I wasted time because I lacked of information before I went to Northern Virginia Community College. Thus, if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would help myself prepare three things. First, English is the most important thing need to be developed. I must seriously study on the right track, which is focusing on listening and speaking, to avoid being confusing in my first year. Second, I had to learn the convenient of Internet. Everything is on the internet so I would tell myself go look for information of schools and I would recommend Northern Virginia Community College as the top of the list. Lastly, knowing about the favorite major is the key to success. I should ask myself at that time to gather more information about pharmacy, the career I liked. Therefore, I could have a full image in my head about what a pharmacist really does and how to be a pharmacist. Thanks for the chance to go back in time. I think I would fix some mistakes I made in study so I wouldn't waste much time struggling around as I did.
