Eastern Florida State College Top Questions

The best advice that i could give myself is to not waste any time after high school and start with the college life and education as soon as possible. it is so easy to just say that "i'll do it next semester", but it is so hard to do it. The best thing to do is just to start early so i can finish my education early. If i would have started right after high school , I could of be done with college already.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior, I would tell myself to regularly visit my counselor in order to keep up with my progress/grades. I would also tell myself to participate in community events as a volunteer to get credit hours. Most of all though, I would tell myself to have more focus on school and have a detailed plan to succeed in college as opposed to putting my job as my top priority.

Go away to college and marry rich!! Just kidding but times are tough and you need to have a college education. Dont underestimate yourself you are just as good as the next. Set your goals high and go for it!

Ashley, do not feel the pressure to go directly to a four year university! It is alright that you go to brevard community college first and make an easier transition for yourself into college. No one will think any less of your academic abilites as long as you maintain your GPA. You need to do what is best for YOU, not anyone else. This includes your parents and friends Ashley! If you give in to the pressure and force yourself to go to USF, you will only end up at BCC because you are not cut out for the university campus life, at least not yet. Please give BCC a try for two years and let yourself become adapted to the college classrooms and workload. Theres nothing to be scared about because everyone loves you and will be behind you every step of the way, no matter what! As mom always said "Dreams Do Come True" and yours will eventually, but don't try to rush it just so you can "fit it." Taking it slowly will only benefit you more in your future girly! Oh and don't stress because every little thing is going to be alright! :)

I graduated from high school early, I was pregnant. Although I enrolled in college the next semester I had no Idea what I was doing. Being as I was the first in my family to graduate from high school and go to college and have a kid, there were a lot of firsts. So if I could go back I would tell myself to enjoy high school and college life, then have kids :-) none the less my boys have been my inspiration to keep going and defy the odds!

I would tell myself to take more time enjoy being a senior. Don't be afraid to try other extra curricular activities. Pick more honors classes. Venture out a talk to more students. Look for other colleges or universities in the area.

I would tell myself to prepare better in a sense of financially. This is public schooling, it costs money to be here and learn. You need to try hard to recieve grants and scholarships and really think about where this is money is coming from and to put it to good use.
