In order to prevent academic inflation-- the declining value of higher degrees of education-- and to be able to provide an appropriate level of higher education, colleges must limit their enrollment to only those who are prepared and have the potential to be successful. However, it is hard for universities to predict which students will be successful in college based solely on how they performed in high school due to the environments being almost incomparable. There is so much more that factors into someone’s potential to succeed than simply their past achievements. A lot of what motivates us to succeed are the morals and values we are taught early in life by our parents, yet even these core values can change over time. Colleges and high schools also ask very different things from their students.

Although a college education and degree is most often more impactful than a high school diploma, there is too much pressure

To avoid this, people need to start motivating themselves and getting excited about what they want to achieve, making sure their goals are relevant to their needs and being more perseverance when situations become difficult. When setting up their goals, they must ask that magic question: is this relevant to my lifestyle, furthermore, what will I do to achieve it?
