If I could go back into time, I would definetly tell myself to take an ACT prep class, and I would keep on retaking the ACT until I got a 20.

I would tell myself not to take anything for granted. I would tell myself to give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in everything I pursue. A full scholarship is a big responsibility and it's not a cake walk at all. People are watching you,waiting for you to make a mistake and you have to be aware of that. Appreciate every opportunity anyone gives you and never stop striving to be the best student where ever you are. Do not let the academic atmosphere around you dictate your work ethic and your goals. Understand you have a higher responsibilty than most and you must hold yourself to a higher standard in order to avoid distractions. Listen to your family members and the ones who have gone down this road before you and let them guide you. Do not think you know everything and allow their advice and your aspirations to lead you in the right direction. Value everything and every experience you go through, understanding that it will eventually make you a better person.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, know what I know now about college life and making the transition, I would advise myself to keep doing what I'm doing. I'm on the right track with preparing for college and transitioning just make sure that I think things out a littler longer before I act upon something.

the decisions you make in life affect you for al life time. it is very important to develope very good study habits in order to be successfull in school as well as in life. however , we must understand that anything is possible if we put our minds to it and believe tghat we can do it. so just a few words of encouragement , remeber that you can do anything that you want . also remember that no person can do things alone you need those around you aswell as those teachers to help yo to understand the things they have already mastered in life. Dont get discouraged never and if things begin to seem extremely hard junst take a breather and relax. this will help you to relax your mind and think in a positive matter. another very important thing is to never forget about social time this to is very important in surviving in the college life. this helps you to stay balanced between school and life this is alos something that will help to relax. but remember to much of anything can be bad. so just remember these few things and remember that you can and will succeed !

If you want the best college experience it is only partly what you make it. School activities are just as important as educational value. Dorm living should be comfortable 24/7 and not limited to certain dorms on campus. Diversity is key to happiness. Pick a school that is diverse in every way because schools that have one large majority will allows cater to that majority. Be unique. Never give in. Pick the path that feels right and don't be ashamed to ask for help. Stand up for yourself always. College prepares you to take care of the world's problems and people. Be prepared always to prove your point whether it be in an assignment or in talking to an administrator.

Knowing what I know now about the college life and making the transition, I would give myself some very helpful advice. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to be prepared for all types of new experiences. This is what I would say: Hi DeNae! You're about to reach the next important stage of your life, entering into to college is no joke. I want you to take this opportunity seriously and realize that not everyone is getting the same opportunity as you. There are going to be things that you have to experience to make you a better person, but I don't want to tell you what choices to make. Be the best volleyball player you know how; don't let anyone discourage you from being the best. Remember that your academics come first, do not get behind on your classwork. Temptations will be lurking around to grab hold to you, but keeping God first will get you through any and everything. Never settle for less, you are great and therefore, you deserve great. No matter what you do, just know I love you!

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior I would have told myself to take applying for scholarship applications more seriously, I never realized how hard it was to get a loan let alone the amount of money the government will give you as an undergraduate student. The amount of money I received hardly covers a full semester at my school. Also I would have took more classes that would better prepare me for college now, fortunately my grades aren't suffering but I think I would have been better prepared had continued to take AP courses as a senior. Lastly I would have saved majority of my money that I had earn throughout the summer because being broke in college is not fun at all and it can sometimes make it tough on your parents when you?re constantly asking them for money.

The advice I would give myself if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior will be taking care of business. If I know how to take care of business than I will achieve my goals. For example, I had mentioned previously about knowing how I was going to pay my balance. If I spend time on understanding how I will pay for my balance . I will not have to worry about doing a payment plan at the last minute. I could also save up money. That will really help me from showing stress. I wounldn't have to worry about paying a balanced. I can also work on my priorities. Meaning, I would have to sit down and take notes on how I'm going to pay for my balance, what I'm going to do when I get there, save money for my books, visit my wired account, understand what courses I want to take, etc. This will make a huge difference than when I experience college I wouldn't have to worry a lot of things. I will be satisified and I will understand what will be comming my way.

The advice that I would give to myself if i was a high school senior is that college is a very serious place. When you get there it is not all about the parties, the drinks, and your friends. It is pretty much a life changing event that happens in your life. It depends on you go when you get out and what will happen while you there. Yes, you can have fun and there is going to be fun times but there will also be hard times. In order to make the transition from high school to college you have to study more your senior year and read books over the summer. When you go you will have the knowledge that some that come to college do not have. Its not a joke and you should never give up on your education.
