<p>And thank you guys so much for sharing your stories. Especially the long ones that obviously had a lot of thought put in them and took a lot of time to write. Those are the ones that helped me the most. There were varying opinions, but there are for everything. </p>
<p>I did poorly in high school (graduated with 2.6) and managed to excel at CC (4.0, honors, a bunch of ECs and awards) but have gotten bored with the slow-paced, dummed down stuff. Because a 90% and 100+% look the same on a transcript, I would stop trying less than half way through the semester because I would be in the safe A zone. This was one of the reasons I didn’t like high school, and eventually stopped showing up completely. This is the reason I’m getting bored with CC…I’m so ready to transfer. And I really feel that I can, not only handle the new challenges and experiences that will come with my transfer to Cal, but I feel that it will finally let me spread my wings a little bit.</p>
