The best advice i would give myself is to save every penny i earn. Focus on what I really want and what i am going to need. I would also tell myself to prepare for the future sooner because it gets tough and their are a number of things that can go wrong along the way. Again i would say, SAVE, SAVE, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Assuming i had a time machine i would be a very happy person for other purposes, considering forshadowing college transitions I would tell myself not to get in any financial contracts, from car payments to cell phone payments. Falling into these contracts lessens your college choice mobilty and decreases your finiancial budget for college, something that is never a good choice. Along with this I would tell myself to fill out every possible scolarship and financial aid application in site, this will increase the oportunity for a free ride through your first years of college. Along with planning for a less stressfull financial college future I would tell myself that attending a less prestigious community college will not lessen my opportunity for a successfull future, it might be a smart choice in an outstanding financial strategy for completeting the first years of college. And last i would tell myself to have fun and enjoy myself as a college student because it is going to be the best years of my life.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell myself to take more math classes and to take AP classes. I would tell myself to apply for many scholarships and to not miss any deadlines for college applications. If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to dump that loser I was dating because he will cause you to lose focus on school. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a highschool senior I would tell myself to join more clubs and learn to be a part of a group, instead of being a loner. Unfortunately I cannot go back, so I will finish my education and pass my knowledge to my children so they can have a great college experience which will then lead to a good life for them.

GO TO COLLEGE!!! I took about a three year break from school, and I regret it now. That is the worst thing that I could have possibly ever done. I could have an amazing career right, but instead I am having to work two jobs to pay the bills.

Definately try harder, give it your ALL and don't be scared of change. Life is a risk itself and to succedd you must do anything and evrything it takes. Start the procces as soon as possible it's never to early don't waste any time and do NOT procastinate. Ask everyone and anyone as many question as you can think of don't be hesitant to look dumb because "the only dumb question is that that is not asked." You are capable of doing anything, all you have to do is set your goals, follow them and conquer them.

Pick a degree and stick with it. Once you get a job making good money you can always go back and get a different degree. Also, apply for more scholarships while in high school.

Susan

Whatever you choose to do in life, do it well and never give up. Those who doubt you only wish they were in your shoes doing what you love. Mistakes will be made, but they come as a form of a life lesson not to be ignored, but to be learned from. Most importantly, if it can be taught, it can be learned.

Chase

To listen to my Dad. He always told me to put forth, what I expected in return. I would tell myself to always go to class and procrastinate as least as possible. These three things alone, almost cost me my first semester of college. My parents have invested alot of time and money in me, and in reality, I only have a short time of school left but these decisions will reflect on my entire future.

Ivan

If i could go back and give myself advice as a high school senior i would definately tell myself to plan in advance my entrance to college to choose carefully and gather information about what college i would like to attend and start thinking about what i want as a career and future. College is will require way more focus and time so be ready and remember that it will all pay off in the end.
