This would be because saving some money and possibly some time is very important. I would also find a college that is well advance in the area of interest that I would be pursuing in the future.

If I could give myself any advice it would be to make sure I look for scholarships all year round and never wait around. There is so much unused scholarship money and it's up to me as the striving college student to make sure that I try my best to get them. I waited until March of my high school senior year to look for scholarships and came up unsuccessful.

Some once said it "Your decisions today, determines your tomorrow? If I could go back to high school, I would advise myself to dig deeper to reach higher. I considered myself to be a good student, but I don?t think that I have maximized my full potential. I believe I could have better prepare myself for the national examinations, which would have opened up many doors for scholarships and great educational pursuits. Moreover, I believe that I should have developed better study habits, like a daily routine, instead of studying for exams only. I am so convinced that of the wise saying ?Practice makes perfect?! As a college student I sometimes struggle with maintaining good study habits, but if I had developed this habit during high school, I would master this vital discipline today. Lastly, I would have advised myself to makes the most of it, not to rush but to enjoy and savor every moment as a student that doesn?t need to consider ' How will I pay for my education?? Instead enjoy and pursue with intensity knowledge and greatness.

Know that you cannot give up on yourself because you're all you got. Know you are here for a reason and you are somebody's future. Do not let the influence of others stir you away from your goal. Never lower your standards for success. You have the power to exceed you knowledge beyond what your elders have and to enstill what you know in your future generation. Do not let anyone tell you, you can't or you won't, but rather you can or you will!

Stay focused and never give up.

Go with your first mind unless there is no way to go with it. I am not from florida but I moved to attend college there and going away for college was my initial plan.
