Concordia University-Wisconsin Top Questions

The thing that I would stress to my high school self the most would be the importance of time management. Procrastonation is really the only thing that I regret about college and if I was able to go back in time and do one thing over I would try to focus more on assignments at an appropriate time. Even though I did get good grades through college I woul dbeen able to have more freedom and been able to experience more if I organized my time more effectivly and made a plan of when I would finish my work. Fortunatly my future wife helped me with that later in college, but your freshman GPA still has an effect on your overall graduating GPA.

If I could go back in time I would tell my self to finish high school no matter how hard it is. Getting your GED is not all that is cracked up to be. Your diploma carries you a lot further in life. The transition into college is a lot harder as an adult. You feel diffrently about going to school with people who are just getting out of high school. Plus how much do you remember from high school. There are entrance test that you have to take, and if you do not pass them then there are classes you have to take just to get in to the college classes that you want to take to get your degree. The transition from high school to college can be very stress full especially if your moving away from home. Doing it as an adult while working so you can support a family is even harder. So my advice to myself would be stay in school and go to college before you have a family.

Get started early! Do your research, apply for scholarships, ask for recommendations. Go the extra mile to make sure the school you are thinking about attending really is the one for you. You can never be too prepared for something this important. The transition between high school and college is a scary but exciting one and you want to be as ready as you can. After you are accepted and choose which school you want to attend, start making friends right away. Use social media to meet people in your new class and start looking for a roommate. Whatever happens happens, but if you are ready for anything do not worry about everything.

If I were to go back in time and talk to my senior self I would tell her not to worry. College while challenging is a great experience and is not as scary as you are imagining it. Concordia’s facility is friendly and care about you. They are always willing to help and want you to succeed. Living on campus is a great decision. You are going to meet many wonderful people and enjoy every minute of it. Do not be afraid to make that decision because you are moving away from home. It is part of growing up and is not as bad as you think. Your classes will be hard and the teachers will expect more from you, however Concordia provides many different opportunities to find help. They provide tutors and the teachers offer office hours where they are available to help you. They also provide you with their contact information and encourage you to contact them whenever you need help. Do not be afraid, you have made the right decision and going to build long lasting relationships with your fellow students as well as teachers.

I would say, obtaining a degree is vital to your future. Don't waste your time and neglect your education as it would be to your advantage and the well being of your family in the future. An education can take you to great places and open doors of opportunity to you. The frienships you make will be ones that last a lifetime and the experiences you have will assist in your maturity and growth.

I would tell myself that I should have ignored the bullies more and focused more on my grades and that there is a light at the end of the four year tunnel. I would also told myself that I should belive more in me and have more confidance in the things I do.

Okay Demetrius, this is your last year of high school, lets not slack this year and get involved in extracurricular activities so you can make a good impression on the colleges, and plus it looks good on your college application, you know what they say, the more the better! You should also try and take some AP classes so you don't have to take some of the courses when you get to college and plus you can also get a head start if you do well on the AP test. Lets also try and make sure we know how to take good notes now so we can prepare for tests and quizzes and get the most out of the lessons so were nice and organized. When you go to bed make sure that you get a good nights rest so you can get up nice and early and have time to prepare for class. It would also be nice to organize the night before so that you know that your not missing anything that you need for class the next day. I hope these tips help you in your college endeavors.

As a high school senior, i want to say that life will get fun after you enter the college. Not in the sense that you are gonna be fooling around and do nothing: of coarse there is gonna be a lot of homework, but all of it will pay you back, as you are gonna have more hours for the homework than how much you have being in school. Plus you will get to choose which classes you want to take this year, and guess what? - you get to choose at what time to have your classes!! In addition college is the place where you will be able to meet people from a lot of different places: people from different states as well as different countries. World opens up a lot bigger to you when you start going to college, as you realize that there are much bigger things than just Algebra II. College is the place where you enter the real world and they teach you there how to solve real world problems - not how much apples are left after you ate one. But, they will teach you how to do brain sergery and how to deal with bancruptcy.

I would advise myself to be prepared to study. Prepare to read the text book from cover to cover. I would also advise to make a schedule. The schedule should include time for study, work out, work, friends, and relaxation. Having a schedule can help maintain focus and not become lazy. Next, I would advise to not eat so much. Having the freedom from parental cooking can lead to an excess of eating. This eating does nothing but add on the pounds. It is also easier to eat unhealthy. Make sure to remember to eat the daily servings of the fruits and vegtables. Lastly, I would advise to always have fun. The college years are not only for studying, but also for making the best memories a person could have. Study just as much as you have fun.

I would definitely go back and tell myself to work a million times harder than I did. I regret a lot of the things I did within my first year of high school as I was still making up for it when I was a junior. I was able to pull my GPA up inch by inch every year, but I realize now that I could have done so much better. I would also advise myself that I needed to get a job. At 18, I still have never had a job and really wish that I would have taken advantage of the opportunity sooner. Lastly, I would tell myself that I probably should have planned better for college. This year, I had to go to Concordia University when I didn't want to. This school year, I am transferring to Arizona State University. During high school, I wish that I would have saved money for this as it's expensive for out of state students. Five years ago, I wouldn't have believed it if I saw where I am now. Sure it's not terrible, but I wish I would have done the work to do better.

The one piece of advice I would give to my senior self would be to stick it out and keep your head raised. Senior year may not be the most fun, or best year of your life but it does get better. Despite the disappointments of not getting to play sports because of my bad knee I would tell myself to hold on and continue to fight not only in sports but in school where I lost motiation to study and really learn. I would tell myself to finish highschool strong and not give up because being a highschool senior is not the end of the world, as there is so much more that God has planned for not only my life but the lives around me and if i mope and pout about all the disappointments and failures in life then no one benefits from my perspective. Look for ways to help other people in your new position. So you may not get to hit the ball but you can inspire those who do get to by your actions on and off the field. Remember to live your life the way God wants you to.

First and formost, a college student must commit themselves to college. This means attending every class, handing in every assignment on-time and accurately. There are no wake-up calls, nobody reminding anyone to turn in homework, and nobody to tell you to get to class. You're on your own. Next, if you live on your own, find a roommate and live as cheap as possible. Less spending means more money to do other things, or relax. It's easier to work less and relax instead of working more and stressing out over a lack of sleep, a lack of time to do homework, and so on. Finally, time can be your friend or your enemy. Enjoy your time in college. Get a job on campus so you can spend extra time on campus. Get involved with campus activities. Have fun, because you won't be young again.

By the time I was a High School Senior I had determined the school I would be going to and my major. Looking back I would relax and use the opportunity to check out more schools before making my decision. I was gald that I had taken a course that inclued real life exposure to the field I was planning on entering.

Relax....just a little, would be the first thing that I would tell my senior self. I have always been a little worrier and knowing what I know now I could go back and relieve my past self with some comforting words so that my heart would stop beating out of my chest everytime I thought about starting college. I also said "just a little", because being on top of your game in college is always better then waiting last minute for everything. Getting everything in place, down to where your classes are will take off some of the stress and help you stay focus and calm. After doing so well my first semester in college, I had a moment of "Wow! I really can do this." So to go back and let myself know a little in advance that everything will be awesome and to enjoy the ride that college puts you on. Always staying on track, but letting go and having that stomach dropping feeling every once and a while will make you stronger inside and out.

Mary, you are a pretty decent person. I'm not going to deny it. But sometimes, you get just a little cocky. Take it down a notch, kiddo. When you get to college, everything is going to change. There are going to be people who are better than you. There's no point in trying to prove your superiority, because you won't be superior. In high school, you're used to being the Bible guru, for example. That won't be the case at Concordia. There will be pastor's kids galore, along with quite a few church work majors like yourself. If you want to be a leader, if you want to get ahead of the game, you will have to work for it. You're not a stranger to work, so I think you'll figure it out. Speaking of figuring things out, don't limit yourself. There are so many opportunities for you at Concordia if you just look around. Nursing home ministry, the children's play, running in the top seven, leading devotions, writing puppet shows - just to name a few. Most of all, be yourself. That much, I know you can do.

I have been more successful in my career since attending Columbus State Community College. My co-workers have seen me advance in my medical skills since taking classes plus my confidence in myself and my abilities have increased as well. I am also more aware of things going on around me in my work and I believe I have grown as a person. I am looking forward to completing my education at Columbus State and moving on to another University where I can learn more which will lead to better skills, more competency in my field and more confidence in myself and my abilities.

Through Concordia, I am getting a good education. This is what is valuable to me. Professors are great at preparing students for careers. I have been able to choose the career path I want to follow and have learned much about this area. I feel that the education I am getting through Concordia is better than the education I would receive through many other schools.

When i first came to Concordia University Wisconsin, i was a bit timid or afraid of the unknown. Concordia has become a huge part of my life, not only because i am a ful time student, but also because it has helped to shape and mold me into the person who i am today. My college experience to this date has been unlike many others i believe. I pay for college mysef, so money for me is never something i take for granted. My freshmen year, i worked three jobs and took twenty one credits, and now this year i am once again taking twenty one credits, but working four jobs this time. Apart from the learning and my demanding schedule, Concordia means everything to me. I have learned information and gained knowledge that no one will ever be able to take away from me. My teachers have been there for me when times are tough, and i have made friends whom i wish to keep for life. Overall, my college experience has been worthwhile, a journey that i cherish and make the best out of. I am eager to see what my future has in store for me.

I've never been to college before,but i'm looking forward to a wonderful and life changing experience for me and my family.I would be the first one in my family to ever attend college and hopefully my 2 sons will follow my footsteps.If it's the lords will i would like for my mother to see me go to college and graduate before she leaves this place.That's why it's so important and valuable to me to attend in a great college and be very successful.

It has helped me turn my life around. And be finacially independant
