I would force myself to not settle for anything less than my absolute best and fight through the many blockades that prevents so many from completing their degree.

My senior year was great, since I was only in school half a day. I regret that know that I'm in college, why coulndt't i just get into more business program. Why didn't U just deceided to learn more about algebra, or even try to be a little more focus on school. There is only one advice I could give to myself and to all of the seniors or about to be seniors. Never be absent or think that because you passed all of your classes with A's it will be the same in college. Its not the same at all! In college you are time! If you miss one day of class, its like you missed 5 chapters 4 quizzes and 3 assignments. You really have to put an effort to what you want. Good things always happen to those who wait, and study.

I would definetly prepare myself with all the necessary documents and application processes to be college ready before even graduating from high school. That way, I would definetly transition to college right after graduating from high school without skipping semesters. I would do that differently because now i regret and i wish i would have started college right after getting out of high school, and not wasting all those semesters. I couldve already have graduated if only i wouldve started college back in 2008, and maybe even had my job already.

The adavice that i would give out to may self would be to never procastinate . Why because in that time when i was a senior I start it to procastinate my self. Back in that time life was easy for me to procastinate. And that became a usal behaivor so i saw it as a normal an eassy thing to do . Leater on when i register my classes for college I remember one of the advises of my adviser was to nerver procastinate. At first i took her advice, but i continue with the same usual behavior of procastinating. But by the time i started to regret about all the times i procastinate every single thing that i leave for another day. And asking my self what do i was thinkg, leaving things for another day when i could finish theme in that exact moment. I learn it in the hard way, becauses i was hard to me to fix that mistake but finally i did it. Even do the advice was given to me, i never used in my college life but leather on i start it visualicing that it was given at the perfect time to use it.

If I could go back and give my high school self advice I would say, stay focused, strong, and determined. There will be many obstacles in life that will come up against you. As long as you listen to those around you that truly care , and want the best for you, all will be well. Stay away from things of the world that will slow, decrease, or prolonge your progress. Keep yourself surronded by positivity, family, true friends, and a strong will and determination and all will work out accordingly. Stay away from from negativity, hate, crime, and bitter individuals that do not contribute to your success. Consintrate on your studies, always stay on one accord with your teachers, and use all school staff to assist you with tools to achieve academic success. In your free time, utilize every opportunity to give to the community, by volunteering, taking courses at your local community college, and also participating in extra curricullar activities. This shows that in your spare time you are using free time effectively. Last but not least, encourage yourself. There is no one that is going to be in your life that care about your success more than YOU!

The only advice can I give for me as me in high school is to be prepared to college. It is a great challenge. You need to be ready and prepared. Also, research many schools that you want to go and think if it is a good option and talk with professors. Just focus on what you want because that is going to be your future , and there is no going back. Just like a writer said:"Think and think then do your action."

I would and have thought many times of how nice it would have been to continue my education and degree plans. I have many nieces and nephews, and have always adviced them that the most important thing in life is EDUCATION. I tell them its easier when your just fresh out of high school to continue into college. I have asked myself the "what if's" questions , I have always dreamt of becoming a RN, but decided to get married and have children at the age of 20. I now have focused on myself to make my dream come true. I give 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} to achieve my dream, and not let anything or anyone stop me.

First off, I would tell myself right away to never procrastinate in college. It is very tough and stressfull to finish an assiginment or a quiz the day before its due. The main advice I would tell myself would be too have a dream and accomplish it because with out a dream you are nothing. So my dream as a college student is to retire my mom already, she has done her job already. Im the only child living with her so its tough for us to pay the rent. My mother is making minnimum wage and when she gets home from work she is always feeling sick or tired. That dream is really making me push harder in shcool, I want to be able to retire my mom so she can no longer suffer. So im really getting my degree for my mother.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high senior I would motivate myself to do my best and to apply to different universities, in-state and out-of-state. By trying my best i mean, do go in the exams that are required for college, to bring up my grades, not to procrastinate, because i've learned that time goes very fast, faster than what we think. Applying to different universisties, out-of-state I would of increased my possibilities of being ready for the real worl, maybe I would of made mistakes but that would of made me a more experienced human being that is aware of the dangers otut there. I've learned in this time i've been in college that college is all about opportunities, and experiences.

There are many things in our lives we would want to go back in time to do things different or to give ourselfs advice on what to do. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would give myself so much advice on how to deal with college and all the transitions that come with college. Most important advice is to not be so stressed out about going into college. As a senior I thought going into college was going to be as if I was going into high school again but now that I have experienced it, I was wrong. Going into college is not stressful well in a way it is but what I mean that it isn't stressed as in the first day of class. Another thing I would tell myself is to prepare for all type of assignments and their due date. When I was in high school we usually had our teachers tell us our assignments were do but in college it's different.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time to my High School senior year I would advise myself to enjoy my last year at High School because college is more demanding and you will have to study even more. Take some AP tests or enroll in DUAL classes to start gaining some college credits which means you can advance faster while in college and at the same time save some college costs. To be in college means to have bigger responsibilities, you have to take very seriously because it’s the most important part of your life, there you will gain the knowledge of the career selected and will have a great impact in your future work experience. I would advise myself to make a great effort to learn every day in order to get good grades and graduate with an excellent GPA which means a greater knowledge was acquired and at the same time it could be the key to obtaining scholarships. I am glad of never had any doubts about going to college. My last advice is to make the best use of your time because it will not come back.

Going back in time I would write myself this letter. Dear Jacob, Don't give up hope, you do not go into college right after highschool but it's for the best you do a lot of growing up. Don't lose heart because your dreams do come true you just have to keep reaching for them. It's just like the bible says " I have a future and a hope for you says the Lord". I can tell you that waiting was the best because all the courses you will need will be all online and they take the application fee away the year you begin. Their online courses are so much more interactive and self paced than Homeschool. You will go far and be great as you progress towards becoming a Graduate Gemologist. My advice to you is to relax, enjoy life, and keep moving forward. You will contiue to move forward and do great as long as you keep Jesus first in your heart. Just keep these things in mind and you will do just fine. Thanks, Jacob
