El Paso Community College Top Questions

Jesus, college is a great experience and is much different than what your going to expect from highschool. The transition from highschool to college will probably catch you off guard you will soon see that but dont be alarmed. When you go to college no one is going to be there to be telling you what to do. You are going to have to figure it on your own and ask a lot of questions along the way. Stay focused on your studies and never give up on what you want in life. The road to succes might be difficult but dont be afraid help will always be there for you. Talk to your counselors to see what you need or what you are missing. You will need to organize your priorities and your schedule as well and everything will go smoothly. You have no need to worry at all. If you are able to organize yourself, stay focused and keep yourself informed then college and the college life will come naturally to you.

I must admit that as a senior I catched the famous "senioritis". I worked hard to get a good grades in my classes, but not to my full potential. I would tell myslef to push it to the limit, to find all the things I could accomplish if I tried just a little harder. I would also tell myself to reconsider my major, after my first year I switched to architecture and fell a little behind due to the switch. Another piece of advice I'd give myslef would be to talk to my counslers more often and apply to all the scholarships that I could. That extra money would have been great and I wouldn't be in debt already. The last thing I would tell myslef would be the winners of all the Super Bowls since I've gradutaed, just kidding. I would tell myslef to enjoy every minute, learning new things is such an awesome experience.

If i could go back and talk to my self as a high school senior i would tell myself so much. To start off i would tell myself not to get lazy with my training in baseball and to start and not stop appling for scholarships even if they require essays. Also to do things that will help you in the long run dont waste your time with your friends unless you are taking a break from applying. In school give your everything to every assignment especally if you dont want to do it, and pay very attention to due dates. Don't let anyone put you down and if they do get back up and be at a better position you were before. Also be more social so you can keep in touch with your baseball buddies, other than that you will do just fine.

The advice I would go back in time just to give myself, would be to save. I appplied for numerous scholarships and contests, but never acumilated enough money to even pay for my first semester of college. I work at a local grocery store and only saved a portion each paycheck for school. Now that I think of it, if i had just saved more, or even all of it, It would be so much easier to pay for school. Sure I used that money for gas, my car, and even some groceries for the family, but the money I used to go to the movies should have stayed in my account for the expenses of college life. Now that I know how expensive it is to better one self I save a lot more than just a portion, but if i could've started these good habits before the struggle, It would be easier on my wallet and on my worries of a lifetime of student loan payments.

ASSUMEING I COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND TALK TO MYSELF AS A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW ABOUT COLLEGE LIFE AND MAKING THE TRANSITION, WHAT ADVICE WOULD I GIVE MYSELF.

YOU ARE A VERY SMART WOMEN SET YOUR MIND TO IT AND, YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. THATS WHAT I WOULD TELL MYSELF IF I COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO MYSELF AS A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW ABOUT COLLEGE LIFE AND MAKING THE TRANSITION.

Dear Brenda : I know you have a lot of dreams but you should focus in one. Start making the decicion about which university you want to go . Time goes faster than you think and if you do not start making your applications for scholarships you may not go to the university you desire. You may have the best GPA and i know you are going to graduate as a top ten student but nothing would help you if you do not help yourself. College is not hard because you are going to start your career and guess what ? you are allow to chose your career; and you would love it, so do not be afraid about college. You know what is hard about college? the tiution ,so do not forget about scholarships. please! Brenda something you must remember about going to college is that you can do and you can be anything you want. Dream , believe in yourself and help the people who is around you that would make you succed in collge. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life. I Love you and God bless you.

Continue to work hard! Make good friends who have the same goals as you do! Never give up when class seems hard! Time flies, so just get school done with!

Don't procrastinate. Keep a schedule. In high school work is not due all at once. When you procrastinate in college, you will find yourself with an assignment for each class due on the same day and they usually are not simple projects of an hour or less. Time management is key to get homework done as early as possible. You will have more time for fun and be thankful later when you're not missing out on a party or hanging out with friends because you have to finish your a project. Take advantage of the professor asking questions and try to get a discussion started in the classroom. Other students may not be willing to say anything, but if you take the initiative, stimulating conversations can take place and you will receive so much more from the class. And as a parting note, enjoy the time and do your best. College is an investment and what you put in will effect what you get out.

I would have to tell myself to consider your options carefully. To prepare yourself and keep an open mind. I would also tell myself to get involve more in college as it can open doors to a better future. In other words, to study hard, to not give up, and give it your best shot..
