There are so many things I would tell my high school self if I had the chance to go back. I am currently an undecided major and I am still not completely sure what I want to major in. One thing I would tell my high school self is to take some college courses at the local community college to try to expand my knowledge of my likes and dislikes. This would help save money to find what I like and also get some credits completed before I enrolled in college. Another thing I would tell my high school self is to work more during high school. If I got a job earlier in my high school career, I would have had more money saved up for book expenses and not as many loans taken out. It would have helped me in the long run. One last thing I would tell myself is to enjoy high school while it lasts because I miss all of my old teachers and class mates. College is more work but it is not that bad, just keep up the work! Those are some of the things I would tell my high school self.

There are many things I would advise myself about before attending college. One thing is that you never know what you have until your away from it. My home enviorment is something I miss everyday. Adjusting to college life is something that does not come easy. Not having your parents around you will take some getting used to. The work is also so much different than high school work. The fact that you need to study regardless if you have a test coming up soon is important. Keeping up with work and getting ahead on your studies is probably the best thing you can do. Anothing essentail part of transitioning into college is realizing that you have no limits. Going to bed on time is not going to be pounded into your head by your parents anymore. Getting into trouble is not hard; therefore, you need to be wise in your decision making. All in all, coming into college is not as crazy as you hear about or think it will be. Stay focused in your studies and your priorities and everything will be just fine.

There is a lot of advice I would give to my high school self. Senior year was stressful because I had no idea where I wanted to go. Therefore, the first piece of advice I would give to myself is to only apply to King’s College. It has Physician Assistant Program you want. Also, it is a Catholic school so you can express your faith freely. Secondly, make sure you complete FAFSA by February 15. You did not, and because of that, you missed out on receiving more federal and state grants. My last piece of advice is to apply to more private scholarships at your high school. Some of the scholarships they handed out at the Senior Award Ceremony were worth a thousand dollars or more.

I never made it to be a high school senior. I had a child at 17 and dropped out of school, later I went and got my GED. The advice I give to myself is simple, stay in school and graduate high school. Getting a GED is a lot harder than staying in school. You will miss out on great opportunities like joining clubs, graduating with all your friends, applying to good schools and dropping out will keep you in a lower income bracket. College life is a lot different from high school, it requires dedication and a lot of studying if you want to keep your GPA up. I am glad that I decided to go back for my bachelor's, it will open up doors for me that are currently closed.

I would tell myself to make sure that I concentrate on classes and do well on tests. Be prepared for life changes. College is a life changing event but a great one at that. Enjoy every day and what it offers.

If you aspire to be a Morehouse student you are already moving in the right direction. Even though it comes with a high price tage ($38,000+), I am confident that my education is second to NONE and It will pay off tend fold upon graduation. I'm just a rising sophmore, and I already feel as though I'll be well prepared for law school. If you're looking for a historic, small, competitive, high-ranking, and internationally respected institution to earn your degree.. Morehouse is the place for you. Continued Success!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to begin researching the necessary classes needed to graduate with a degree in education. Many of the classes for the first two years of college were CORE and needed to be taken as prerequisites for a sucessful liberal arts education. However, there are so manyclasses to choose from that can meet these requirements, it is important to take something that interests you and that you can look forward to learning about.

If I were to go back in time I'd tell myself to start managing my time a lot more wisely. I would also start to change my study habits because I never had the need to study since I would get straight A's on most of my tests. I would tell myself that I need to take my SATs sooner and take them more times so I could have a higher score than I did. It's also important to not give up and keep up with the work and studying for exams at least a week before and to not be afraid to look for help or ask questions.
Chelsea
I would tell myself to take a deep breath and that everything would be ok. Take enough time for yourself to relax and don't stress too much about classes everything works out in the end.

If I could go back in time and give advice to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself to study harder and work on my writing skills. I was not use to writing a lot of papers in high school and I felt very overwhelmed when I started my work load at college. I feel if I had worked harder as a high school senior in writing I would have been able to have a easier time transitioning into college.
