Del Mar College Top Questions

I would apply for more scholarships and grants. I wasn't very proactive as a highschool student because the material wasn't hard so there was no motivation. Because of that I was too lazy to apply for the scholarships offered. Now that I had to come back home after a year of being away for college because of financial reasons I realize that I should have made use of those opportunities. If I had, then I would still be at my first choice college instead of the community college at home.

Entering college in Fall 2008 I honestly felt stupid. I felt that so many more people were ahead of me. I would have told myself to actually pay attention more in high school instead of skimming though. High school doesnt seem important until you get the chance to attend to college. Then you realize that it's 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} different and it makes you wish alot of things were different for you in high school. I've noticed that my school wasnt' the best at teaching us. My english class everyone on the first day talked about the books they read in their high school classes, and I honestly could remember just one. I always have my professors ask me, didn't you learn this in high school? My relpy is honestly no. I feel bad I didnt learn much and I feel like it's my fault that I didnt learn it. I wish I could go back in time to try and focus more in high school. Also I wish I could give advice to future college students saying to pay attention in school cause it will pay off.
