1. When I was still in high school, of course, I wanted to soon be promoted to college. I like high school, but I don't want to stay in there for the rest of my life! To be honest, I didn't really pay much attention to my college. I expected my parents to find me a good school and do all the necessary things for me to be enrolled. That was back then. When I graduated, and as the summer flew by, I realized that I know what course or program I'd want to study and where to take it.

But I was still dependent on my parents. So, the rule stating that the student, without being accompanied by a parent, will have to enroll by him/herself, came to shock and worry to me. I was afraid to do it all by myself. But I had too. And from there, I learned that that was just a small first step to my college life. I had to learn to be independent. I had to mature and be responsible.
So how was that experience connect to how I would compare my highschool life to what I envisioned my college life to be?

It's the start. I envisioned my college life to be difficult - in a challenging way. And so far, it is. To be able to pass or overcome the challenges, I have to be strong and independent for myself.

2. The importance of the course - Values Education, is the content of what it teaches. It teaches morals, virtues, ethics etc. It teaches students to be responsible and gives them the knowledge on how to be a better person for him/herself and for others.
