Tarrant County College District Top Questions

The most important thing I would go back and tell myself is to not take my class for granted like I did in high school. In high school everything was easy or came easy to me but that is the biggest difference between high school and college. You really have to work for everything you want to achieve and not expect any hand-outs. That doesn't mean you can't have fun along the way because you are supposed to be able to enjoy yourself but that also doesn't mean you can put forth the same effort you did as in high school. You have to really work hard to achieve your goals.

Taking what I know now about college life now back to being a high school senior would be very helpful, in the ways better time mangement and the drive to go the extra mile and gain a greater understanding of the subject at hand and not just worry about getting good grades and thats it.

College is a wonderful experience, it has its up's and it has its down's. You will not just learn material for your major, you will also learn the meaning of hard work and other life lessons. There might be times when things seem to be too much but do not give up, work through it and when you get passed it you will feel on top of the world. Along with your studies make sure to make time for yourself. Go out with friends, go see a movie, just do something that helps you relax, so you will not feel over worked. College is a lot about time mangement and knowing your limits. Most importantly make the most of your college experience. Make friends, do not be afraid to take classes that are not for your major, join a club, or go to a college event. Doing these things will not just help you get a degree it will also help you make freinds for life, and make life just a little easier.

Well first of all you have to aplly for the college you preffer. Then Having to get the acceptance letter and go check at the school for any papers that are necessary for the campus. After every paper work is done, you should go and check if you have received any financial aid in the finacial aid office. If the councelors or advisers tell you that you need to take some test becasue of the other test that you took did not excempt you from taking a certain class, so you have to go and take the test before registering for classes. After that happens go to the councelors and and they will help you chose the classes needed for the field that you choose. Then you pay for the classes, and you should wait to buy all your books until the first day of classes because the proffesors would tell you which books are necessary for the class and which you dont have to get. for the classes you have to be every single day because you will not every singloe information that the profesor says and its way different from the books and study for the test.

I would not wait to attend college later in life. I would have found a way to go to college right after high school graduation. I feel I would have done a lot better then. I seemed to retain more at that age then now; even though I have maintained a 3.0 grade point average. I think I would have done better right after high school.

It would be wiser to attend the college which is offering you a complete scholarship rather than your father's prestigiously-priced alma mater. A large campus can be intimidating and difficult to get around quickly in. If you don't register for classes right away, only the worst times will be left. If this happens, make sure you get to sleep early enough no matter what anyone else says. Also, remember to be yourself and not try to impress people. As a great man once said to me, or will say to you, "loosen up and hide the smart a little."

College life is quite different from high school. There are much homework. College requires students spend a lot of time study for themselves. Becoming a student in college, there is no one reminds students what they have to do. Moreover, students are busy because they have to work after studying in school. They are tired and it is hard to concentrate to study. After knowing what I know about college life and making transition, I could talk to myself as a high school senior. I would study well, try my best to study. I would try to take note because some teachers will give tests that have informations when they teach. Moreover, I would try to attend to class every day to make a habit and it is wasting time to lose knowledge without paying attention in class.

I am a 54 year old student. As a high school senior, I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. My parents enrolled me into a business school where I learned the basics of being a secretary. This was back in the early 1970's. If I knew then what I know now, I would have found out all information I could on health careers, sought out a local college to earn my associates degree, and then proceed onto a four year college to earn my bachelor's degree. Finding a mentor that a high school senior can trust to help with their future is crucial. A caring counselor can make or break a student's future. As it is now, I am starting a new life at a much older age, but at least I will finish my working career doing something I really want to do and not just do something I know how to do. There is hope for all of us if we have enough determination to do it.

If only this were a real possibility! If I could go back in time and speak to myself, I would stress the importance of attending classes even though I was completely bewildered by what I wanted out of life. I would tell myself that the best way to figure out what I wanted would be to expose myself to different arenas of learning. I would also tell myself that in the future, I would face a lot of regret over not getting that college degree. I would paint a very honest picture of what it was like looking for a job without a degree to get my foot in the door. I would also inform myself of how hard it's going to be to return to school with a family to support and a mortgage to pay. Finally, I would wrap up this conversation stating that it's never, ever to late to accomplish your goals.

I would have told myself to study harder for the Taks test, so that I could've avoided taking remedial math in college. I also would have given advice to myself to take Early High School Enrollment, so that I could have completed a few of my college classes early.
