American International College Top Questions

I would tell myself to never diminish confidence in yourself. In highschool I would have never thought I'd be persuing a BSN--I was not very academically correct in high school--I just got by. If I had to give myself advice I'd say to pay attention to your studies--in high school you don't think of the importance it has on your future--but it's extremely important--your grades are key to your success.

If I could go back in time and change my senior year I definitly would. High school is about having fun, making life long firends, and also focusing on your future and where you want to be in your life when it comes time for your 5 year high school reunion. In high school I didn't take school as seriously as I should have-I just figured they would accept me for playing sports,volunteering, and doing extra curricular activies. I was wrong when every four year college I applied to sent me a letter stating I was not accepted. It is important for any student attending high school to make school there number one priority but also focus on extra curricular activites that make them happy, being well-rounded is very important when applying to colleges. I am happy that I finally decided to take school and my future seriously because I am now on my way to becoming a registered nurse.

Oh, how I wish I could I got my GED at the age of 16 and had I known the what I know now I would have told myself to slow down to get a high school diploma. I would have also advised myself to start college immediatly and to never give in to the circumstances that you are handed to reach for more. Additional I would say that anything worth having takes hard work. However had I started college earlier I am not sure that I would have had the drive or motivation that I now have. Never the less i would have encouraged myself to start earlier and that there can be nothing negative about bettering yourself and furthering your education.

Try to get as involved as possible on campus because that is the best way to network as well as make friends.

The advice that I would give myself if I went back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior knowing what I know now about college, it would be that to take advantage of the time I have left for school to get all the help that I need to find scholarships and different financial opprotunities to pay for the college I want to go to. Despite the problems that I go through I need to know that I could be whatever I want to be depending on my college major even if someone thinks its a farfetched goal or job in the near future. If I believe in myself and put my mind to it, I could get far no matter if their is obstacles in my way that are big or small. I would also tell myself that in college there is always going to be an obstacle or a curve ball that come at me, I just have to know how to get passed it with whatever technique it maybe. Just remember to do all my work and focus on getting good grades when I am in college . Work comes first then play.

One of the most important things that I have learned while attending college is to redirect my priorities. Many people believe that college is a time in people’s lives to cut loose and have a good time. However, I have learned that it is not all fun and games. Although I am currently enjoying my time in college, I realize that the main objective is hard work and dedication. In addition, I have learned that nothing worthwhile in life is easy. There have been a few occasions where I have felt like giving up college. However, I realize that college is the best long term option. Developing a passion and being committed to what I am learning are essential aspects in obtaining my degree. Finally, I have learned to be more punctual. Over the course of my life, I have possessed a habit of being late for important events. However, college has helped neutralize this and turn me into a more dependable person. Being punctual is an essential aspect of being successful in the workforce. I believe that college has been exactly what I have needed to discard myself of my imperfect habits.

One of the most important thing that i really must emphasize is the fact that you really get to know who you are as a learner. This is one of the best experience so far only because i struggled soo much to find the best fit for me.when i finally found what i was good at, mt grades improved dramatically.

Attending college has a tremendous impact on the life of a student. Not only are great friendships formed with fellow classmates and teachers, but the material learned is chosen by the student and is actually of interest. In classes, a student is engaged more because the classes are actually appealing and exciting. Not to say that college isn’t hard work, because it is; but the satisfaction you receive after getting a good grade on a test or getting high marks during the semester are worth the hard work. College also opens the doors to so many extracurricular activities that a person may not have thought to participate in before. There are so many opportunities to get involved and to make a difference in the lives of others. College is necessary to attend because it sets a student up for their future, and allows them to successfully work towards their dreams one day at a time.

I received a lot of valuable experiences from this year of college. I met a diverse range of people as well as teachers. It was very valuable experience also to live away from home and I learned a lot about responsability. From the College itself i learned very important things to look for in future schools both good and bad. For example to find another school with great student support and many things to become involve in. Also, to find a school that is much more affordable especially after paying so much for one year and having many problems with the internet , elevators, hot water vandalism and the food. I would also look for a school in a much safer part of the city. The most important experince that was the most valuable was the work load and stress management skills that I gained this past year of college.

I have learned about the need to expand our minds and explore all the possibilities in this world. I have been able to begin to analyze things in life in a way I wasn't able to do before I went back to school. I also have a greater appreciation for hard work and dedication. I have also come to a deeper understanding of how post-secondary education is so vital in today's society. I would now encourage anyone to go to college after high school. I strongly believe in pursuing your dreams, following your passion. Attending college and doing your best to excel in everything you do will help you to fulfill your dreams; that's what I intend to do. I have grasped a second chance at fulfilling my dreams in life and I intend to pursue them and become an accomplished person. I will be remembered in decades to come for my contributions to society. I will leave the world a better place than when I found it. I appreciate the opportunity to compete for this award.
