I would let them know, that their are many opportunities out there, nd we should take advantage of them, especially scholarships and grants to help out for school tutitions. I would encourage them to stay in school, and start planning ahead for their future careers and dreams. I would encourage them to ask Questions if they don't understand.

As a high school senior, I had the opportunity to take dual-credit math and english for free but i turned down both of the offers. Now that I am in college and know how expensive tuition is, i would have told my high school self to take those two classes. my study habits in high school were not the best either. If I would have known the amount of studying that comes along with college, my high school self would have gotten into a better routine of studying. Overall, the best advice I would have given my high school self is to take education much more seriously.

Hey relax, I understand that it's confusing, with all the teachers describing so many seemingly different pictures of college. And I know that you are at the peak of frustration. But college is just another school year; your anxious your first day and confused about where your classes are. Yet by the end of the second nine weeks (a semester), you’ll know exactly which teachers (which we now call professors) to look out for, and all the shortcuts in the school. Right now keep doing what your doing; continue writing those essays, keep harassing your teachers for as those letter of recommendations. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about the future just know that you have one; which will stay bright as long as you continue to beat Senioritis. Also don't forget to enjoy your time as a senior, learn to love life and live it while you can, make close friends within minutes, act silly in front of strangers. And when you walk down the hall, walk tall because you should always have pride in where you come from and where you’ll be. When you go to college you'll be ready, I promise.

As a high school senior I was so anxous to leave home and be independent, like every other senior. The moment after my family left and I was left with my roomate alone, for good, was one of the scariest and happiest moment of my teenage life. After my first year I learned alot on how I could have came to college more prepared. I wish I had taken more time to study the few AP exams I didn't pass just to save that extra money from taking the actual class (trust me it adds up) . On top of that I didnt take applying for scholorships as seriously as I should have, and now the consicences are biting me in the butt. Finding tution help is out there you just need time to find it. Time management is in my opinion the key to success in college, organizing my time better would have helped me survive my first year without all the stress. The point is even though college in structure is more relaxed, staying on top of your things (even the little things like an assignment) is the key to enjoying your new found freedom.

Don't look back. The good life is just up the road, hold on and stay positive. Things may get hard, and you may feel like giving up, or calling it quits, but its not the end of the world. If you think highschool was hard, wait til you spend hours re-reading that damn chapter, all for a better future. All for you. Things come and go, friends come and go, nothing is permanent; I'm sorry. It really sucks sometimes but other times you feel like a million bucks, because maybe spending hours re-reading that chapter made a big difference in that exam last week, maybe losing those friends will open new opportunities, new things to learn, new places to go. Always keep an open mind, and don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise, life isn't long enough for that. Don't be afraid to take big steps and always be humble. This may sound funny, but I promise, college isn't like the movies, it's better. Never forget, "Nothing is permanent in this wicked world. Not even our troubles". Go see the world in all it's glory.

Giuliano, right now you're weighing your options. You're thinking to yourself, "what should i study?" and "should i leave my education behind for 2 years and serve a mission?". What I can tell you is that you made the best decisions, given what you knew then. I know now why you chose what you did, and I'm grateful. You will do great, but you'll be alittle nervous and anxious at times - dont worry. In the future, you're going to see how everything falls into place. You'll return home from your 2 year absence and pickup where you left off, with a few more challenges and trials to strengthen your character. Luckily for you, you'll meet a beautiful woman who is actually an alumni of the school I'm currently attending. She'll help you, comfort you and encourage you to do your best (even though we haven't always during our highschool years, right?). We struggled. We were underachievers. We are meant for so much more. Whether or not you're successful is completely up to you. If you dedicate yourself, and rearrange your priorities (*cough* less computer time), you'll go far!

Yo, me, makesure you study more for the ACT. Don't lie to yourself, you didn't study. You scored pretty well for going in cold, but you should probably study. Also, make sure you enjoy your last year at SPHS, you'll miss it a lot and you'll miss your friends. Be sure you really consider all of your college options. Pros and cons dude. Pros and cons. Make sure you really think about it. Really. Think. Also, for the love of all that's holy, please ask Korey to prom in a cooler/more romantic way. Good luck and God's speed.

As a high school senior, I believed my life would not change drastically by attending college. For this reason, I would tell myself to apply for as many scholarships because they are very needed. I would tell myself to commit myself to the community because for every program or scholarship, your community involvement is very important. The biggest issue with college life is money; therefore, I would tell myself to save every bit of money I can because having the most fashionable and expensive clothes is not as important as getting a college education. The transition is very difficult if your are not able to affort your schooling, which is something you don't realize until you actually see the bills, the tuitions, and book fees. Knowing how to find money for college is the only advice I would give myself because that's what has been the hardest.

College is what you make of it. Just how life can be difficult or easy, depending on your attitude towards it, college is also based on choices you make. As always you will think that you have to make your own mistakes to learn, but for once take the advice. The day will come when the one person who truly loved you, pushed you and supported you is gone, and you will think you are ok. It will be hard but you will need to push yourself, pick yourself up, and seek help. Help is the key to your transition to a different life in new surroundings, into college. You need to let it all out and start with a clean slate. If you succeed in helping yourself, college will be what you will need the most in life. College can be made into your new beginning.
