Morehouse College Top Questions

College experience is one of a kind. I was first introduced to college from my senior year in High School back in 2008. I was a duell enrollment student and from then on i have loved college. I feel it can better somebody mentally and physically. It gives you a self-esteem boost that you sometimes need and it keeps you thinking and constantly on the move. Everybody needs to experiance the college life. You meet new people and have a chance to better yourself and get ready for a hopefull and rewarding career. College has made me a better person, made me feel good about myself feeling as if I was becoming somebody and doing something so I could be proud of myself and make others proud of me. College is the way to go and is very rewarding.

College has opened my eyes to whole different light that i never knew existed. Not only learning in a field, that draws me but also meeting indivuals with different backgrounds. Not only my professors but also fellow students have made a impact on my life. With all these wonderful ideas and ways of life, has made me a well roundeded person. So, learning, growing into the man i m suppose to be and making a career for myself, are just a few things that i have got and learn to valuable at college.

The best advice i could myself if i went back in time would be time management. It is the most important thing about college, you have to know when to study and when to play, when to do homework and when to go out with your friends. If your time management is poor, it can lead to failure in class because you will have an uneven balance of the two lives in college. You must be able to balance the school life and the social life, and you always want to have your school in front but u have to have a very social life in order to keep you balance in school and keep you from crazy. i would tell myself about the pitfalls that come with college and managing your time correctly because if it is played with it can hurt your college sucess in a major way.

It is very important to have an idea of what your strengths are and where you want to be in life as an adult. As a high school senior, you may not have a concrete idea of where you want to be in the future but take the time to find out what your strengths are - what you enjoy doing that can earn you the money and recognition that you would like to get based on the things you would want to accomplish in life. With this knowledge of your strengths, do the research on which college or university offers the courses that can help achieve your career goals and then apply to them. Keep your grades high in school so that you can then get into the college of your choice. Be sure to always respect your parents or those that raised you because you are always their pride and joy. Always let them know how much you love and respect them by doing what they have asked of you and exceeding their expectations. Always keep these pieces of advice in front of you and you will never fail in life. Finally, take time to learn from your experiences.

Make a decision about your major and stick with it. Constantly changing majors slows you down far more than majoring in "the wrong field." Any undergraduate degree will help your future, and as long as you do not choose an area that you find uninteresting, it will be well-worth your time. Also, I know that you have a strong idea about what the next 50 years will probably bring, but life is always confusing and full of the unexpected obstacles. Make the best decisions you can for today and let the future you make the best choices she can in that future time Not only do you need to be willing to learn every day, but please search for something to learn each morning. Just because it is easy to study now, do not assume that knowledge will always come easily. Put in the effort to remember the material beyond the tests. It will help you in future situations and courses as well. Friends come and go, but you are always with your thoughts and God.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to take more challenging classes. I would have also told myself to spend more time studying rather than socializing with friends. Another point I would have mentioned is to apply for scholarships and financial aid early and take the ACT or SAT more times than I did. I would have also told myself to do get in the habit of doing community service projects and mentoring.

Undoubtedly, the skinny, 17 year old Kyle Jacob would be ecstatic to see a slightly taller Kyle Jacob who looks much older due to the stress of his first semester at Morehouse College. He would be excited that in nine months, his tufts of chin hair would evolve into a full beard that needed constant shaving. Im almost certain he would have many questions I couldnt answer, 18 year old Kyle has many priorities at Morehouse and little time to waste. "Listen closely", I would tell him, although I wouldnt need to, even the Kyle of today listens intently to a man trying to educate. "Focus" I would say. In highschool, many things deterred my focus as a student. With my 20/20 view on the past, I would break down our vices; girls, television and facebook. He would learn that by reducing the time spent on these things, it would clear up his schedule for more productive purposes, like scholarships. I would let him know that know that Morehouse is struggling financially and even if he did well, there was no guarantee that the school would be able to aid him financially. "Do scholarships for an hour a day".
