If I could back to being a senior in High School I would give myself a whole new perspective before entering into college. I would have studied more often for my exams, instead of studying for twenty minutes. I would have accomplished more community service hours to be able to say I went out to serve. I would have joined more clubs and played sports instead being to myself. Last but not least I would have put all my effort in everything I did to succeed better later on in education.

If i was given the opportunity to go back and talk to myself as a senior in high school i would have told myself to learn how to manage my time.

People and family members shouldnt distract me from my work. This is also a lesson i had to learn the hard way.

Talking to myself as a high school senior, I would say, "College life is an excellent experience, and one that you will not forget. From meeting new friends from different parts of the country to seeing friends you've know since your freshman year at high school, college life is extremley great. Most high school students dread the transitiotn from high school to college by hearing stereotypes such as long essays and exams, but really it's not as dreadful as it seems. It's as easy as making a daily schedule. Set time to study, stay focused, and you will succeed. Also, be sure not to "cram" yourself with studies. Making time in your schedule to socialize with fellow students and friends as well. The word "impossible" should not be a part of your vocabulary and is not plausible for anything related to college life, including the transition. Furthermore, succeeding in your goals and obtaining a degree no matter what you decide to study, will open a vast amount of opportunities for your future. Simply look at college as the backbone for your all of your future needs; to support your future family, to succeed and excel your lifestyle.

As a young student in college I have learned various things i would tell myself in high school. The first thing i would tell myself is to make sure you work hard at all times. During some days in high school i had the tendency to get lazy. Now that i know that every action in your life either has a reward or a punishment I would have worked harder in high school. I also would have told myself to be dedicated to what i wanted to achieve in life. I often lost sight in high school of my goals, and now that i know a little more about staying focused on my tasks it would have been harder to lose sight of what i wanted in life. Althought i have made mistakes in the past I do not regret them because those mistakes are the things that are going to bring me closer to my success.

Dear Self: I know you haven't been giving 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. I need you to understand the importance of giving your all to the "process". Education will be your key out of poverty. Education will level the playing field for you. Education will teach you how to "think" for yourself; teach you how to become a problem-solver. In the end, that is what will be important. solving problems. Oh, one last thing. You will also discover "who" you are! Regards, Christy Cardenis

The advice i would give myself is to stand out. I think that being yourself and finding yourself is key to college life. I would also tell myself that in college you have to take care of yourself - meaning, no one is going to telll you to wake up or take care of responsibilities, you have to want to get an education. Another major thing i would tell myself is to take college seriously. By me being an African American female at an HBCU , it is motivation surrounding myself with people of my kind who actually want to learn. I take college seriously because money doesnt grow on trees and i know that only i can determine my future. No one else can do my work or make my grades or take my hand and make me do things. I am taking this serious because i want to be successful in the future and help others by becoming a nurse.
