What I Have Learned from Attending Classes Online During Lockdown.

I recently graduated from a college in Ireland that focuses on learning new skills for possible employment or advancement to a bigger college or university. I plan to go to a college in Cork in October, from what I have been reading on the website. Right now in Ireland, our situation in terms of the current pandemic, we are allowed to go anywhere in the country (excluding one county). This means I will be able to go to Cork unless there are further announcements expected. I'm actually excited to go, but I'm nervous as in understanding how I will be attending this year. Most seventeen and eighteen-year-olds would sit exams for a whole month of June and hope by August that they would receive enough points to get into their dream course. I went through a different route in 2019 and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Of course with the recent events surrounding the pandemic, I had to finish my course online. I also had my assessments online. During my time of learning online, I have learned three things that may affect me for the future of my next academic year and for my future in general.
