If I could go in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to work harder at finding sholarships I wouldtell myself not to procrastinate in the search for sholarships so that I could attend collage in the fall intead of having to wait a year. Waiting on filling out sholarships did not really save me anything, in fact it partly hindered my school because of the time gap from senior year and when I start collage. If I had filled out sholarships my senior year, I could have had one year of collage done while what I learned in high school was still freash in my mind. Now I will have to review everything when I attened collage.
I would also tell my self not be be afread of finding and filling out the scholarships, if I could go back and talk to myself. After all, what is there to really be afread of anyways, you may or may not get the sholarship but if you do not even try then you never will. So in the end, you just need to bite the bullit and fill out the sholarship applications.

I don?t know if there is a whole lot that I would tell myself to change or to anticipate. A few things I would tell myself are to be more open minded about other people?s back ground. Not everybody grows up the same way or has the same opinion on different topics. Everyone will have a different goal in life so don?t let your goals be changed by someone else. If you want something go for it and dont let anyone stand in your way.

I would have to tell my high school self not to accept admission to Alaska Pacific University, instead I should have applied and attended University of Alaska Anchorage. I would tell myself to take some more science classes at a community college to fufill some of my Science GURs and GERs. I would tell myself to take as many college classes as I could at the community college and have them transferred over for Fall 2008 term at the college that I wanted to attend.
I would tell myself not to take classes I could not handle in Fall 2008, instead I would take a mixture of challenging classes and the easy classes. I would make sure that I had better time management and had better judgment when it came to making friends and choosing the college of my four years.

Don't worry about the little stuff in life; save your anxieties for real world problems. However, still try your best at what you're doing. Also, don't always just wait for the future. Rather, enjoy the present and make use of the opportunities you have while you're still at home.
Remember that just because you'll be getting a degree in a certain field, doesn't mean you are limited to jobs only in that field. You have limitless choices in life, so take advantage of your opportunities. Volunteer often, spend time with your family, dream about life. Make life goals for yourself and then figure out how you're going to accomplish them. Nothing is impossible if you are determined enough. By the way, college is going to go by even faster than high school, so make sure that you get to do all of the things you want to do- sometimes you will only get one chance.

If time can time travel is possible, I'd go back to tell myself to first enrolled at a community college to get my required core classes out of the way. That way when I do transfer into a 4 year university, all I have to do are the fun and more meaty classes. I believe this is where most of the knowledge will come from. Also, in the process, I'd make sure that I find a job within the field that I want to get into, such as Health Administration. It does not matter what type of job it is, I can be a file clerk or just an intern for the time being. With the changing economy, getting into this field is very difficult especially if you do not have any practical knowledge or experience in the field. Now a days, employers are seeking candidites with experience, and therefore, having that experience will help make my college career much easier. I will have the experience to discuss in classes and understand what it is when we are discussing issues in the field.
