I would say that college has been a positive experience for me so far. It's just the same as high school, minus the friends, drama, and the whole social aspect of it. Okay, so it's not quite the same. But now that I am 18 it is finally time to grow up and figure out what I'm going to do with my life. Education is my main priority at this time. Just about the opposite as were my priorities in high school. Education is so important, it is the basis of your career, the rest of your life. What do I seek to gain from education? Well, I hope to gain a strong understanding of a potential career I may have and to enjoy it. My education in high school was, honestly, kind of bs. Or maybe it was just the fact that I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. But that I would say is part of being a teen. So to answer the question "have you enjoyed your educational experience through high school?" I would have to say no. I don't feel like i gained a lot from high school. I would say that i enjoyed my social experience more rather than my educational experience. College has truely been a reality check for me, and this is just the beginning.

As for my critical question: How will President Obama deal with the economic crisis at hand?
