<p>I am technically a high school senior but I, like many of my friends, went to an early college program for 11th a 12th grade. we did not take any high school classes but instead were enrolled at a community college as full time college students and our classes gave us high school credit in addition to our college credit. some of my friends took more classes than I did and are receiving their associates degree next week and their high school diploma. I didn't take as many classes and i was working but i still have more college credit than a normal high school student would have from taking AP classes.
when I graduate and go to a 4 year college I was accepted as graduating in 2018 but since I already have college credit I would be graduating in spring 2017 or fall 2016 depending on how many classes I take during study abroad. would you consider that graduating early from a high school stand point? or as graduating on time from a college stand point? or even late seeing as I didn't get my associates degree in the same two years as some of my other friends did?</p>
<p>You will be graduating early if the college you apply for accepts your community college credits. </p>
<p>And life isn’t a race. It is great that you have credits and also could work. Those extra credits may allow you to study abroad or take fewer credits one semester or graduate college a little early or do a second major.</p>
