If I could go back in time, then I would give myself advice to stay in high school the extra year. I graduate a year early, so going to college was a big step. I would advise myself to take advance placement courses my senior year of high school. By taking advance placement courses, I would have acquired college credits and have somewhat of a better grasp of college life. I would also advise my high school self to take time and figure out a career choice before going to college. When I entered college, I didn’t know the career path I wanted.

In the end, I would not only advise my high school self to not graduate early, but I would also advise to decide a career path before the entrance of college.
