Creighton University Top Questions

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have so much to say. I would tell myself a lot to save myself from having regrets once I got to college. The first thing I would let myself know is to apply for every scholarship available to me because that is something I should have focused on back then. Every senior also goes through "senioritis" in which we are ready to give up on schoolwork, but I would tell myself to work even harder to ensure success. The transition into college is difficult when you are so used to being important in high school so I would tell myself to get involved right away to ease the pains of transitions. I didn't make enough friends my first year of college, but I think that I could have if I had tried harder. I would warn myself that someone I loved was going to hurt me while I was in college. I would have kept my heart from breaking and affecting my schoolwork. Overall, I would tell myself to stay focused on my goals!

If I were to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior I would say "you have no idea what you want to do with your life". Often times it seems that high schoolers think they have their lives figured out when it fact it is highly unlikely that you will be the same person you were in high school when you graduate from college. College is an opportunity for extreme change and growth. For once you are not monitored by your family and your community. You are free to think for yourself and discover how you truly view the world around you. Those views that you develop through going to college are what help you decide what kind of person you want to be and what exactly it is that you want to accomplish as an adult. If I met myself as a high school student today I would hardly know the girl that I was staring at. Aside from our similarities in physical features, our views on life would drastically different. As a soon to be college graduate student I feel that I have finally found the manual on how to be my own person.

I am the experience life in High and College school. I have been faced challenges for the Deaf people and other Orphans , Vulnerable Children their suffere about fees due to poor parents and Death parents durind war or Death of HIV/AIDS. We're africans people and we still in trouble of our Educations. So far the Disability are challenge with their accessible education opportunities. I have been researched life for the Deaf in Schools based in Rwanda and Uganda. I have been pain in my Heart about education for the Deaf people in Rwanda. There are not equal right for Hearing people. The Government doesn't give special school for the Deaf there are still challenges with the Teachers due to teachers doesn't know Language for the Deaf . For Uganda are imporovement schools for the Deaf but they still challenges with the Teachers due to Sign Language communication. I am in talking issue for the Disabilities persons education. Education for all young people around in African are still challenges with education due to financials. Some of many african like many children but failed to manage all the children. This bring us problems in college. Thank you!!!!

I would have chosen to go to school at my home state, or a state closer to home, and one that cost less than the one I go to now. I really thought I was going to be a doctor and all my doctors recommended Creigton, but I ended up dropping that career and went into Health Admin. With the economy, I should choose a school that my parents and myself could financially afford since right now I have taken on so many loans to help pay for my education and that fact is really taxing on all of us.

College is an amazing time. You will have the best times of your life while you're there and create amazing, lasting memories. Be outgoing. Talk to those people you are nervous around, because believe me, you will be happy you did. You will meet some people you will be close to, and others that you won't. You might be surprised at who you meet, and how it happens. You will fall in and out of love, and your goals might change, so don't be too set in anything. Be flexible. Do what you love, and cherish every second. It is a time that will be both frustrating and wonderful at the same time. You will love it. Just make that initial effort to connect with people, go out, have fun, and it will be well worth it. Try new things, because if you don't try them now you might not ever get to. Above all, enjoy yourself. You will discover things about yourself that you never knew, but you will love that new you. Have fun!

College, much like life, is about working hard and not giving in to the temptation to quit. Like a bird or an aircraft school must be maintained in order to fly and without a pilot just as useless.

I would tell myself to continue to push through senior year. Also, to try and take a couple introductory college courses to become more prepared.

College is similar to high school; you attend classes and are given homework, such as reading and writing. My advice to you is whatever you have learned in the Advancement Via Individual Determination college preparatory class, you continue using it in college. You must be organized, maintain a binder and keep all your work in it, you might need those papers later to help you study for exams. Keep taking notes in all your classes so you can refer to them when you are preparing for an exam. Prioritize your work, do work that is important first than do the rest later. Keep a planner and write all your assignments and due dates, schedule times so you can get your work done. Finally, the last real advice is to keep your chin up, and stay focused. Do not let any of the doubts of your family or friends get in the way of you getting a good education. Just like that Disney quote ?keep moving forward.? Do not focus on the negative thoughts; focus on the positive ones, the ones that will help you become a physical therapist. You can do it!

When I found Creighton I really thought that Creighton had found me. I really believe that the school picks the person. Remember that finding a school shouldn't matter who has gone theire (parents) or who is going there (friends/boyfriend/girlfiend). The school you choose really reflects you. I chose a school that I didn't really know a lot about until a decided to take a tour and I fell in love. Just remember to always consider your options. If you don't consider everything you may be choosing a school for a wrong reason and that just leads to a college experience that is not desired and maybe even another year of searching later to transfer. Making the most of your college experience is very important, and a lot of it has to do with being at the school you want. Once you choose a school you really want to be at you will be more open to trying new things and meeting the other people who have chosen the school with you.

Talk to students; they aren't trying to sell you anything and aren't afraid to tell you the truth.
