To be more focused and to take on all challanges with the ability to do great.

I were to go back in time and talk to myself about college life and making an transition from high school to college, I would tell myself not to feel ashame and embarrased for asking for accomodations because of my disability, to be opened to taking classes abroad, and to involve myself in more school activities.

if i could go back and talk to myslef before coming here, I would tell myself to stay focused and watch the people you hang around because you become the people you hang around. Also to make time for football and school and study study study. dont try and jugle a bunch of women because all thats going to do is take up all of your free time and you will end up broke and lonely at the end of the day

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would advice my myself to study and read alot more. I have learned that studying the material outside of the classroom will help you master it. I would also advice myself to manage my finances properly and listen to others. There have been times where I did not have enough money to buy books and had to borrow or copy others. Another thing I would advice myself is to participate in acitivities on campus. By participating in activites on campus this would allow me to get to know others and better my communication skills. Lastly, I would have been motivated and confident about starting college. I was not very confident my first year in college and decided to drop out. Once I set my goals and realized that obtaining a Bachelors Degree of Science in Accounting was one of them I enrolled again. Enrolling back in college was the best choice I could have made. It has taken me longer than a traditional student to become a Senior, however I am graduating May 2014 and am more confident than I have ever been.

The advice I would give to myself is simple. First I would tell myself to take advantage of all of my resources often. A student should know what and where every available resource is on their campus and how to take advantage of it. Beyond that it doesn't make sense to do something that will benefit you only once. Do it as many times as possible and doing that would connect to my second piece of adavice; NETWORK. Once you know where everything is and take advantage of the resources available, make sure that the people in charge of these resources know who you are. This makes most petty issues at school disappear with a phone call. Cultivate these relationships and the wil go a long way. Lastly, Do Your Work. All the relationships in the would won't get you a degree if you aren't doing your work. Doing work and being talented are two different things as well. Talent without work ethic is meaningless, but those who aren't talented who have work ethic will go far. So what ever you do make sure the work comes first.

absolutely nothing, i believe God orchestrated me landing at morgan for a reason

I would say that i should stay focused and be able to balance my studies and social life.

College is not as hard as people made it seem. Its a lot better then high school, you will make better grades.

I would tell myself to apply for a lot of scholarships and retake the Math COMPASS test to get a higher score. Even thought my parents are making me go to Trident, do not doubt what you can learn. Also the math is really easy and the homework is online, so do not get in trouble and keep the calculator at home. Always take your engineering notebook/or sketch with you.
