If i had the chance to go back in time the first thing i would tell myself is to get more involed with community service and school activities. Knowing this could have helped me gain more scholarships and grants. The second thing i would tell my self is that i needed the best of grades i could get and not to mess around because alot of colleges takes a look at your transcript to see if you are worth having at their college. I would also ask the community for local scholarships and how i can apply for them.

When you go to Cleveland State University in the fall of 1973, take it seriously; your current attitude will result in your dropping out. Before you do, you’ll get poor grades that will follow you for life. It’s called a permanent record for a reason. When you finally do go back to school almost forty years from now, the grades at CSU will drag you down. Even though you’ll get straight As at Polk State College, join Phi Theta Kappa honor society and become the chapter vice president, your GPA at Cleveland State will prevent you from receiving the highest honors that would have otherwise been within reach. I know that life with just a high school diploma looks rosy now, but those days are limited more than you’d like to believe. You can have a full and bountiful life if you’ll just be mature enough to take advantage of the opportunity your parents are willing and eager to give you. Make them proud – you know you can.

I would tell myself to begin looking at the colleges that I would like to attend in my Freshman year and strongly position myself academically for that career field. I would encourage myself to take every opportunity to volunteer and be engaged in my local community and high school. Also, it is important for high school students to take every grade seriouly and to carefully guard your GPA and class rank, because it can be very beneficial to you as you began to apply to different colleges. I would encourage myself to be creative, engaged and assertive, but to still enjoy my youth. I would find classes at local colleges that would help to prepare me for the career field that I've chosen and find others in my industry or related field and shadow them or serve as an apprentice or intern. Finally, I would make sure that I am financially secure to enjoy the best college experience possible for me. I would work smarter, not harder and invest monetarily in my own education. Every penny is as important as every dollar! It would be foolish to waste one cent.

College its a whole new experience that will take you to places in life , where you want to go. But its very hard. You have to keep your mind concentrated on your studies because no one is going to push you to do your best. It's up to you to make the best of your decisions and make them based on where you want to succeed in life and what your goals are for the future. Its nothing like high school at all. Your responsible for your education. No one is going to be there to check if your working on your essay, homework, or projects that's all on you. Make good choices and never give up no matter how hard things get, becuase your college education is going to open so many doors for you in the future

“Letter to Me” by Brad Paisley has been the anthem of my high school career. “And oh you got so much going for you going right. But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night.” This is my favorite phrase in the song, at 17 years old I wasn’t focused on the big picture in life, I was consumed with thoughts of “what am I going to wear this weekend?” and “who am I going to hang out with?” If I could give myself advice I would say, cherish the time spent with friends and family, don’t take the family dinners or movies for granted. They won’t always be there. I would tell myself that I think about those moments every day. I would tell myself that from here on out everything is going to be different. Your studies are up to you, it’s your life and you need to take control because no one is going to do it for you. Everything is in your hands now, make your choices carefully. If I could have just given myself one piece of advice it would have made a world of difference.

It is March of your senior year of high school and you are spending more time with your anatomy book then you are with your friends. You have questioned whether the optional class was worth it, or if you should have taken the easier route so you could spend the last semester with your friends. I have been to college now, two years at The University of Nebraska at Lincoln and now beginning at Bryan College of Health Sciences. College life is different than high school because grades are not inflated by homework as they are in highschool. In order to succeed in college you need to have good study habits. The study habits you create now in high school will be expressed through your college grades. You currently have great study skills because you are motivated to reach your goal of becoming a nurse. Continue studying, even though the temtation to see your friends is strong, your motivation will pay off. To answer your question, yes the difficult class is worth it. You are forming study habits now that will carry on through college and help you to achieve your long term goal. Keep up the hard work.

In high school I was one of twenty-seven students in my graduating class. My small community could never prepare me for my freshman year at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. I moved into a dorm that had more students in it than my hometown had people. I went through sorority rush in the hopes to meet new people but ended up not pledging to a sorority because it felt foreign to be surrounded by so many people that I didn’t know anything about. If I could go back and give myself advice, however, I would tell myself to allow the changes that felt foreign to me. I would say that meeting a lot of new people all at once is a good thing and that I need to meet people with different experiences and different backgrounds. I would tell myself that the beginning of my freshman year is an opportunity to make new friendships that can last a lifetime. And lastly, I would tell myself that most other incoming freshmen are just as nervous as I am and it’s an opportunity to enjoy the new changes taking place in my life.

Hey there,You haven’t met me, but you will. I am you after all. I know; crazy right? But who else would know about when you broke grandma M’s bird clock when you knocked it off the wall with the basketball. Don’t worry, it isn’t as important to her as you thought. Some advice, spend more time with her; you’ve only got a few good years left with her. Mom’s going to need you more, but you’ll enjoy spending time with her. Things are going to get a little rough, the love you have for the most important people in your life is going to be strongly tested, don’t worry, you’ll make it. You’re excited to start school at the university this fall but keep your mind open because a few times you’re going to change directions about what you really want. You’ll never believe that you settle on nursing, but you’ll see because the next three years will lead you directly into becoming who you’re supposed to be – me. Love,MeganP.S. Everyone's proud of you, even if you don’t know it.

The most important part about your college experience will be learning how to become a well-rounded individual. Putting 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} into school is essential in college if you wish to succeed. Homework can be difficult and time consuming, but college only lasts four years and the time you put into school work will pay off after graduation. Building relationships is as equally important as academics. Learning how to communicate and work well with others will pay great dividends in your professional and adult life. In order to build relationships and fine tune these skills you must be proactive about getting involved with your school and community. Finding various clubs or community activities that strike your interest will help you grow as an individual while enjoying yourself at the same time. Although college is a very busy time, making the best of the short four years that it lasts is vital. College is a time of personal growth and independence. It is during these four years that you will learn about yourself and develop your character. Capitalize on every opportunity that you are given and embrace the challenges as well as the successes that come along with your college experience.

The advise that I would give myself as a Senior would be to have followed the school that I really wanted to go to. I would have told myself to go to a better school and not worried about any financial needs, I would also tell myself to pick any college. I would have said that I should go anywhere in the world I wanted and looked at other colleges instead of just Missouri.i also would have found more ways to pay for college. A tip that I would have given myself would be to focus very hard the first semester because it means the most, and also that I dont need to work the rest of my life and should jsut focus more on school work.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that life does not revolve around high school. When you go to college, nobody cares about what kind of grades you receive, how good you were in sports, or what kind of friend you had. When you go to college, you find people who are just like you. You will find what you are passionate in and you will make it your career. Best of all, your last name means nothing to the people in college. Live life and enjoy it! Stop trying to impress the people who do not matter; Be yourself!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to relax and enjoy the wonders of learning. Learning can open many doors for my future. I say this because I have recently realized that it is okay to want to experience many different jobs in my future. I do not want to limit myself to one way of life. There are plenty of opportunities out there for me to enjoy. I love trying new things. Which brings me to the next thing that I would tell myself, which is to have more confidence in life so that if I want something I go get it, rather than thinking of all the reasons that I should hold back and not pursure something that could change my life dramatically. Life is about learning. Learning helps me to be the best that I can be. If I would have told myself these things my senior year, I would already be more successful today. But I do not fear the fact that I have just recently realized this, I take it as an even bigger challenge in life that I will definitely overcome.

Keep working hard and strive for big goals. Anything can become true if you put your mind to it. College is more than just going to class in homework. You must be able to take responsiblity and attend classes. Do not lose your hard work ethic and good study skills.

I would've told myself to apply for more scholarships than I did. Being in the Army National Guard disqualified me for quite a few of the scholarships I did apply for but I didn't worry because I thought they would take care of it. I'm now scrambling to get financial aid in order because my college exceeds the tuition assistance the army offers.
