Keith M. Parsons’ blogpost, "Message to My Freshman Students", portrays the responsibility of a freshman college student. Parsons insists that a college student hold full responsibility for their learning. Throughout Parsons’ blogpost, he compares the student's’ responsibility between high school and college. Parsons declares that in high school if the student does not learn, the teacher is blamed. On the contrary, in college the student must choose to learn. Parsons emphasizes the fact that he will lead the student to the fountain of knowledge, but the student must choose to learn the material. Whether the student makes an A or a F, Parsons will still get paid the same amount. Parsons stresses that the college freshman must choose to succeed. He insists that if a college student fails, it is their own fault. The responsibilities of a college freshman multiply from their experiences in high school. Once in college, the student must learn to listen and learn on their own time. Parsons displays the responsibilities for the college freshman in his blogpost.
