The advice I would give my myself is do not settle for less always push yourself to achieve greater. Study hard for the exams. Keep your grades up because your GPA is gold in college so its very important to keep them high. Expand your horizons, and take has many classes as you feel necessary to become a well rounded individual.

Don't let anybody bring you down or make you doubt yourself. Try not to take anything too seriously, and don't regret or worry about things you can't change. None of your energy is wasted when you take everything in as an experience, be it positive or negative. Enjoy the ride.

Joan

As a high school student, many of us tend to not take class as serious as we should. As an example, I really only cared about the grades I would receive instead of really trying to understand the material. So, one thing I would change is to actually pay attention to the teacher and try to retain as much information as I can, because much of the material is brought up again in college. I would aslo, tell myself to join clubs, and sports, because it can actually help you out to become more social.

Well, i would tell myself to always stay ahead of the game in all of my classes, because even though you might pass them all with a passing grade, when you do get to college, the classes are alot harder and more challenging. So if you must, just keep your grades up.

I would recognize that College is a lot of fun if you enhance yourself in curriculum activites and community services. I would focus on completing my Bachelor's Degree in two years instead of four and continue up to my Doctorate's Degree. I will take into consideration any programs or internships offered relating to my intended major. Moreover, I will make sure I strive for the best I can during my college years in order to be a recognized and successful individual.

If i could go back as a high school senior I would tell myself to be dedicated once I enter into college. I would tell myself not to give up and strive harder. I would advise myself to pick my classes early to get the best classes. I could reach out to professor's because they are usually glad to help out. I would also advise myself to plan my schedule wisely so that I have enough time outside of school to study and complete my assignments.

Being recently graduated I already wish i would have done things diffrent. To go back to september of my senior year, I would have told myself to think harder, and figure it out. Decideing what to do with your life is to me one of the toughest choices any person will ever have to make, and I wasn't a kid who from birth knew what they wanted to do in life, be a doctor, or an athlete. So as you can imagine, choosing wasn't easy. All and all i just didn't want to make that choice, so i did what i shouldn't of, and put it off. If i could go back right now, I would tell myselft to dig deep, think hard, work on scholarships, and do everything i am doing now. The fact that yes im going to school is great, but i wish i would have started early, wrote as many essays as i possibly could. That would be the best advice i could give myself.

I would tell myself to start looking at better colleges to transfer to after Miami Dade College. To have begun looking into and obtaining the funds back in high school would have spared me from a good deal of anxiety right now. I do enjoy the phrase "better late than never", but the reality is better now than later.

Andrea

After experiencing my first year of college, I saw that everything in the academics of students are taken in more seriously. GPAs will matter to potential transfer schools, every homework, test and essay will affect even the slightest point on your class grade, and professors do not tend to accept excuses for late work. When I was a senior, these kind of things gave me stress and I kind of gave up on myself when everything became harder. If I were to talk to myself during my senior year, I would say that things are always going to have a challenge attatched to it and I can do it. I have the potential and the answers will be right in front of my eyes.
