Missouri Western State University Top Questions

I would tell myself to not spend all of my money on useless stuff. Save up that money to pay for books so you're not constantly worrying if you're even going to be able to afford them each semester. I would tell myself to pick up the slack and study for once because you'll need to later on. Apply for scholarships while you're still in school so you're not applying mid school year to cover the tab. Be proactive. Don't wait for tests to come up to study. Instead study while you go so you don't have to cram so much. Work on getting pre knowledge of the major you want to do so you have a little headstart and try to discover new possibilities with it.

Dont make boys the focus of your life, there are so many and you will find the right guy one day. When you get older you will be able to live as an adult so dont rush it and try to grow up too fast. FWI you will really need to know the stuff you will be learning in your economics class, so listen up. Your family is the most important and will be the only people who will be there by your side always. Love yourself.

If I were to go back in time, I would tell myself not to wait to go to college. I would advise myself of all the processes I've learned about going to college. My re-visited self would be better armed with knowledge of what the process of selecting classes, utilizing advisors, getting financial aid, applying for scholarships, and other facets of college that are necessary and beneficial. My future self would also be able to encourage my past self that I possess the abilities and skills necessary to succeed.

Apply for scholarships now! You'll need them later as to avoid the massive debt you're forced to take on otherwise.

Don't give up! There's a lot of confusion and termoil in your life and college, at times can feel like it's making everything worse, but hang in there. You are going to learn things that will not only (one day) make you a better teacher, but a better person. What more could you possibly ask for? Chin up and smile big!

Apply for more scholarships. In fact, apply for every scholarship you see because you are going to need them.

If I could go back in time and tell myself anything about college life, I would tell myself to stay more focused on my education and live my life to the fullest. You only have one life to live so live it up like each day is your last! Plus college is no joke! I f you want your degree you need to work hard, study even harder. I dream to one day become a Registered Nurse and I eill make the dream a reality with dedication and prayer. I know I am meant to succeed but success is not handed to you, you have to put work in. I was pretty lazy in high school. Very bright, but lazy. In college I knew i could not continue to be the way. I have a 2.94 GPA because of prayers being answered and work being done. It will all be worth it in the end!

The advice I would give myself is to learn to handle things on my own. In college, you gotta be very independent especially since you're a foster child. Had I known I was going to get completely kicked out by my foster mom, I would have definitely prepared myself way better.

Buy books online, and ask high school counselor more questions.

Dear myself, PAY ATTENTION! Stop doubting yourself! Focus more on education and less on makeup! Do NOT be intimidated to ask questions, and always accept assistance. Stop worrying about what other people may think – your future is more important. Sit in the front row so you can pay attention and actually see the chalk board! YOU are responsible for your own education. DO NOT take education for granted. Education is your tool for a successful future! Be a collector of knowledge, soak up as much information as you can absorb and you will bask in the warm embrace of success! You ARE intelligent and highly capable of being very successful. Knowledge is power! Knowledge will open up many doors of opportunity. You WILL surpass your own expectations. Refuse to allow negative emotions stumble you. Be brave and force yourself to move forward and closer to your goals and dreams. There will be many obstacles that attempt to thwart you off your educational journey. Stay focused and positive and you WILL overcome these adversities that try to block your achievements. Believe in yourself. Follow your dreams. NEVER give up. You CAN do it! Sincerely, Me (19 years in the future)
