If I was able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there would be a lot of advice I would give myself. The most important thing I would have to tell myself would be to get good grades. High school grades do matter alot when you are applying to colleges. The best thing about getting good grades in high school would be that you can apply for alot of scholarships. For example, if you got all A's and B's during your four years of high school you apply for the Stars Scholarship. If you play a sport, and maintain good grades, you can also get a scholarship for that. I got two C's in my high school career and it kept me off the Stars Scholarship, and when I think about it, I get disappointed in myself because I should have worked harded in those two classes so my parents would not have to worry so much about getting me through college.

The one big advice i would give myself if i were to go back in time is that to make sure not to waste time in college because if one does, one will end up failing one's class and one would have to retake it over again. Moreover, if one fails a class it makes one's grade point average to go down and one will end up wasting money retaking the class. Also, its all about managing one's time and being able to balance having fun and doing school work. That is why the wise men were praised for having proclaimed the axiom, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy".

If I was given the opportunity to go back in time and talk to myself as a senior there are many things I would have tried to say to myself. I would have told myself to work just a little harder rather than giving in to 'senioritis' and to focus on school rather than anything else. I had many friends in high school, almost all of whom I am no longer in touch with. I wish there were a way of foreseeing the future so that at that crucial point in my life I could have been focusing on more important things like school and family. I also would have told myself to become more active in extracurricular affairs since they actually motivate students to do better in studies; I am learning this after coming into college. Not only have playing tennis and being a part of Phi Theta Kappa boosted my self-esteem and made me a more positive-thinking person but I also see that the more involved I am in such extracurricular activities the better my grades are. These changes in high school may have made quite a difference to me now.
