Herzing University-Madison Top Questions

I would say listen to what people tell you. Study hard, not go out drinking, cruising, or worry about what your friends think about you. Don't wait to go school, go right away and go away to school. I believe that my life would be in a completely different place if I would have tried harder and took school seriously then.

Get started now! Yes you are young and you have your whole life ahead of you but time flies so fast that you wont even realize it. Its never too early or too late to apply for scholarships and grants, so start applying and don't stop! The money is out there, you just have to go get it. Don't give up, keep pushing. Remember college is for YOU! Trust me, take all the chances and all the opportunities offered to you. You wont regret a thing. Don't forget to take deep breathes. You got this!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, my life would certaintly be much different. I would explain to myself that I live in the greatest country in the world and that learning as much as I can will not only provide a better future for myself but also society as a whole. It is taking pride in your works that will make you truly satified and will gain the respect from your peers and the people you care about. That there is no reason for just accepting your shortcomings and trying to work around them. Life is about finding those barriers and taking them head on with confidence that you will succeed if you give it all you got. It's the thrill of meeting your goals and watching yourself develop into what you dream of that should get you out of bed every morning. Paying today so you can play tomorrow is the key to happiness within yourself. The sooner I accept that my college education is an investment for mine and my family's life, the sooner I can be where I deserve to be.

School is important, it may seem like a piece of paper won't matter but in the future it is very important. Stay focused, you're much smarter than you give yourself credit for, and you will do great things.

Throughout high school many people assume that college will be exactly like high school, including myself. Well when a person comes to realize that high school is not anything like college it may take a stressing toll on them. If I could go back in time and tell my 17 year old self what college is like compared to what high school is like it would be something like this. Taking your time in class could pay off, although getting out and seeing your friends may be more fun it pays off to pay attention and do your best. College is much more serious, although the proffesors give lectures and expect you to take notes they don't care if you pass or fail. It is a lot different than high school, because in high school the teacher cares about you and wants you to pass so you don't have to repeat that course. Also, studying in college pays off, because college finals there are no curves in grades. What you get is what you get. In high school if the teacher saw everyone did bad they would curve the grade. Pay attention and study as much as possible.

If i had the opportunity to go back and talk to myself i would really emphasize focusing on class and puting in more effort to develope better study habits. My study habbits are awful and i am working on bettering them. I have always done well in school without much effort but it shows here in college. Esspecially at Herzing where if you miss one class you risk failing the course because it is so fast paced. I would tell myself to also save all the research papers and speaches i ever wrote to look back at and get ideas for future papers to simplify things. I really enjoyed high school and had a great time. I was very active in sports which may have played a roll in my choices to not study as much as i should have. Overall i am happy with my high school career and am ok with how things turned out. Just a few things i would have switched but nothing major. I never made any bad decisions.

Considering the fact that I'm supposed to be a senior in high school right now, but am actually a sophomore in college, I don't know if I even qualify for this scholarship. However, I might as well try. I worked my ass off to get where I am today, so I guess I deserve it. Anyway, if I could go back and tell my high school junior self a few things it would be to try to make more friends and join a club. I was pretty lonely for a while when I started college (and still am), so maybe if I had joined a club it wouldn't be this way. I would also tell myself to not wait until the day it's due to start my accounting homework. The transition from high school to college really wasn't too difficult for me and, honestly, there isn't much I would change.

Stay organized. Manage your time wisely and effieciently. Ask plenty of questions. There are people who are more than willing to help you succeed. Nobody's going to be holding your hand through this, so be proactive and take advantage of all opportunities. Above all, enjoy the experience. You will be learning so many new things about an area of study that you love. Remember, college will help to provide you with security for the future.

I would tell myself to "Get a Job" because its takes a lot of money to pay for college and if I had saved money while I was in highschool I would have less trouble paying for it right now. I would also tell myself to start early with Autodesk Maya or some other modeling class.

If I could go back and give myself advice as a high school student, I would have plenty advice to give. First, I would tell myself to job shadow and figure out what field I want to go into. Second, try to save half of every paycheck you earn for school because it is very expensive. Third, make college visits and apply for every scholarship you can. Any amount of scholarship help will make a difference. Fourth, stop focusing on being liked by peers and focus on joining school clubs that will help you in preparation for life. High school is planning for the future, and sadly I feel like I didn’t plan the way I should have. The biggest advice I could give to myself throughout high school would be to listen to the teachers, and think about college right away. Do not hold off on anything because it will come back to bite you in the future. Save your money, study, and have a plan for your future before you graduate your senior year.

I would tell myself to apply for every scholarship and to push myself harder. I would tell myself to push myself to remember the information taught because it will come up again in college whether you think it will or not.

The best advice I would give myself if I could go back in time would be to not be afraid of college and to pursue whatever dream I might have. I did not go to college until I was 28 years old because I was to afraid to. I thought I was not smart enough and that I would flunk out. Going back at 28 was not as hard as I thought it would be. I would also tell myself that going to college will someday change my life for the better. I will be able to live more comfortable and I will be able to provide my family with things my parents were unable to provide me with. I would last tell myself that all the things that I thought were so important in higschool, such as clothes, parties, the best cars and not to nice friends, do not matter anymore.

If I were to sit down and talk to myself when I was a senior, I would tell myself to go to school right away. Because I pay for my own education I worked a year before going to school, but I wish now I would have just started right away and worked on my general education classes. If I would have done this I would be done with school and working as a nurse and caring for people. I think I would have also told myself to focus more on trying to challenge myself to expand my education instead of just doing what I needed to. I would also remind myself to stay true to me and focus on what I want out of my life to be happy not what others expect.

Well, first i would like to say that its was the opportunity of success. it is not easy you have to work hard for it. if you make it to the end you canbe able to face the world. when i enter college i lost a love one. but without that person i would'nt be here. its was the words of encouragement and sacrifice, don't give up so early but strive hard for the future you know when you taste it. but now I'm away from home because of school....i would like to say that i salute my late mother and also my one and only super hero i called my dad for loving me without them i won't be able to see the college life....it is more than enough to explore the world in education than to be somewhere else that you can't be able to learn new things college life is hard but with all my might and my heart into it i can make it to the end.

college life is not easy, we need to study hard and go to school..well in high school life i like to go hag aroud with my friend are doing homework and go to school every day

Hello Laura, I am the seven years in the future Laura and I am here to prepare you for what is to come in college. Relax with people, go with the flow and just have fun. Texas A&Ms’ style of teaching is the complete opposite of how you learn. Just remember to breathe and that you only need to out run the friend, not the bear. They try to scare you into quitting, but don’t worry. You are with the cream of the crop and the professors are trying to separate the men from the boys. You are smart and you can do it. This will be the greatest challenge for you to over come. Take one baby step at a time and know that you will show them you are worth it. In the end, you will earn the ring of generations and be a graduate of Texas A&M University. They will have taught you much and prepared you for continuing your education to become a professor. Congratulations on going to Texas A&M and enjoy the wildest ride of your life.

If I would have the chance to go back in time to my seniors days. First, I would probably would advice to myself to study a little harder but mostly I would say that I needed to have more fun time. Because I was to dedicated to my studies that sometimes I forgot to have a fun time with my friends of high school. Second, I would say to myself to join the sports teams and especially to basketball. Because I was so shy and nervious all the time that i was so scare to reveal my true self. But sadly in that high school there wasent my favorite sport that was softball. Third, I would advice myselft to participate in the competition that involves English. I always love english and even my first language is Spanish I would like to practice more the language of English. Fourth, I also advice myselft to volunteer more and interact with the group that have the high that do activities. Finally, I actually want to go back because I did not appreciate the moment when there was a lot of activities and organizations. If I would participated more I would be more happy.

Sarah, you do not know everything that there is to know aboout the real world. And no matter what you may think, it is best to continue on with your education immediately after high school. The longer you wait, the harder it gets when you have to figure in a full time job and children. Don't wait until you are at that point to finish your education. Finish it up now and utilize your skills, as you have a great mind! Don't waste it! An idle mind is the devil's playground! Aim for your goals and beyond! They may seem impossible, but they truly are within your reach if you are willing to dedicate some time and hard work toward those goals. Become whatever you want to be. If you still want to be a doctor, go for it! If you want to teach, teach! Just please, I beg, quit quitting and stop worrying about what other people think. Think only of yourself, in this case. Take your own advice, for a change. And don't follow in your parent's educational and financial footsteps. The only way out of that rut is through your education!

If I were to go back in time, I would tell myself a lot. I would tell myself to start saving money. I found out a little too late that college is quite expensive. I would also tell myself to be more open with people. Being shy in college is not going to get you very far. There are a lot of situations where being comfortable around people will get you furthur in your education. Lastly, I would tell myself to make time for leisure. Working full-time and going to school full-time leaves no room for yourself. Having a day off to do anything is better than not ever having a day off.

If I could go back and tell myself something I would probably say don't let your dream die, and when all your teachers told you that you would never made it show them that you will. When I was a freshmen in highschool my teachers said i was a failure i wouldn't make anythingof myself. At the same time my Mom was and still is dying very slowly of Parkinsons and dimensia. I would tell the old Travis to not fret you will make it. You will make your mother proud, and you will change what people said about you. You will make it. You will become successful. People will be very proud of you, and your mom can pass away peacefully knowing that she raised her son right.
