Benedict College Top Questions

I am so proud of you with the suceess of high school, but there are many things that you need to know. The first thing you need to know is to look up more schools and apply to more schools. See which ones will offer you more money. Something else is that is very important is to take the SAT again, but before you do, make sure you study very hard. Yes, your friends are great but they will not help you get a better score. Also, do not worry about anyone else. Worry about your goals, because out of many of the people you grew up with only you and a few others will actually leave and go off to college. After researching more schools, also take the time to get feed back on the schools from alumni and current students. Most importantly, continue to look for scholarships. You can never have too many, and there are millions out there, all year long. When you get to college stay patient and put work first, because you are very bright and will do very well.

I have confidence in you. I know that if you stay focused and study hard you will achieve any and all goals you have set for yourself. Go out into the world and know that it is your oyster and yours for the taking. There is nothing you can't achieve if you apply yourself accordingly. Remember whats important and make the most of the experience. You can do this! Never give up and always give it your all. Good luck!

Considering when I was a senior in high school, I never would have thought that I would half to have a double lung transplant in 2010, I would explain to my senior self about the determination of being in college but also about how understanding the teachers are about the situation.The classes in college are very similar to classes in high school but there is more students that would be competeing against her and only the students that work their hardest on the homework would be able to receave the high grades that came easy for her in high school. As a student in college, I would let her know that there would be papers in english just like high school but the toppics would be deeper When it comes to being in a christian college, I would let her know how her church life would be connected with the classes and the camps or church activities would sometimes be required for specific classes and sometimes would even be used in papers. I would tell her that the main goal is to receive her degrea through prayer, studying, and the compassion of the teachers and leaders over the school.

What I knew then, what I know now… Knowing what I know now about college life, I should have been more social from the beginning. When I first attended my college, Benedict College, I had it in my mind I was not going to stay long. It was not the college I had initially planned to attend, but my father insisted that I go there because of the scholarship they offered me. I only went to class and then back to my room, which made my freshman year dull. When I returned home that summer, I declared to change my dull social life to a fresh, vibrant life for my sophomore year. That was all the motivation I needed and I accomplished it well. I went back to school with a new mentality, became more open with my peers, and I got involved with extracurricular activities. I took the initiative to get involved with my major that allowed me to gain a better rapport with my professors. I did not think that being social would have such a major impact on my life. Having your name out in your community in a positive way helps you and not hinders you.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there are a number of things that I would tell myself. The first being to job shadow the people in the job fields that I was interested in to see if I would like the job or not. I will be going into college as a junior this fall and I am just now choosing my major. Secondly, I would tell myself that I need to buckle down much harder than what I was doing. I did study, I turned my homework in, and I made good grades, but I feel like I should have worked a little bit harder; every person can always work harder than what they actually do. Lastly, I would tell myself to start applying for scholarships. My school didn't really inform me on scholarships until midways through my senior year. Then by that time, most of the deadlines were already met. I passed up many great opportunities for that. There isn't really anything you can tell yourself to get ready for college. It can be difficult, but it's defenitly worth it!

Talking to my high school senior self about the things I know now and the lessons I've learned, I'd be talking forever. But I'd tell myself the important things and it would probably go a little like this: Don't do enough to just get by in school. You're smarter than what you put on and all that effort you failed to put in then will be greatly needed in college now. I'd tell myself that not everyone is your friend and not everyone is going to appreciate you the way you do them. Don't be so quick to believe everything that is put in front of you. So keep a kind heart and a smile, but don't let anyone try to pull the wool over your eyes. Lastly, I'd tell myself that things do get rough and times will get hard, but you're a strong woman so keep your head up. Keep reaching for the stars and never settle for less, because your dreams are far too important for you to give up. I could only hope my high school self would listen, but knowing her... she will.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and educate myself about college life and making the transition into it, the first thing I would tell myself would be to believe that it isn't impossible to get into college and making the move into college isn't all that scary. With now completing my first semester of college I have gain knowledge that there are people around you to assist you went different trials that you may go through. I realized that you can't do everything on your own and must take in advice once in a while. Working as a team will become a important assest when going through college. During my senior year of high school this information would have been even more crucial to me. Overall I would want myself to be confident in where and what I wanted to do in college.

Looking back on my high school years i would definitely tell myself to focus a lot more in class. Being in college now, i know how important getting an education is. Letting my high school self know that i can achieve anything if i put all my focus and potential into what ever i am doing. In high school i never really thought i would be able to cut it in college. I would also tell myself to look for scholarships because they used to confuse me. I never knew how to apply for scholarships or what they really meant. I would say things to my high school self, but im glad i didnt because i have learned and experienced things for myself. All the things i said and did in high school are what made me who i am today and nobody can take that away from me.

I would tell myself to come prepared for the unexpected. Although it is cliche to say it is definitly true. The first year of college you will not know what will happen or who you meet. Alot of times who you meet your freshman year is who you will be with for the rest of your college carrer. Respect all faculty and staff. Some may look at is a kissing up to a teacher, but alot of times they will support you just because they see that you are trying and that you are trying to better yourself. Alot of faculty want to see you succeed, but at the same time it starts with the student and sometimes they wont come to you to make sure you succeed, you have to come to them.

If i could have go back to high school as my last year before coming to college, i would have study harder and take more notes and save those notes to come with me to college. the first couple of months of school was nothing bout things we had already done, before the end of school. But not looking back over things, it can slip your mind at times knowing you know it but can't refreash your mind. I would have try to leave with my gpa at a higher score so it could've benefit me more, and have a better chance of doing more things in college and paying less money to go.
