Benedict College Top Questions

If I could talk the my high school self, first I would tell her that college is the best time of her life, but it is something she will have to take it seriously. She might have been able to get away with procrastinating during high school, but that is not going to cut it when you later on. She is going to have to work hard and attend all her class everyday because the difference between going to class now and going to class in college is one has the choice on whether or not to go to class. I would tell her that all because you made A?s before does not mean you will now. You are going to struggle and it?s going to be hard; that you will fail. But that is when you have to stop and wonder exactly why you wanted to attend college in the first place. I would tell her that she is going to realize that this is about her and that she has to step up her game if she wants to achieve her dream because no one else can do it for her, only she can.

I would tell myself that going away to college helped me much more than being at home. Being at home and going to school was too much work for me and I had too many outside school issues interfering with my academics but now that I live on campus and away from home my grades are improving and I'm learning how to prioritize school, work, play and finances.

When I was in high school, I was a good student. I had high honors awards and was at the top of my class. But towards the end of my senior year I began to get relaxed and blew alot of things off, and was in danger of losing my scholarship to school. If I had the chance to o back in time and talk to myself as a high school student, I would tell myself that everything I do in high school is goin to affect me in college. I would tell myself to stay focused and not fall into any tempations such as; females, friends, and becoming too relaxed in my school work. I would tell myself that even though things may be coming to an end, stay strong and finish everything out. I would improve my attitude and not be so arrigant towards my work in thinking that i knew everything that was going on. I would also tell myself not to blow things off until the last minute. My main problem in high school was that I became too arrigant with my intellegence and it caused me alot of problems that took a while to fix.

I would prepare myself while I am in high school for the college life. I would tell myself that when you attend college on-campus you are an independent student and are basically on your own in the world. I would tell myself not to get caught up in the many off campus activities that are going on in this world today. I would tell myself to study hard and be committed to being an obedient, proactive and independent student due to when you are in college you have yourself to depend on. I would also tell myself to try to find a mentor while I am in high school that could lead me on a path of achievement when I do attend a college. I would prepare myself academically, sociably and spiritually for the experience yet to come.

If I could go back to high school I would tell myself to stay focused on more than just graduating. Although graduating is important education does not stop after high school,it continues on to college. So I would of told myself to start applying for scholarships because it causes less stress on you and your family about your finances. Also if I could go back and tell myself to get involved with my community a lot more to add it on my resume' because it looks really good to boards of admission of the different colleges you apply to. Finally if I could go back to myself as a high school senior, I would have told myself to take as many college coarses as a senior as I could because it creates less credits you have to take as a college student.

Pay more attention and really know what you want to major and stick to a plan. I mean still have fun but be focus!

I would tell the younger me to date more in college. Keep your standards and values high. And get Julius (the finest guy on campus) to fall deeply into love with you. Dont be afraid to stand out and stand up for your causes. Be friendly and more social. Your first year is all about you, not the neighborhood, the church, of the family. YOU- and your happiness comes first. I know you won't do anything I wouldn't do. Be good and be happy.

TAKE YOUR TIME. RESEARCH THE COLLLGE AND ITS HISTORY. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WHAT YOU WANT. DONT TAKE ANY SHORTS. ATTEND THE OPEN HOUSES AND ASK QUESTIONS!

I would say that make sure that the college that they chose will benefit them in the long run. Also, look at the teacher to student ratio.

Parents don't choose your child or children college let them make there own choice it is there life to live not yours. Students choose your school wisely and know what you want to do in life and make sure that the school that you choose have your major.
