Central Ohio Technical College Top Questions

Honestly, it starts before being a senior, as a junior I really wish I had started searching for scholarship opportunities. They seem to be the only answer to my education financial need right now. I would start by encouraging myself saying “In a world where you can be anything, be yourself!” Then I would know it was me who was talking. I would continue by pointing out the good things I am doing that may be a lot of work now but worth it in the end, such as: volunteering at the hospital, operation military kids, and keeping a good GPA. These things will help prepare me for scholarship applications and open up other opportunities to continue my higher education along the way. As a college student it is very hard not to get bogged down with the weight of college debt amongst your studies. I would urge myself to take the time and apply for just one new scholarship a day, in order to get as many as possible and pay for my higher education, making it so I don’t have to worry about being in debt for the next twenty years or more.

If I could go back in time and give my high school self advice, I would tell myself to take school more seriously. After graduating high school I did not jump right into college, instead I decided to work. This was a tremendous learning experience for me. I now know how vital continuing my education truly is.

go to college now don't delay for 15 years go now and it will all be worth it.

I would say to myself, "Don't worry about getting a fulltime job right away. Enjoy your time as a normal eighteen year old kid, and concern yourself with money after you have graduated. It seems like it should be really important to be making 25k per year as an eighteen year old, but the money honestly doesn't make up for the experiences you will miss out on. P.S. Do your homework in a timely basis rather than the night before it's due..."

keep in mind that it's okay if you decide against your major. there is no need to feel pressured into anything. give it a realistic try and see if it works out. college is not as hard as people make it seem sometimes, if you really put your mind to it you can do it. remember, you're going to college for noone besides yourself and you should always keep in mind that this is only a very small time period in your life. enjoy high school while it lasts, but don't be afraid of college, it really isn't that bad.

I would tell myself that college is what I make of it. College life is very different from high school and living at home with your parents. They will not be there to make you go bed or to check you homework. I would remind myself that it will be up to me to go to class and study. You have alot more freedom in college and I would tell myself that it is my responsiability and mine alone to make sure I get the grades that I know I can get. I would also let it be known that college can be very expensive and hard for some parents to pay, so don't throw your parents money away. I would tell my self to get involed in a group or club this is a good way to make friends and better yourself as a person. College can be fun, exciting, and a new adventure take advantage of this oppuritunty don't waste it .

I would tell myself, "Make the best grades you can. Aim for A's but don't stress out too much. As long as you try your best you will succeed. College isn't only about educational learning, you learn a lot about yourself, your friends, and life in general. Don't take anything for granted, and live life the way you want to."

If I could go back in time I would tell myself to choose a college based on the academic reputation of the school and not choose a school just because my friends are going there. I would tell myself to work hard and apply myself so that I could fulfill all of my career aspirations and be ready for the real world.

I would tell my self to go ahead and finish school because trying to do it with four kids makes the work even harder. then be careful with your credit because it will help you with funds for college in the future.

I would tell myself to stay focused and take all the college prep classes i could that year so i would have a jump start on my career and the load would be much lighter on me in the end for doing so.....I would remind myself that by doing so i could work in the filed of choice and be happy with my job because its what i chose to do but not had to do just for money and a good life..
