Aurora University Top Questions

Short and sweet. It's always tempting to put off responsibility in exchange for a good time. However, there is ample time post graduation to have fun and enjoy life. Make those individuals a priority, who make you a priority. You will get out of learning what you put in so study something you truly enjoy. Listen to elders but be cautious. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. Your decision to serve the country by participating in your institutions ROTC program was one of the best you ever made. Give your all in everything you do in both your professional life, and your personal life. If you ever start to worry about the path you are on just remember the image of me (standing before you).

Advice to Meagan as a high school senior: Apply for as many scholarships as possible! Even if you think there’s a small chance of winning, put your best effort into every application. Scholarships are important and can secure your educational plans. Once you are in college, the last thing you want to worry about is money or how you’re going to pay for school. This could be distracting and could discourage you from following your dreams. To prevent this from happening, search online and you will find all kinds of scholarships, also, ask your teachers or counselors about scholarships to apply for. Have your transcripts ready to send because some scholarships require them, but don’t ever pay for a scholarship application. Have your application proofread by peers and teachers before you send it, because you may have trouble noticing your own mistakes. Make time for these tips and it will pay off later on.

When i was in high school i was not sure what i want to do in the future. I went to university to study Hotel and Restaurant management. Then I decided i do not want to work in this industry and i decided to study something else. i even wanted to go to law school but many people tald me i should choose something else. Now I study Accounting in Aurora University and I think I made a perfect decision. I would give device to myself and everyone else who is in high school and thinking to go to college that they have to think what they really want to do in the future and choose a major thet they will enjoy to study in college and will love to work in this industry. Many students now choose major because they think it will give them the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future, but they do not think they will enjoy or not. I think students schoulf persue the education in the major thet they will enjoy to work in but not the profeccion thet will gurantee a high incime.

If I could go back as a high school senior I would tell myself to make huge changes in my education decisions. I would have had myself apply for scholarships. The reason I did not apply for scholarships back when I was a high school senior or before then was because I was scared. I now know there is nothing to be afraid about college. The classes are more difficult, but more interesting and captivating for me. College is really enjoyable. If I was senior I would know there is nothing to afraid about. I would have made sure to I applied for scholarships and not go to school that just offers an associates because I scared I could not afford a university. There are so many scholarships out there I should have applied for, that would have covered a university tuition. I would have told myself that because now friends' that go to big universities have a lot more interesting and fun stories to tell then I do. I would have told not be scared and really apply myself to finding scholarships and a university I want to go to because I really wish I would have now.

If I could could go back in time I would tell myself to graduate from a regular high school and not get a GED. I would also look for more scholarships so that I don't have to worry about it in the future.

I would first go back and tell myself to read! I never liked to read and there is so much reading in college it is not even a joke. If you do not keep up with the readings you will definetly be lost in class and fail quizzes. I would then give myself the advice to get my drivers license! I did not know how important it was to have a drivers license until I went to school. My school is small and it is very hard to find rides to the local grocery store. This applys to big schools as well. I am sure you can find a ride easier but when you need time to yourself and just want to go home, having a car and your license is the best thing to just have. The final thing I would tell myself is to make sure I go into college picking a major of undecided. I thought I wanted education but their is so much going on with the educational system that I changed my major. If you are sure then be absolutely sure or else be undecided. Thats the advice I would give myself back in highschool.

If I could go back in time to being a high school senior, I would definitely want to attend more orientations and activities that my university hosts for incoming freshmen. Although I was very active in high school, I was nervous and scared about college. I was shy in attending the activities the university hosted since I felt so attached to high school and my friends. I felt scared in knowing I had to start all over and make new friends. I had so many questions running through my mind like what if I don't make friends or what if college is hard and I fail? Now that I'm in college I realized that we have to be open to new oportunities because we will learn so much from it and about ourselves. My university has provided me with a great college experience. Though my classes and organization that I am in I have formed great relationships, and I am proud of where I am today. Although graduation is quickly approaching, I am excited for the next chapter in my life. I have learned to not be scared, and instead be open to the opportunities life gives me.

I would tell myself to stop hanging out with people who would rather chase a high than chase a goal. That I am testibly smart enough to get an engineering degree and that I should follow that dream from the start. I would like to let myself know that hard work is the way to happiness and not the enemy. I would also like to tell him the proper weight lifting techniques and to always wear my ankle braces while playing ball. This to avoid future injuries. I would also try to implore him to not just go with the flow and the easiest path that his friends go on. It's not the correct on and won't lead the best possible outcomes. FInally I'd tell him to start having relationships sooner and stop with the meaningless dating. All this just so I could get to happiness a little bit quicker.

Knowing about the college life now, i would immediately convince my past self to apply for scholarships right away and in great quantities. Graduating at rank 11 and the top 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my high school, applying for scholarships should have been a given, but instead I neglected the idea and left it up to finanicial aid to support my college endevors; a mistake that I wish I could change at any moment. With scholarships I could have potentially recieved, I could have earned enough extra money to place into my savings, which would then be funding my future schooling when I pursue my Masters Degree in Chemsitry in order to become a pharmacist. Another piece of advice I would give to myself would be to take every class as if it were the hardest class on my schedule, regardless of difficulty. I was able to finish my first year of college with a 4.0, but I felt like some work I completed could have been done better if I had gone into the year with that type of mindset.

Angelica, please remember that you need to set priorities. Do not procrastinate. Homework and studying come before anything. Work is important because I understand you need to pay for college, but remember once you receive your diploma no one can take it back. The knowledge you will receive in the four years of college you will always have. Also save up money, just because you have a bill statement from your college or university it does not mean that is what you will pay for. There is still the costs of books, extra food, shampoo, other expenses that are not shown in the bill statement. Do not forget about gas. You are going to be driving from school and to work, save money. You will go out and you will want to spend money. Remeber while you are in college different expenses may pop up, like medical expenses, cold medicine expenses and such. Be ready for a long semester of school, work, homework, social life, drama, friends, parents, and much more that will in it's totality lead to a lot of stress. But do not fret, you will make it. Just stay positive and you will be fine.
