Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi Top Questions

I would tell myself to be a little more cautious about what I want to major in. I don't want to waste time becoming an undeclared major. I would also tell myself that I should've participate in more clubs and organizations at our school, and not to be so shy around people because I missed out on so many oppurtunities. I would tell myself to stop worrying about the love and relationships with people who will distract me from my goals. I should have kept myself on track with assignments and think critically during projects.

be open minded, explore and let yourself have fun. always put love in what you do and you will be fine work harder then you did in the past and push to be the best there are alot of people who are willing to help you and belive in you, you need to belive in yourself. Also, dont eat so much of the roman noodles yes your cheep and they are good tasing but they don't help with the losing wait prossess. enjoy work and school be thakful for the opertunitys you have been given and keep proving that with the help and motivation you wont let anyone down. always strive to be the best but dont ever forget that a little fun never hurt anyone.

If I knew what I know now and had the chance to go back, I would tell myself to focus on school and not boys. I got pregnant my senior year in high school and put off college until last year, nearly 10 years later. I would sit down and explain how much harder life is without an education and that raising children, although is a joy, will be much harder without an education and career behind you first. I would tell myself to focus on school, get a good education, get a good career started and be financially ready to have kids. I would remind myself of everything I want to give my kids and that if I contiue doing what I am doing then I will end up with 4 kids, no education, no career and a heart that is constantly breaking because I can not give them the life that I had always thought I would be able to. Basically, just to stay in school, go on to college and make something of myself and not to be so wrapped up in finding the love of my life.

If I had the chance to go back in time, I'd quickly grab myself and shake me saying to stop goofing around and get to applying for more scholarships! Stop slacking and being so lazy! But most of all, I'd tell myself to not be so hard on myself and thinking so negatively because everything is going to work out. See, going into my senior year I didn't feel i needed to try. I didn't think I needed to try because I never believed in a million years that a University would want to take me in and help me become more than I am. My thoughts were that I wasn't smart enough or good enough. Going back in time and having the chance to tell myself that my beautiful brain got me into A&M Corpus Christi, it would have changed everything and how I approached everything. It was a rough year, but now I'm here extremely excited to become a nurse and be someone bigger than I am now.

Basically, it would to be to take my academics more seriously. I was in a dual credit program that allowed me to complete in an associates of science by the time i graduated high school, but because I didn't take my Fall semester seriously, I was kicked out of the program and was one class away from getting my associates, whch caused my fathr to become incredibly dissapointed and sad at my wasted opportunity. With that being said, I would tell my younger self to always keep my Father in mind when I plan to do anything, so that level of dissapointment would never happen again.

Going back to the past, i would make s many things before starting college. One of thing will be had taken the Dual Credit classes that school offfer for free, the classes were given in school studenst were only responsible for paying for their books. If I was to go back i would have some of my basic done; Englisg 1301 and 1302, History 1301, and 1302, before entering college, and saned money. The second things was to take the Accuplacer, and Thea they are all the time free, but I never took the time to realy thin about it, becasue teachers really did not explain why we shourl take it. I would research what role did teh accuplacer meant, With the accuplacer I with take more seriously when it took the first time, and second time, becasue what I found that in college, is that the Accuplacer Test is for the college to know in which level or reading,math, writing studenst are. With the accuplacer take it mnay times as possible until to pass every section, take quiz online on how the accuplacer is, so I could had an idea what to expected in the accuplacer.

There are so many things that I would like to go back and tell my high school self. One of which would have been to take college more seriously. I should have participated in the running start program at my school. It’s amazing how much time, money and effort that would have saved me. It is not as if I wasted away my high school years; I obtained good grades and participated in sports but when it came down to crunch time for scholarships and colleges, I lacked the motivation. Now having been a part of the work force, I fully understand the value of the dollar and wish I had taken more steps to making my college experience more affordable. Even though some of my young and immature decisions have changed the course my education, it has made me who I am today. I have grown, learned from my mistakes and I am ready to better myself and decision making so that I can continue furthering my education

We can’t change the past, we can’t foresee the future, we, as humans, are stuck here in the present, but what if you could go back to the past, especially your high school self. I would tell myself you’re going to change your mind in about two years. I would tell my past self to look into the psychology field before graduation. I’d tell myself that just because people say you would be good at it, just because you feel drawn to it, doesn’t mean that career is cut out for you. Sure, you’re a sheepdog, and always will be, that’s your personality, but you’re not made to sit in a car, or to watch criminals walk away. You want to know why they did it. Living at home with your parents is a-okay, don’t move in with boyfriends. Family is always be there. Don’t eat the dining halls seafood; you’ll save yourself a headache. Don’t give up on math because you hate it. Keep playing hockey, for your sanity. Lean on your best friend when you feel lost, not the cat, she won’t give advice.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would say: take dual credit courses to save money and time and don't worry about your GPA dropping because you would be able to maintain it. Pre-pharmacy is the major and carrer you are going to pursue so you need to look for universities that offer programs for that. Most of all though, relax, enjoy the time you have with all your friends. Embrace the mundane boring atmosphere high school has at times and find joy in the little things because soon everything is going to change. The people you see and talk to everyday mostly become the people you used to know and only talk to through social media. Stress takes on a whole new meaning but you can handle it. Sleep as often as you can, save as much money as possible (you don't need those designer jeans), and don't panic; everything will work out. Trust yourself, rely on family, keep strong your faith, and don't forget that people around you feel the exact same way you do, so you are never alone.

My advice could be to allow myself to let go of my insecurites of meeting new people or the embarrasment I might of had to really show how smart I can be. Here at my school, I am pretty inteligent and at times I was scared of being called a nerd or a geek but that never happened. Then I realized that most of the boys I met found that attractive and in my classes being one of the front row kids I met some of my best friends till this day!
