Is community college like high school at all?

Hi there Austin. I really do appreciate your comment, coming from a parent as yourself. It is a struggle for me daily with my Tourette’s and unfortunately I lost two years of school through middle school because of how bad my twitches were. They’re still awful, but I just cope and hopefully my dad will get me a dog already as it’s extremely therapeutic and helpful for me just to pet. The Tourette’s makes a lot of things difficult such as paying attention and since it is so hard to pay attention, it is so hard to take in information unless I am really interested. I also have mild Aspergers and I’ve been obsessed with business, finance and real estate since I was nine and my intentions are to either study business and become a small business owner with intentions of making it big or become a lawyer.

I really do appreciate your reply and you sharing your experience with me, it does help and thank you again.

Off topic: I do apologize for coming across as rude and sounding like I don’t want to learn, but when you have so many obstacles – it becomes hard to motivate yourself. I have no problem attending college, but the thought of more math just irks me, quite frankly. I do want to learn, and absolutely do I want an education.

Hi there SouthFlorida, I have taken some close looks at community college’s nearby and I will admit, I’d say a big proportion of the attendees are what I’d consider to be thugs. However, that shouldn’t stop me from attending, I just wouldn’t associate with any of them. My intentions for college (even for community college) consist of solely getting an education, and trying to establish some connections for business ventures I’d like to partake in within the future.
