Lipscomb University Top Questions

In my college experience, I have gained valuable knowledge for my major, and I have only been there for one year. Lipscomb has been amazing in helping me make friends and letting me get to know my teachers. It has been the perfect college for me to attend, because it is small enough of a school that it is not overwhelming. This also makes the class sizes smaller, which makes it easier to talk to my professors and let me get the help I need to do my best.

The transition from high school to college has been a difficult one for me because I lack the financial aid that I need to attend school. If given the chance to go back in time and talk to my self, I would say the following: "Keitorria, I know you feel overwhelmed and indecisive about your college choices, but go with your heart. Make sure you search night and day for scholarships and financial aid opportunities. Exhaust all sources! The hardest part for you will not be keeping your grades up or staying focused, but it will be finances. Do not give up!"

If i could go back to my high school senior year, the advice that i would tell myself is that i needed to apply to more colleges unstead of three so then i would of had more options in what school to pick. i would have applyed for more scholarships and grants. and i would have apple for them in the beginning of my senoir year, so i wouldn't have to rush it during the end toward graduation. I would have work harder in my academic because even one point can make a differs in my GPA. I would have visited my top choice school to see what's liked and asked more questions about the college I wanted to go too and how things work there. i would have asked more question about my major for the college i wanted to attend. i would have token the SAT not just the ACT, but both. And i would have token it many times to try to raise my score. And most of all i would have studied more.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself not to be afraid to open up to other people at the school and to be more outgoing when I first started school. Knowing that would have let me make more friends faster instead of staying in my dorm pretty much all of my first semester as a freshman. My life would not neccesarily be better if that would have happened, but it would have made the beginning of my college experience a lot more fun. I hope more high school seniors and college freshmen realize this or are told this.

If I could go back to being a high school senior I would not change anything. My high school experience was very challenging and well prepared me for college. "Do exactly what you did all over again."

Please take all the math that is available. Read more books of interest, and visit many museums, art galleries, parks with rich history, view the galaxy, and never think about dropping out of school. Stay in touch with yourself, respect yourself and you can respect others.

I would tell myself not to take high school for granted and tell myself to learn as much as possible!!!

You are beautiful the way you are, but don't forget how much you love to run. Worrying is as useful as a broken arm. The things you need to be worrying about will hit you when you least expect them and there won't be anything you can do about it anyway. Sing the way you always do and don't let anyone intimidate you. Don't waste your time on men who don't love you nearly as much as they say they do, that will only hurt the ones who really love you. Remember compliments you've received, forget the insults. Remember the golden rule and everything you learned in kindergarten."If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Take your vitamins. Dance. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone to support you. Be patient. Stay in close touch with the friends you made in high school; they will be more trustworthy than anyone you meet in college.

if I cold go back in time and talk to my high school self, I would tell myself to not be discouraged when you think you have no way to pay for college. I would then tell my high school self that I should take the initiative to apply to as many scholarships as I possibly could because I would need them later. Lastly I would tell myself to have confidence and do everything you have to do and do it with a smile on your face, because it makes all the difference.

I would advise parents and students to simply keep the future in mind when making all choices about which college to attend.
