If I was allowed go back in time to give myself advice about college, I will tell myself to pay a lot more attention in all math classes. Also to practice on becoming a good note taker, because taking good notes is very key in college. I will then tell myself to start reading books every day. Knowing proper grammer in college for my essays in college would of been helpful. Since my English teacher knew very much on the subject. I will then tell myself that not to be so nervus when meeting new people. That's what college is all about, exppanding your knowledge. I well tell myself be more talketive and more sure of yourself when talking to professors and new students. Then also studied extra, for whenever there's free time. Then above all have fun and enjoy the new expeirence.

Attending Prince Georges Community College (PGCC) this past year was not where I intended to start my freshman year, but it was a place that I grew to love and appreciate. In our society there is a stigma about community college: many people believe that you don't receive a true education at community colleges. In my personal experience, I came across the best professors, the best educational resources, and made lasting connections with all types of people this year. Community college gave me the chance gain balance in my life. I was able to juggle going to school full-time, working full, and my social life. At first it was a little challenging but I was able adjust with the help of my committed professors. The best part of my community college was that my professors took interest in seeing me succeed and they were very personable, which made it easy to ask questions. Now as a transferring student to Emory University, I really value the year that I spent at PGCC because it equipped me with necessary skills to be the best student I can be.

Its been valuable to attend college because the experience has taught me so much such as about life. Without college I will be able to go nowhere in life and I will have no future but I have learned that college gives me the oppurtunity to succed in life. I have also grown up so much in college, I now know that its not all about fun and games. If I want to become someone I need to get my priorities straight and buckle down and learn as much as I can. College is the best thing thats happened to me.

I have recieved a very positive outlook on highering my education because of Schreiner. The campus is small and all of the students as well as the professors are extremely friendly. There is a very diverse group of people that attend this school and everybody who attends, fits in with a wide variety of groups. Most of my friends go to larger universties and don't have the one on one teacher-student experience that I am able to recieve by attending a small university. Schreiner University has made it possible for me to go into the direction that I needed for my career dreams and goals and I would never choose any other university or college over it. I am looking for scholarships so that I can continue to further my education and my endeavor to be a school counselor so that I can impact hundreds of kid's lives.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself during my senior year about college life and making the transition, I would start off by telling myself not to worry about it and have fun with the whole process; everything turns out for the best. Because I play soccer for my university, I would strongly advise myself to run more than I did during the summer. Take time to enjoy the friends back home, as well as family, because after you leave for college, your relationships with them will never be the same. Also, I would tell myself to apply for a job on campus and to sign up for a tutor in Chemistry on the first day of school rather than procrastinate. Coming to college is the opportunity to become a new person. If you want to change from the person you were in high school, now is the time to do it and break out of your shell. You can do it. Have faith, and keep trusting in God.

If I could go back and talk to my high school self I would assure myself that I was making the right decision by chosing Schreiner University. I have leared from every experience I have had at this school. I have grown into a person I never knew I would become. However, I would tell my naive self not to go home every weekend to see her boyfriend. I would tell myself to spend more time at school, make more friends, spend time with the friends you do have. Study hard, join clubs, get involved. Go to the University sponsored events, get to know the faculty. Spend more time getting to know the enviroment, and the available resources, and most of all I would tell myself to balance my time better. Spend more time studying, and less time socializing.

"Do not sweat the small stuff" , is exactly what I would tell myself. Many things have happened to me ever since I started going to college and I have noticed that I worried too much over the little things thinking they were big. Now I know they were nothing compared to my future and whats to come. So I would walk up to myself and say not to worry about all these specific things and keep your eyes on the true importance, your future and how you will affect those around you. Of course i would have to get the wierdness of seeing myself out of the way, but I would make sure that I knew what really matters. There would also have to be the winning lottery numbers...

Focus, focus on school work. Balance your social life well so that you have time for some socialization so you don't burn out but remember that this is a time to learn and prepare yourself for life. You really should work on prioritizing, since your time will bes somewhat limited, this will be a good time to learn to set goals and apply yourself as this is a big component of life. Friends are important too, but whether you make close friends or not at this stage in your life, the biggest factor should be learning and discovering what you really want to do in life and learning to do it well.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would warn myself about how homesick and lonely I would get as a college freshman. I never thought that I would get homesick because I have never minded being away from home, but since school has started, I have missed my animals and my friends so much. I have made a couple of friends at school, but the new friends just do not seem to compare to my friends back home. I would also warn myself that it would be a lot harder to find a job than I expected it would be. I thought that with my work experience as dedication, I would not have a problem finding a job once I got to school. I was wrong. It took me forever to find a job, and even then it was only a couple of days per week. I was really nervous for a while that I would not be able to find one.

In college you are continually asked to reach new heights, whether it be academically or mentally, and if you are going to be successful you must always have the confidence in yourself that you will be able to meet these new challenges. I have seen many students at college that have more potential than they know, and if they were to only gain a little more confidence in themselves, I know they would be able to achieve dreams they may have never thought possible. My second word of advice is to always have the motivation and drive to make it through any hardship that may come your way. No matter how impossible it may seem, I can promise that you can make it through. You will face many challenges during your college life, in and out of the classroom alike, and you will face situations that will through you for a loop, but it is through these challenges and situations that you will shape yourself into the remarkable person you will become. Right now you are a person who is full of potential, decide who you want to be, and become a person who can be an inspiration to all.
