Honyst's Blog

         I personally was never one to care about the success rate of a school, because I knew that the amount of success I would achieve individually would be exceptional. The article points out more of the flaws in how colleges are collecting data rates, however I feel the article did not get to the true reason for graduation rate differences. I hear the phrase “School is not for everyone,” so often, and it was not until I graduated from high school that I realized this to be true. Growing up, school was an easy task for me, even though I did not like it. I believe that the key to being successful in school is to be able to understand and memorize information.

 My name is Honyst, I am a 20 year old student at GGC. I was born and raised in Georgia as an only child. My current major is business, however as I continue to learn more about myself, I have decided that I am going to change my major to accounting. I am exceptional with numbers and math has always been my strongest subject. I do not have many hobbies that I do on the regular, but I like to do adventurous activities such as water rafting, zip lining, or jet skiing.
