I chose to take blended/online courses because it was offered at my school. Such offers were for high school classes and college classes. Issues that led me to these courses simply scheduled flexibilities and or the only other option I had. Opportunities on the other hand were when the school paid for the course itself and provided help from an online courses coordinator. Due to taking these classes, I am more engaged in school and it helps me want to work ahead and stay ahead.
My academic performance has shot through the roof ever since I started taking online courses. This experience has taught me to plan ahead to get assignments done ahead of time if you know you are going to be gone. Unfortunately the career I chose to pursue I was not able to take classes for but it did help me explore my options.
As a person, I felt more in tune with my school work, teachers, and expectations. Having an online course built my social skills in the community with classmates, co-workers, and associates. I liked online courses vs. in the classroom because I would rather read my own lectures than being lectured for hours on end. I like that on my online courses no one knows you for your past or what you do or go in your free time. Taking classes whether it be high school or college classes while in high school will help you select a career for your life after high school. In online classes, you can work at your own pace and ask for as much help as you need.
