Besides Howard what are some good schools African American and Latino students can go to with a good representation of themselves and also a reasonable rep and academic standing? I'm thinking about going to Howard but i want a school that is a little more diverse but still has a good number of African Americans. I also want to stay on the East Coast because i love the culture over here. If i left here i'd miss the music, people, fashion, etc.

Nothing covered in high school classes is essential to university work. If anything, high school builds up the self esteem of those average learners who can't/won't think for themselves, but plenty of people, myself included, found it a generally negative and worthless experience.

I barely graduated, but am an A student in university. The smartest people I've known, never graduated high school and some of them are graduate students!

When I was 16, I wanted to drop out of high school and do something else with my life, but was told that this would lead me down a path of unemployment and inability to go to university. Complete lies, but as a teen I didn't know better. I would have got a GED, gone to community college at 16, transfered to a uni at 17 instead of wasting an extra 2 years in the high school system.

Why pretend? Is it just to cover the fact that high school is just daycare for teens?

if it helps, my sentence that will follow the quote will be:
Similarly, Romantic poets such as Shelley, Coleridge, and Wordsworth use nature’s dynamic muse-like qualities to inspire their palette of words.
