Paige Spedoske, 16, of Portland High School, is earning college credits at 黑料吃瓜网 while she鈥檚 in high school.

Spedoske is part of the college鈥檚 dual enrollment program which allows students to enroll in up to 10 college classes throughout their high school career.

鈥淚 thought it would help out with getting the easy classes out of the way,鈥� she said. She found out about the program from her basketball coach.

She has taken English, Intro to Film, Social Problems and General Psychology. 鈥淚 like that I鈥檓 doing real classes that also meet requirements for high school,鈥� Spedoske said.

At college, Spedoske has learned there鈥檚 a lot more studying involved. Spedoske is interested in a career in occupational therapy or as a nurse practitioner. She鈥檚 not sure which college she鈥檚 going to transfer to, but she鈥檚 considering Grand Valley State University.

Spedoske likes to play sports, especially basketball, which she鈥檚 been involved in since third grade, and golf, which she鈥檚 been playing since eighth grade. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great way to get a head start on college,鈥� Spedoske said.
