Tarrant County College District Top Questions

I would definately tell myself that there are lots of opportunities out there for assistance. As a young single mother, I did not persue my college dream, due to the need to take care of my children. College was not an option, now here I am many years later following my dream to get a college education. There are lots of doors to open, you just have to be persistant in looking for the right ones.

I would tell myself that find as many scholarships as I can. Also no matter what put school first though having fun is a great way to keep yourself from stressing out to much but to much fun can be deadly to your grades. I would also let me know that all the struggles i had to go through to get back on top. One semester of fun can equal a year of hard work.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would honestly tell myself that I have made a smart decision in going to a two year community college. Saving my parents money is my top priority. I would also tell myself to take dual credit classes that way I would not need to take them in college. Also tell myself to apply for all the scholarships I can apply for, who doesnt need money for all those college books one needs to buy for class. Other than that I think I am doing a pretty good job being a college freshman.

This question always crosses my mind. If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, the first thing that I would tell myself would be that there is more to life than highschool and drama and stupid high school boyfriends. I would tell myself that I need to quick thinking selfishly and start becoming involved in extra-curricular activities. I would tell me that I need to start attending church and volunteering in the community. If anything I would suggest to myself that I should join Art Club or work harder to be in A.P. classes. I would tell myself to quit slacking off and start trying harder in my classes to make better grades. These things would have helped me so much more now when it came to applying for schools and scholarships. When I was done lecturing my senior self about all the things I was capable of, I would also add that I need to enroll for college earlier so that I would bypass the 2007 drop law and to always make sure I knew what day my final exams were so I wouldn't have missed my Psychology exam.

I would tell my self to be prepared for a wake up call, college is another ball game. You would have to be more active in your search for scholarship money, your parents might not always come through, plus the job market isn't to good. Also make sure you enjoy your high school years, some Colleges dont have what you had in high school, so it will be hard to change from doing an activity to not doing it at all.

I would first tell myself to not sweat the small stuff. Don't get caught up in the pressures that one is faced in this world. Go to school for you and no one else. See college as a journey and a process to get from point A and eventually make it to point Z. Its ok if it takes you a little longer than you expected. Don't compare your abilities or experience to anyone elses. Its uniquily yours. Be open to going in a new direction and don't second guess yourself. Be confident in your abilities and strive for nothing but the best! College really isn't as scary as you might think it is.

As easy as you keep saying it is to yourself , you should still keep trying your hardest to succeed. Don't be lazy and put things off till the final moment you might or will probably end up failing cause of that. The future might seem far and while you dont feel like anything is happening to you right here and now or in a few months. Think of it like the rpgs you play but on a grand scale. Your weak right now but you will always be getting experience points. Slow it may seem but eventually you'll get to the top like in those games and be able to hold your head up high. Be proud and keep working, you would see the results right now but you will in the future. So dont be lazy and dont think wont add up, your just growing slowly like in the mmorpgs.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself in high school, I would tell myself to not move out and to start collage right after the summer. I would also give my self information about my exgirlfreinds between my senior year in high school to now so I didn't make the same mistakes.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school student, I would advise myself to pick up a habit of studying more often, and spending more time trying to prepare myself for the journey ahead. Also I would look more into the different fields of study that i am interested in to have a better understanding of what options i would have in the future for my career. I would also change the way i spent my finances, it would have been better to save the extra money i had than to have just spent it going out having fun, or on things i did not need. Now I'm struggling with finances because of bills and also because my car broke down. I am having to rely on other people for transportation to work and to school. If I had planned ahead for that in the past, I would not be in the bind I am today. If i knew the things i do now that i did not know then, I would be in a better position in school, and I would not be struggling so much.

If I were to go back threes years ago and have a conversation with my senior self I would have alot to say about college. I would tell myself to accept that I wont be going to a big party school university-and be happy with myself no matter what. Then I would say to be patient, it takes time to learn and you cant rush progress. I would continue with saying to Absorb the life that is around you, soak in the moments that seem to have passed you by before. To wrap it up I would close with saying that very soon responsibility will be infront you and you need not to run away but to confront and be prepared- the only way to do that is to graduate and conquer my future! ... If i were to meet with my self thats the message I would want to get across.
