Lubbock Christian University Top Questions

If I could go back it my senior year and talk to myself I would say to always do what you want to do and focus on yourself and your future. Don't let any outside factors influence your choices about the life you want in the future. You have one life-time and you need to do what YOU want to do. Don't let yourself continue in life with "what if" questions. You will need to give 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in anything you do because you have control of it and you can do whatever you set your mind to. If you want to go play sports in college give it 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, if you want to become a doctor give 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in every class (even in classes where you don't think it matters towards your degree). If I could give myself one more bit of advise it would be to never give up. No matter how tough or hard it may be or how tired, scared, or nervous you may be never give up on yourself or your goals, becuase I promise if you put 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in now your future will be worth it in the end.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself my senior year of high school, the subject of the conversation would be about keeping an open mind. When I was a senior in high school I felt that I had my life planned out for myself. I knew exactly where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do as a career, etc. I've discovered, in my college career, that plans change on an everyday basis. I would motivate my past-self to understand that the best way to have a successful college career, and a successful life for that matter, is to always be willing to open up to new possibilities. The most important thing I could tell myself my senior year, would be to embrace change rather than fight change. Having a general idea of where life needs to go is good, but being open to change creates opportunities that can change a life forever, and direct it on an even better path from the original plan.

If I were going to go back in time and advise myself as a high school nenior regarding college life, I would begin by telling myself to visit several schools and take advantage of any camps or orientation events they might have where I could meet students and faculty and really get a feel for what the school has to offer. I would stress how important it is to know the people who make up my new "home" both in classes and in the dorms and other social areas on campus. I would also advise myself regarding taking the time and effort to apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible so that I could be ready financially for each semester and year. There is a lot of financial aid available and it is well worth the time to look for scholarships or grants that are available for people in my current financial situation. It may take some disciplined effort, but when the school bills and fees present themselves, it is wonderful to have the assistance. A little extra work is a small price to pay for great financial aid.

In the few weeks I've been that I've been here, I have experienced an explosion in learning, and in learning more about myself and who I really am. I've been challenged to do better, perform better, be better, and to explore my relationship with God, which has bettered me in every way possible.

As a former homeschooled student my attendance at Hinds Community College has helped me to be more open to other people and their ideas.Before attending I was a typical student, sheltered by my parents.Hinds cc helped me to be more outgoing by providing me with teachers who pushed me in the areas I needed to be pushed in the most.These teachers taught me that nothing was ever set in stone as long as I was willing and that some barriers were meant to be broken.

I am only just now being enrolled for the first time in over 20 years. I will be starting in just a few days. I can tell you that I am a recently divorced mother of three without a higher education. School will give me the opportunity to better myself and help take care of my family.

Attending Lubbock Christian University has allowed me to learn many new things. Obviously, going into college I was expecting this, but the one thing I have learned more about each day is God. Growing up I never went to church, so therefore coming into college I only knew the beginning stories of the bible. Going to Lubbock Christian it is a requirement to take a bible class. At first, I wasn't looking forward to this, but as the days go by it is becoming one of my favorite classes. This bible class has definitely been one of the most valuable, beneficial things I will take away from my college experience. I have learned so much already, and I am very excited to see what else I will learn throughout the semester. No matter where life takes me I will never forget and I will always treasure the things I have learned in that class. This bible class is teaching me every day better ways to live my life for God, and although it has only been a short amount of time since I have joined this class, I will forever be changed because of it.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about college, I would tell myself to study harder and not just slack off. I would never try hard and would never actually read my chapters. In math class I would either copy someone or never show up for the simple fact, I didnt understand. If I could go back I would push myself to fully read my chapters, and I would force myself to get a tutor and practice my math problems whenever I didnt understand. I also would have pushed myself to finish high school instead of obtaining a GED. I know I had good reasons to get the GED and it was the only thing I could do, but it would have never hurt for me to graduate a year later than scheduled. Instead I received the GED a year earlier, and never got the chance to do things most high school students got to do. I would have told myself to stick it out, study, study, study and to never let a small obstacle get in my way, or let anyone get in my way from obtaining what I want out of life.

For me I would tell myself to go to college. I would then not be starting over with a child and an ex husband that was abusive. I think that I would not have stayed with him so long if I had gone to college after high school.

Pray about it. Go and check it out. Try to build contacts with people there before you go.
