Jamell, stay on top of your studies. use time management and start work early do not procrastinate. take adavantage of your opportunity and make the family proud you will be the first to graduate.

When I attended high school my plan was always to go to a tradional four year university. I decided my senior year to attend a two year school instead. My advice to myself would be to attend a four year school immediately after high school. I received my associates degree three years after high school and now at the age of twenty-six am going back to achieve my bachelor's degree. Looking back now I wish I would have attended a four year school and not took such a long break to go back and receive my bachelor's degree. It becomes more difficult to attend school the older you get. It is sometimes difficult to work full-time and take classes full-time.

I would finish school and go on the graduate school and become a juvenile public defender. I would reach out to the neighborhood that I grew up in and help the less fortunate and let them know that they can move out and move up from where they are and become productive in society and make a difference in the world.

Go and attend a different school.

I would go to Franklin University, study hard and stay there to work on an advanced degree. I would not hang out with the wrong people and stay focused. I would take more psychology classes to learn more about me. I would listen more to my grandmother about education.

I would tell my younger self to have more fun with his entry level courses. I would tell him to explore his options; to truly figure out what he wanted to be "when he grew up". I took courses in the order I thought I thought they were mandated. I made sure to take General Education courses early on in an attempt to form universal building blocks for the towers I was going to create in my life which would break the city skyline with my life's accomplishments. However, the thought never occurred to me that I may not want to build towers 20 years down the road but that my every desire would be to travel the world making the towers of others even greater. After two years of General Education courses, and tuition used up, I realized that I wanted to be a technical expert in a field I never knew existed when I started school. My advice to my former-self is simple: "Live a little and then decide." Take an art course, learn an instrument, and enjoy life more while it’s happening rather than planning so hard for a life which may never come.

The advice I would give to myself if I was a senior in high school is "never let anyone negative in your life." The reason why is because I had to learn from my friends that once you're a parent at a earlier age then you will began to think about what is more important in life. For instance, going out everyday or taking care of your little family. Also, it's imporant that if you fail at one test, the main thing is not to give up. Students should do is write a to do list on what they need to impove in their short-term goals, but mainly their long-term goals. Once you're in college, all you can do is try your best ; however, there are some students that will have to take the class twice just to get a passing grade. That is why the gist is to stay focused on what you want to get out of the way. Therefore, try to get all the math classes out of the way so that you can stay focused on biology and get in the health field. Lastly , always have hope and faith in yourself.

The advise I would give myself to prepare my self for college would be, to slow down and dont speed through life. I would allow myself more time to devlop as a child and give my self the chance to develop and proceed through college the right way without having to the extra responsiblity of taking care of children. Being able to go through my college life "the right way" and then planning a family after graduation would be the best advice I could give myself.

Try your best and never give up.

Study hard, get an education early while you don't have a mortgage and children. I would also travel more and learn more about other cultures maybe even learn another language. I would also be more open to new things, not judge people and places by there appearance. Life is short and moves fast, I would remind myself that life always changing. Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad, but in the end it always seems to work it's self out. So I would tell myself never give up on your dreams.
