Ashley

I wish I had a better idea of the order in which I should have taken my classes. It becomes difficult when you are down to the last few classes and are cramming in all of the hard ones at the same time, along with working part time and trying to maintain a good GPA while going to school full time. I also wish I knew how much money it was going to cost all together, because living and tuition are not cheap, so I would have worked more in high school if I knew.
