If someone trys to put you down, keep your head up and do not listen.

If I knew what I know now as a senior in high school, i would have participated more in clubs, and would have been into more student activities.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to plan ahead for each semester as far as money is concerned. Sometimes financical aid do not cover everything and that it's hard trying to get the remanding money that you need.

Attending a college or university opens a variety of doors and having a college experience is one that you would not want to miss out. Colleges help you grow. Be wise and have fun.

Even though it may be your last year in school and you think your pretty much finished, nothing is finished until you walk across the stage. Until then, you should be working to your full potential. There is never anytime for slacking.

If I could talk to my former high school senior self, I would tell myself to slow down and enjoy the ride. I have had a rollercoaster of a time since I graduated high school.

I would also tell myself to take time to have a life outside of school.
