I would have made a lot of changes back then. I would tell myself that I need to grow up. I need to decide what I want to do in life and decide quick. life is just a flash before the eyes and before you know it, it's gone. Look at me now I am twenty-eight years old and going back to school, I will be in my thirties before I get a decent degree, almost fourty before I get my master's degree. I could have gotten it in my twenties. Life is too short to waste it, education is important, knowledge is vital and it is the key to everlasting life.

I would say stay in school and get your college degree. This would be something in my family that no one else has done. It’s never too late for me and I’m in the process of making my dream come true, I wish I had done it a lot sooner.

Ther advice that i would give myself as a teenager is that do what makes you comfortable and not rush into choices that you do not understand. I know that I rushed through the schools that i choose and went with the one that i feel was the best at. I hope one day i will learn from that. i also would like to advise myself that its better to think clearly with the decision then to make a hasty one.

I would advise myself, to buckle down and take my education seriously. I would make sure that I stress how important education is and the benefits in which I can have by obtaining my education. I would compare the salaries that a High School graduate makes compared to the salary of a College graduate.

Obtaining my degree will allow me to live with financial stability and security something I have never known, not even as a child.

Remember why you came to school education is more important then social events. Work as hard as you can Monday - Friday Read before class and step away from friends when you need to study. TIME IS MONEY

Growing up, I always had a clear vision of what my life would be like. Finishing high school, going to college, becoming a teacher, getting married and becoming a mom were all on the agenda. Everything was going according to plan, but after about two years of college, life happened. Things that my younger self never could have imagined came up and sent my life in a totally new direction. Twelve years later, I now find myself picking back up where I left off. If I could go back and talk to the girl that I was in high school, I would tell her to stay focused on her dreams and always be true to herself, but to also have an open mind. Sometimes you’ll get thrown off course, but don’t be discouraged, and don’t beat yourself up if things don’t turn out exactly how you planned. There isn’t one right way to live life, so choose a path that works for you, and most importantly, don’t forget to slow down and enjoy your life every single day on your journey to accomplishing your goals.

I would say to be more aware that everything you do will have an impact on someone else. I would also advise myself to continue on with your education earlier in life. There will be opportinuties for fun further down the road.

College is what makes dreams reality. Without college there would be no doctors or judges. There would simple be people experimenting with your life. Would you rather have a doctor with no education or one that has been college? Can you image a judge determining your case with no knowledge of the laws? College expands your mind and teaches life skills. A good example is two people applying for job same job one with Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice versus one with no education. Who do you think will get the job? In order to have the advantage in obtaining a career college is required. Do you want to have depended on medium wage to raise a family? Life brings obstacles why not the advantages with a College degree. Employers are looking for people with degrees. You have to ask yourself do you want a career or just a job. There is a difference between a job and career. Career is something that you love doing and pays well and offers benefits. A job is something that just pays the bills and usually no chance at advances in this job

If I were able to go back and give myself advice about college, I would most definately strongly advise me to go away to college and enjoy campus life. I would also encourage myself to enter college in the fall following high school graduation. Experience life and what it has to offer in college, worry about getting prerequisites out of the way, then decide on a major, at 18, it is hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. Make sure the educataion you do get is well-rounded, do not set limits as to specific subject content, allow yourself to explore anything and everything that interests you; the more well-rounded you are, the more employable you are, at least in my opinion. Above all else, enjoy your time away at college!

As a senior in highschool I was a little boy crazy! I had good grades but did not apply myself 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. I would apply myself more knowing what I know now. Instead of working at 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my potential I would work at 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. Another thing I would change as a senior would be to go off to college and stay in a dorm instead of staying local and commuting. I feel that I lost a lot of memories that a lot of my friends have from going off to a university.

Don't let anything seem more important than your education. Set educational goals and follow them through no matter what life throws in your path. Prepare for an awesome journey and transition into adult hood but don't forget to play when you can to keep your balance in life.

I would tell myself to always strive for excellence and the best job that I can in my courses. I would advice to get the best grades possible since those will help you get a job once college is done and you have obtained your degree. I would also say that college can be difficult but keep working hard and you can obtain any goals that you set for yourself. You need to think positive and you can do anything that you set your mind to. I would also suggest to get as many scholarships and grants that you can qualify for; this will help to reduce your out of pocket expenses you may have to pay later on instead of having to get student loans.

I would tell myself, go to college right out of high school and dont take a break because once you take a break, life starts happening to you and it just gets harder to go back. You just have to stay focussed and keep telling yourself that you're young and you have a lifetime to party and live it up. Once you have your degree, you will see the fruits of your labor and you will be ready to take on the world and especially as a woman, you will have that independence.

Morgan, you are a straight A student and on the honor roll, you are an amazing softball player, you are very dedicated and that can get you very far in life! The route you are going to take is going to be very hard. Skipping classes may seem fun at the time but you are going to regret doing the things you are doing! Stay on the softball team and get a scholarship to a really good school. I know you think that getting a college education isn't important but I promise you in five years you will want to go and you will want to be an amazing nurse or doctor! I've seen what happens in the future and yah you did head back towards the right path but that was after you had a baby and struggled to get your high school diploma. If you keep going in the path you are going you will succeed but it will be the hard way! Wouldn't you rather stay in school now and have it be easy? Stop worrying about your friends and more about school because you can do this, I know you can!

I would tell myself as a high school senior, that I definitely should attend college because it's not at all what I thought it was going to be like back then. As a senior, and throughout high school, I didn't think college was for me. I saw it as tedious and intrusive to the lifestyle that I was living. Now that I'm much older, and have had many life experiences, I know how difficult it is to obtain a good job let alone a career without a degree. I also know that it is not tedious or intrusive, but it is fun and worth every second! I would tell myself all of the trials and tribulations I have had to endure because of not going to college. I would also make sure to include how in the future, it is more important than ever to have a degree, on so many different levels. The biggest piece of advice would be to not short-change myself and to learn as much in college as possible. Then I would take my hand and drag myself down to the nearest community college and enroll!
