Rust College Top Questions

Well I would mainly tell myself to enteract with more people. I say that because I get very nervous with public speaking. I would ask could I talk in front of the lower classmates just to practice speaking in front of crowds. At my graduations it seemed like I only needed to practice because I practiced my speech a lot of times and I had to speak in front of a lot of people. That's about the only thing I would tell myself because in high school everything was nice. I ranked number one of my class out of 109 students. I had a 4.2 grade point averge(GPA), I was on the honor roll all four years of high school, I was in the national honor society, and I am was in a intership.

After my first year in college, i have realized a few things that I would tell my previous high school senior self. I would start by saying "DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT bring all of your clothes with you because you tend to shop when you get bored; so there is no reason to bring old things when you get new things every weekend." I would also tell myself "Don't stress out when you do not get what grade you want in a classroom. It's a lesson you have to learn to know what you have to do to be better in the next class you take." The last thing I would tell myself is "Be open to new things and people. You've been so afraid of new people coming into your life because of past problems and situations, but it's not worth missing out on people you will never forget at college; all you have to do is let them in."

When being asked the question if I could go back in time and give myself advice about college, I would tell myself you have to be alert at all times. Though you are away from home and you dont have family around you to tell you what to do you have to be familiar with your surroundings because anyone can come on the campus. Also I would tell myself that partying is not everything, it is ok to go out and have a good time but if you do decide to go out, come back to your dorm at a decent time so you can get hours of a good sleep and time to get ready for class the next day. Futhermore I would tell myself to build a relationship with the professor's that you have, the professors are willing to help you with any questions that you many have and even activities that you would like to be apart of. In addition, I would also say is stay tuned in with God because he will never leave your side, also I would say is stay in touch with you family because they are here to help us.

If I had the opportunity to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would encourage (almost force) myself to start college immediately after graduating high school. During my senior year of high school in 1998, I was accepted into the Milwaukee School of Engineering with a partial scholarship. However, I chose to move four states away and live with my boyfriend instead. I struggled to earn and keep employment over the past ten years because I did not have a college education. It took me over a decade to realize that a college education really makes a difference. Today, I am happy to say that I have an associate's degree in business management (graduated in 2010), and I am currently pursuing my associate's degree in accounting and administration. I still have the same boyfriend and we have a wonderful 9-year-old son. A college education makes all the difference in the world! I am extremely grateful for my current college opportunity. What an experience!

The advice i would give myself about college life and making the transition within myself is always remind myself that you are the master of your own environment. I will continue to remind myself that i have the power to choose and act accordingly.

When adults told me that my high school years are the most critical years of my life I did not know how true it would be until later in my college years. On my first day of high school, I made a joke but it was not funny to everyone. An upperclassman told me that I still acted as if I were in junior high. Not many freshmen want to be considered immature in high school. I learned to just be myself. My sophomore year was the year of love! That sentence alone should tell you that there is much advice to give myself. There is plenty of time for love. My junior year was the toughest year for me. My father passed and everything changed for me. My father was the type of person who loved education and reading and so do I. My advice during this time is to be strong throughout all your situations no matter how much it hurts or how hard it gets. My senior year, I truly miss the most. My advice to myself is to cherish this year as much as possible and go into the world hungry for knowledge and success!

The first advice that I would give myself is to have my own mind. In college I let my social group influence me to drink, smoke, and miss classes and become sexual active. The second advice I would give is to stay focus. People would do anything to try to stop you from becoming successful but you have to keep going for your dream. It would be best to set goals for yourself because your goals would remind you of what you are trying to do with your life. The third advice would be is have confidence. I recommend myself to not be afraid to try new things and become more involved socially. Finally the best advice I would give myself is to never give up. Transitioning from high school to college life is a challenge for every new college student. If you stay focus on your goals and do not let anyone negatively influence you than you will be dome successful.

If I could go back in time I woud have told myself to pay better attention and to listen to teachers and counslers when they gave me advice. If I had paid better attention in class and put more effort into my senior year of high school my transition into college life would have been much easier. Paying attention and studying for all my high school senior courses would have shaved off some of the extra work and studying I had to put in this past semster. Additionally, if I could go back I would also tell myself to be more motivated and to put time into all my assignments and projects to learn from them, instead of just doing them to get them done. My lack of effort in my senior year clearly affected my freshman year of college. Had I put more effort into my last year of high school, my freshman year of college would have been less challenging.

I have goten a multitude out of my first yar college experience, I have become attached to friends that I will kno for the rest of my life, I have also learned certain skills dealing with radio technology with on-air experience as well as television technology with on-air experience. It has been valuable to me andhas impacted me towant tod better for myself and for my community.

If i was given the chance to go back in time and talk to myself about college life I would have a few improtant things to say. First I would tell myself that college is not like what you see on the TV, that is if you want to be successfull. Because I spend many hours studying I don't have time to party. The next thing I would tell myself is that I should study more often so i can make better grades to get a scholarship, because paying for student loans is tough. The last and final thing i would tell myself is to enjoy my time in high school because college life is totally different.
