Louisiana College Top Questions

Assuming that i can go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to not delay in attending college right after graduation. The longer you wait the more difficult it will be to get through the transition. also to believe in the decision that you make never doubt them for a second because its okay to make those mistakes, you learn from them and those mistakes will make you stronger as a individual, take the step and commit no matter what anybody has to say about it. this is your future and only you will be able to make it better. you just have to adjust to the situation at hand then adapt to better improve then once you figured it out you overcome those tough situations.

Senioritis is often used to describe the decreased motivation toward graduating by students who are nearing the end of high school. I know all of you want to graduate, but I have to be real. Many of you will probably not end up graduating. I know it is a hard pill to swallow but there it is. My best advice to you is what I said before, learn to balance this senior project and your regular school work, don’t procrastinate, and also learn to have your stuff in order and time- manage yourself.

study harder and apply for scholarships early and start taking the act and sat early in high school.

Make sure that you fill out as many scholarship and grant applications as possible. If things go wrong don't stress about them just try and get things straightened out as soon as possible. Make sure you stay on top of your school work so you can be successful in getting your degree. Always remember you are there to learn but do not forget expierence new good things and make some new friends. Most importantly remember the three D's while going through; determinatiom, dedication, domination, you are determined to make good grades, so stay dedicated to going to classes and studying, so you can dominate and get that degree.

First of all-relax! College is an amazing experience that allows you to grow as an individual, to challenge your mind, and to transition into an independent life. These are expectations that you can work towards by keeping a few important things in mind. Firstly, remember why you're going to college-to prepare you to live out your dreams and goals. Having a purpose and keeping it in the front of your mind will help you to stick it out when it isn't easy, because that vision will take you where you want to go in life. Another way to get the most out of the college experience is to be assertive and take initiative. Don't be afraid to take advantage of the resourses that are available to help you succeed. Stuck on an assignment? Talk to your professor. Start a study group. You won't reach your full potential by going it alone. Lastly, have fun! The friendships made in college will last for a very long time. Some of the best memories will be made in college with friends who care about you and will support you as you work towards you goals together.

"Practice is over, it's time to play!" You can't go into college with the same mindset you had in college. In college, you have to pay your way through, decide your own classes (rather than having a state-mandated curriculum put together by a counselor who knows you by name), and will be in class with people of all ages & lifestyles. Be open-minded and have a committment to think critically. Surround yourself with good people that will encourage you and help you achieve your goals. It's important to have a broad skillset, so make sure you apply for an internship, get a part-time job, and start to make connections with people who will aid you in your future career goals. All of your high school grades are important for your college career! Don't dismiss any classes as "not important" -- an 'A' on your transcript will take you a long way. Simimarly, an 'F' brings you down and hurts your GPA. More than anything - be persistent, study hard, and keep your goals in mind! Someday, all your hard work will pay off and you'll look back & say you did your best.

When I was a senior in high school, I knew that I wanted to go to The Ohio State University and major in Medical Technology. I was a straight A student, graduated in the top 10 of my class, and received a 29 on my ACT. Everything came so easily for me and I was accustomed to achieving good results with little effort. I was a teenager; I knew everything. I was invincible...until I wasn't. At Ohio State: Obligations - Full-time student Significant obstacles in hindsight - None Effort Exerted - Little Results - Failed. Dropped out after two quarters. Now: Obligations - Full-time student, Full-time employee, complete self-sufficiency. Obstacles - The death of my stepfather in a plane crash two weeks before I started school again. Effort Exerted - Immense Results - Will graduate in the spring. Current GPA: 3.72 Advice to Little Brittany: You are not invincible, and life is not easy. You have to work for everything, and you have to work as hard as you possibly can. Rise above expectations and be strong. Look at the big picture. You have it easy right now, take advantage of that. Be thankful, and don't take anything for granted.

I would advise myself to consider God and myself in every decison. I would advise to steer clear of making decisions based on anything that would not be considered permanent, i.e. boys, athletics, or the opinions of my friends. I'd say "Put your best foot forward, trusting in yourself, your brains, and when all else fails, always go with your gut." But moe than anything, I'd say "Honor God with all your heart, and strive to follow his plan for you. He will not fail you."

If I could go back in time and tell my high school senior self anything, I would tell myself to ask questions. The simple fact of not knowing anything about scholarships or applying for college is what left me in the dust as all my friends started their college years. I would tell myself to sit down with a conselor and ask them what to do, how to do it, and when it needs to be done. I would tell her to retake her ACT and SAT as soon as possible, because taking it after she graduates makes it harder to get good scholarships. If my high school senior self wants to take a year off, I'll tell her to apply for that job at Sam's Club sooner, save 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the money she earns, and lastly, to apply for as many scholarships as possible. I'll tell her that it won't be easy, but with God by her side, she can prove to everyone else that she doesn't need them to be successful.

I have gained a lot through my college experience. It has allowed me to come into my own, and find out a lot about myself, and how strong of a young woman I truly am. There are always new things to learn at college, and always someone new to talk to. College should be a staple in everyone's life, because it allows you to find yourself, and build relationships that will last a lifetime. Attending college has been well worth the money, and the effort it took to get me to this point. In your life, there is always a puzzle to be solved. In college, you can put a lot of the puzzle pieces together. It can be stressful, but it is all worth it in the end. College is amazing, and I would never trade one second or one experience I have had.
