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.

The first advice I would give would be prepared for those sleepless nights. I would urge myself to avoid procrastinating and began assignments promptly. I would recommend not being consumed with only trying to get good grade but enjoying other activities my college has to offer. My last but most important advice would be learn all you can be never forget who are and what brought you to the point where you are now.

When I entered my senior year of high school I treated it just as I had treated all of my education leading up to it. My main goal concerning my education was to complete the work that was set before me. Throughout my high school years I was homeschooled and while working with my parents it was determined that the main focus of high school would be to achieve my diploma. While working to achieve the diploma was rightfully a good goal, it being the only goal resulted in a problem. That problem was I never worked towards other goals that would be beneficial to my future. If I could go back and talk to my senior self I would advise myself to work towards a college goal. I would recommend looking at colleges that were good for me and, most importantly I would press myself to find a passion that I could use to assist myself in finding a career that is right for me.

Being a college student is a far different life than being a high school student. High school is an education system whose principles are based upon providing a broad education experience, while college is an education system that focuses on a single field of study. College classes expect the majority of work and studying to be done by students outside of the classroom, and students that do not study outside the classroom do not earn the high grades others are achieving. Good advice from a college student to a high school student would be to think more about the future, and to plan on what goals to set and how to achieve them. A common goal to create would be setting an achievable GPA to work for. Many students create much more stress for themselves by setting a very high GPA and underachieving that goal than creating a goal they can achieve. Creating a study schedule to follow habitually, determine the best methods of studying, and balancing a work and school schedule are good skills to work at also. The best way to prepare for college is to eat, sleep, and breathe like a college student.

I would tell myself to study the most i could.

Dear Chikere, I am your past writting to your present. If you could go back to the days when you were a high school senior the main advice I would give you is to do more research into the college life, appy for scholarships, and be more involved in high school. College is a great networking place If you were more involved in acadmic clubs or perhaps sports paying for school probably would have been a breeze. You should have applied for scholarships and never doubted yourself because with faith anything can happen. I know the past is the past but its never to late to try for a better future. But, regardless of your high school decisions you are still paving your acadmeic success in college. I am proud of you. sincerly, Your high school self.

The advice i would give myself is to make the necessary financial arrangements. while matriculating through my first year in college , i knew for a fact that i did not do all the research that i should have. Another thing i would tell my high school self is to never go without buying books and to never let anyone get best of you.

Find a mentor or an upperclassmen that will give you great advice and can guide you to make the right decisions. Take your school work seriously because you want to get the most out of your learning experience. Even though you may be hesitant look to get involed with an on campus organization, or play a sport. As far as roommates are concerned, only room with people you really know and trust and make sure you have your own room that can be locked and unlocked with a key. Make sure you have a job, preferably on campus, so you can have money for typical expenses. Try not to be a reckless spender in the event you receive a refund check, save as much as you can without buying things you absolutely dont need.

The advice I would give to my high school self would be to slow down and enjoy life. I fought so hard against my parents to getout and do things I wasnt ready for and now that I have done the stuff I ask was it worth the fight? But thats just a hard headed kid for you thinking the grass was greener on the other side. I would tell myself to take school more serious and realize my potential and propel farther. I would tell myself to take some college classes and try harder in my AP classes. I would tell myself that ny petty things that happen during high school isnt that important. I would tell myself to make sure not to stress myself out and enjoy life in the moment

Punishing yourself for past mistakes helps no one, and can actually prevent you from being successful in college and in life. When you mess up (as you will many times), don't beat yourself up for it. Mistakes serve a purpose-- self-education. Analyze what happened, what you did, and the results of your actions. Consider what you could have or should have done instead. Take comfort in the fact that you have learned from your errors and that you now know how to avoid repeating them in the future. Do what you can to minimize any hurt you may have caused to others AND to yourself. Once you have done these things, you don't have to make yourself feel bad about screwing up. The mistake has served its purpose; it taught you something. You've done what you could to make things right, and you won't make that mistake again. Remember, being perfect isn't the point. You're learning, just like you're supposed to. Yes, it hurts and gets you down a lot, but even the happiest people have made grievous errors in their past. They learned from them and moved on. You can, too.

I would tell myself to not slack off in high school, and play around in certain classes. To start thinking about college and what my major should be right off the back. To do research about colleges based on the professors, teaching regarding my major, and other things like cost. Become active in shadow activities to learn about what I would like to do later in life when I decide to go to college.
