San Antonio College Top Questions

Listen alot better to the teacher's and my parents. Attend school with an open mind and make the best out of each day. Treat each person equaly.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself during my senior year of high school I would tell myself that it is a major life change. There are so many different things that I would say to myself. One would be that there aren't any second chances; the professors aren't as forgiving as high school teachers as far as late work and grading. Make sure to stay on top of your work and STUDY!! Also, making friends with your professor never hurts; you never know how you are going to do in the class, so they might be able to help you out in the end if you're on the fence with your grade. Having a study group is also a great idea. Find people in your classes to study with and that will help a lot. They can help you look at things differently, and maybe help you remember them better. GOOD LUCK!!

The first thing I would have told myself is to prepare for the worst and have a backup plan. I also would have told myself to not procrastinate on any of my applications because that put me at a disadvantage, especially when I ended up missing deadlines. Be prepared to stay in-state because it is usually much cheaper than going out of state, no matter how much you want to leave. If I had been realistic when it came to applying for college, I would be further ahead in my studies and I might have even gotten some scholarships. Because I waited, it didn't matter that I got into my dream college--there was no way I could go there. It's okay to have dreams. Just don't procrastinate and try to be realistic when it comes to achieving them.

Since I graduated pregnant, I would probably go back in time and tell myself to attend Palo Alto College first because alot of pregnant women were attending there and I would have been able to feel a little more comfortable walking the halls and not have everybody staring at me like the way they did at San Antonio College. I would also tell my past self that if I were still to attend San Antonio College, to leave the house an extra 30 minutes early because the parkings ridiculous. By leaving an extra 30 minutes early, I would have a better chance of showing up to class on time and not be the last person showing up to class out of breath because I had to run a good 3 blocks.

If I were able to go back in tme and talk to myself as a highschool senoir i would have so much advice to give.In one word it would be to perservier .I think i would have done so much better if i would have just tried and focused a little bit harder.Thats the best advice I advice i would give to any teenager but in the in end I am grateful for every speedbump because it ultimately lead me to the road of sucess.

I would tell myself not to give up, and only if i had the mentors that I have now to motivate me I would have finishing stronger then I did. I feel that some of the advice I could have provided myself would be to get involved in what you love to do and have fun in all school activities, and most of all believe in your work and don't quit till its finished.

I would advise myself to the homework in college. I would tell myself to excersize more and watch less TV. I would tell myself to be much more open minded, because by keeping a closed mind you blind yourself to all the beauty that the world has to offer.

This scenario is common for most college students. What would i have done differently? maybe try harder, get more organized, have a better plan, do more research. If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would give this advice, Talk to the couselor whenever you need too, this is your future. You don't need to be anxious, everything will work out. And lastly, take your time, it's better to take fewer classes at a time and get A's then load yourself up with classes and get B's or C's.

If i could literally go back to high school and talk myself thru my last year as a senior, i would keep forcing myself to the impossible. I would work a hundred times harder for everything i did. I would do anything i could in order to advance and suceed throughout that year, maybe take better classes in order to have a better look in my future.Even though as a senior you always tell yourself over and over again that "College is going to be fun", i would consider not having those ideas anymore as of present events that i thought wouldn't even cross the top of my mind. I would focus and keep my head up just like any high honor roll student would!

"High School Tobias, it's me. That is, it's you. No time to explain. Just listen. Yes, basketball is fun; sure, pretty girls are exciting; of course, money is nice; and, ok, video games are interesting. But focusing much on any or all of these things is going to eat away at your college preparation like rust on iron. These things are monumentally distracting you, subtracting time from your studies. But, more insidiously--as it took me years to realize--wantonly tossing so much of your attention at these aforementioned fancies, and basing so much of your self-value on them as you do, you have buried alive your own passion for academic achievement under the temporary infatuation and pursuit of ultimately perishable things. High School Tobias, do not pay attention to these distractions. Ignore them. They are smiling cancers. And above all, if you remember only one piece of advice from this undoubtedly unbelievable dream of a future and wiser you, care nothing for what everyone says is, by their words or actions, "cool". "Cool" will set you back a decade. And then you'll be writing a letter of advice, of pleading, to your high school self."
