explains Greg and he right the challenge of post secondary scares many of the student away from it. But if you do take on the challenge belive me from what I have seen it defiantly pays off.
