Looking Back: A College Freshman's Perspective
By Jon Weinreich
It’s
hard to put into words exactly how well North Shore
prepares you for life beyond high school. The subtle differences between high
school and college are especially accentuated freshman year, when most students
are just realizing exactly how difficult the next four years are going to be.
It turns out that all of those days spent in class until the final bell rang at
4:40 were worth it, as most of my friends ended school around 2 PM, and
subsequently “burn out” much faster. The little things, like being able to
explain any Calculus topic to anyone taking Calculus I or II, just because you
learned it so well in high school, or the analytical thinking skills that come
out of four years of discussion of Talmud, or even learning the physics of a
ball rolling down a ramp (a problem that ended up being a lab here in
college!), make you miss the halls of North Shore Hebrew Academy.
