If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would definitely make sure to tell myself to be as involved with as many activies as possible. I would encourage myself to join more clubs and outside organizations that did volunteer work and helped the community. I would also tell myself to make sure my grades and gpa were in order so that I would be able to get into a good college or university. College is much different that high school and although we're told this as high school students there is no way for us to really understand this until we graduate. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as an eighteen year old high school student I would pound into my head everyday the importance of being physically,emotionally, spiritually, educationally, and mentally prepared for college.

If i could go back in time, i would tell myself to spend more time on scholarship applications so i could attend the Unverisity of Maryland instead of droping the option of going there do to the need of financial aid i need to attend. With the aid money my parents would not have to worry about saving every nickel and dime for me just to go to a state college.

If I could go back into time I would tell myself that I should get as many A's in all my classes as I can so I may gain the highest GPA possible. I would also try to take Advanced Placement courses so some of my classes in college would be out of the way. I would also try to network with as many people as possible to find out what college would benifit me the most. I would have to tell myself that I need to take the SAT as many times as possible to get the highest score and get into the college I would want to go to.

If I had the chance to go back and talk to myself when I was in high school it would be a humbling experiance. During my last year of school I just thought i knew everything about how I should spend my time. However if i could talk to myself as a senior i would tell myself that everything does not turn out how you want it to turn out unless you work hard and focus on it; even then some things don't turn out how you want them. I would tell myself that I need to spend time on studying for the SAT so that we could get into a college that we can see our self in. I would tell myself to apply for scholarships that actually mades sense intead of the free givaways. I would tell myself to think about my options do I really want to be a theatre major or do I just like performing? Should I find another major and still perform for fun? The last thing I would say to myself would be that you can do anything and to never give up on our dream for anything.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school student I would tell myself that it is important that I develope good study habits that will help me in college. I would also let myself know that it is important that you develop good social skills and learn how to build relationships with your teachers. I would also let myself know that it is important to do well on the SAT/ACT because that will help you enter into the honors program at your school and recieve a full scholarship.

Before you decide to contemplate about your future, first engage yourself in thinking about what will make you be happy; who will make you happy and where you will be happy? A plan is needed but the plan may not reflect your happiness in the long run. My suggestion to you is to take this seriously and realize that you must be able to function in a environment that will enable your personality to shine and alter greatly through the souls of your other classmates. Your college career only can be what you make it and you must consider your role to search and complete the fulfillment that will be gained effortlessly through the elements in life that causes much delight. Be yourself and do you, for that will allow you to be all that you can be in life and in college. Lastly, make your passion your main focus for that will force you to be obsessed with what you LOVE to do; the money will come as long as your doing what you are passionate about; the money will come with the pursuit of happiness. Money wont bring happiness but Happiness will bring money.

I would tell myself that you are about to enter into a different world call life. This place that you are about to enter is not Westlake High School, put your head up high and welcome to the adult world!!! I also would have made sure I was more organize and consious about time because if you don't have those two main skills you will definitley get lost in this cruel world.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there would be so many things I would have prepared myself for. When it comes to social activities, I would warn myself of the many ways peer pressure can cause you to say yes to things you normally would not have. With this newfound freedom called college, with no parents around to give you a curfew, it is difficult to make wise decisions when all of your friends are out partying and drinking. Stay true to your morals and personal values. In doing so, the pressures of others will not deter you from your goal which is to attain a quality education. With this knowledge, you can succeed in all aspects of your life including academics and extra curricular activities. Becoming involved with organizations that share a similar cause that you value will be rewarding to you for years to come. Make friends with people who are academically-driven and motivated to doing positive things in the community. You will learn so much more from those friends than the few no-good friends who pride themselves on weekends full of liquor and regrets.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school student i would tell myself that i had messed up and took high school for granted. I would say that to myself because the people who took high school seriously and did very well in school recieved scholarships from their colleges that paid for their tution. Myself, I let that slip through my fingers and it is not to late to change so go ahead and try to change everything around.
