Graceland University-Lamoni Top Questions

I would tell myself that it is a rough transition. Going from a school where i was friends with everyone to a school where you don't know many people can be scary but in the end it all works out. I would also tell myself that we were making the right decision to attend Graceland. I was doubtful because many people didn't want me to leave and i wasn't sure if it was the right school for me but it is perfect. Finally I would tell myself not to stress out because eveything falls into place.

I would tell my self to get a jump on scholarships early. I say this because it seems every year financial aid never helps out the students and you have to find almost all your own money

Don’t waste time doing things that will not help you grow as a person. Keep a good foundation that’s not going to be so overbearing. Live your life with dignity, honor, and respect. Show that kindness kills evil and don’t give up on yourself when someone tells you otherwise. Nor should one fall into temptations that suggest our minds to conduct evil deeds. The world to some people is a game. And a lot of people are corrupt and deceiving in this game. But you should play the game fair with hope, love, and show no animosity to those who did not play by the rules. Set an example that will show others there is always a better way to win the game such that, even if they do loose in the end, they can still win. Chose the path in your life you know you don’t have to second guess, or feel like failing is an option. Take one day at a time strengthening your mind with hope that whatever is giving you doubts soon brushes away. And put your faith in that of which, our entire nation chose to be under, God.

I would tell myself not to waste time and study as hard as I can because the faster I finish, the faster I can start my career.

Dear High-School Self, Here’s some great news. Contrary to what everyone tells you this ISN’T the best time of your life. It will, however, have a dramatic effect on your future. Most of the people who are so important to you now will be no where to be seen in ten years. There will be that one (maybe even two if you’re lucky) that sticks with your through everything. You’ll share crazy nights and life milestones. As your shared time gets further in the past, you may go months without talking. Pick up that phone and it’s like nothing has changed. It’s ok not to know what the future brings. It’s ok not to know what you want to be when you “grow up”. You can go through college, build your life, and still not know what your end goal is. Wherever you are in life, you can have an uplifting effect on the people around you and find personal satisfaction. Relax. Let it go. It all seems so earth shattering right now, but really? It’s not. None of it is.

I would tell myself to start school as soon as i get out of high school. I would also make sure that i find as many schohlorships as i possible could to help me pay for my education because college is really expensive.

Knowing what I know now about the transition from high school to college I would tell my high school self to actually listen to the advice that other college students gave me. For example some college students told me the easiest way to make friends was to get out of your comfort zone and join clubs or other organizations. I wish I had listened to this advice but I thought it would be really easy to make friends like it was in high school. I was really wrong and my first year of college was so miserable that I was in my room almost all the time. Another thing I would have told myself was to get better grades my senior year especially since I was mostly taking duel enrolment clasees. I would tell myself this becaue the better your grades are the more scholasrship money you will receive from schools. This is a big part of the transition becasue not only will you have less to pay back after school, you won't have to stress over money while attending school and have more time to focus on your studies.

I would tell myself to take advantage of every opportunity that was offered. Even though i've tried different clubs and events and they weren't always for me, at least I can say that I tried. I have no regrets and I would tell myself to make sure that you always listen to your gut, but don't forget that you should never stop yourself for going out for that team or making those friends because you weren't sure enough of yourself or you were afraid. Live intelligently, but also live adventurously.

Take a tour of many colleges and really get to know some staff and the campus. Then think about which one you feel will suit your needs best.
