Trident Technical College Top Questions

If I were to go back in time and converse with a younger version of myself as a high school senior, I would remind myself to make sure that I continually prioritize my responsibilities. I know my upmost responsibility is to put my duties to my religion first. Therefore, as a high school senior, I would like to tell myself that while I have secular responsibilities, I must take care of the most important responsibility in order to excel in my educational pursuits. Also, I would tell myself to not try to overload myself with a full-time education and a job. As I am in college now, I know that it can be overwhelming to have so many responsibilities and try to exceed the expectations of your professor regarding your performance in the class. Overall, I would continually remind myself to not waste the blessing of being able to purse an education and to prioritize my secular sacred responsibilities.

The jump between college is high school is really big. High school does not prepare for college at all. The only way to be prepared it to take AP courses in school, if you do not then going to a techincal college or a 2 year college would be best. You don't want to leave high school going to a top college and then end up failing out of the school your freshman year and losing your scholorship. It's not worth losing money given to you for being a great student in school with your grades and have it all messed up because you thought your high school prepared you for college. High school is basically a waste of 4 years that are suppose to be the best 4 years. If the college of your choice has a program that helps high school juniors or seniors transition into college, do what ever you need to so that you are able to go to the program. You could probably take classes towards your major or find out that you need some developmental courses so you need to take courses at a 2 year college and then transfer back.

If i could speak to my HS self, I would tell her three key words: take your time. You have the rest of your life to rush to fit into a cateogory. Focus on finding out the young person whom you are becoming and falling in love with her. Nothing in the world could ever make you happier than loving the person staring back at you in the mirror. Be young. Make mistakes. Change paths. Pursue options. Dance, don't just sit and watch everyone else have fun. Just be in the moment. You will never get these moments again and life will happen to you one day. Happen to life today. You will have the rest of your life to be accountable for the mistakes that you make. So make them wisely now. Regaret is something that you so not won't to truly understand the deifnition of.

I am now 24 years old, yes some may say' " oh, you've still got time", maybe they're right, I know they are right but if I could go back to my senior self at 17 years old, I know I could change my whole life. I would have told her " Brandy, your 17 years old; you have the whole world in front of you. You will do great things but don't choose to waste it on a boy who steals your heart or those drugs you decided to take, when you think life isn't worth living. You will find that awesome guy, and the drugs will mess up a lot more things than lossing a baby. Make these years count. Don't hold back because of fear." I have done great things and I will contiune, I know I have it in me.

You are entering a profound change in your life. To preserve some lessons, I will not reveal your greatest hardship yet to come. However, what I will say is during that experience, you must continue following your true passion, wolf biology, or you will find yourself returning to it later with the regret of time spent on other classes. Meet with a university advisor to plan each semester from community college on up. Do this frequently to update as you progress. If the advisor immediately suggests upper-level courses, then you must make the discernment of what you are really ready for. Act on your intuition, trust your abilities, and hold yourself accountable for the “A” grade you want. You will be a full-time student with jobs and other demands on your time. It will be very challenging, but applying for scholarships, finding study partners, and seeking a mentor will help. Be persistent with the scholarship applications, and study partners should be other students that hold themselves to a high standard. Finally and ultimately, you have to stop procrastinating from fear of failure. Address this fear, and you will make way for greater success.

If I could go back in time to 1996 where I was a senior at Saint Stephen High, I would work harder to complete and understand the Spanish language, as this will be helpful when I travel abroad to Spanish countries during my travel nurse career. Knowing what I know now, I would also take advantage of accounting and basic finance classes so that I could be more stable in my future self with money and making ends meet easily. I would be settled on the fact that I should avoid credit cards and the evil weight of debt that comes with it until I knew how to balance and show experienced behavior with money. I would have tried to socialize more and not be the interverted shell of a person that I was. So that finding a job and mixing with coworkers wouldn't be such a struggle in my professional life.

Take all the information that you can in, don't slack off and do good grades because the scholarships you can get will help you so much in the future. Try to better yourself and make things easy on yourself by getting credits in high school that will transfer towards college to cut down costs. And most importantly keep your head up, things will get better after you are finished with all your schooling. Remember that when your done with college you will be having a great life.

I would have told my self to buckle down. I spent a lot of time slacking off. Alot of the things that i was expect to know coming from high school i didnt because alot of time i failed to pay attention. Also if i had put forth more effort i would been able to get scholarships and wouldnt have to struggle so hard to fund my college education.

As a senior in high school, I more than qualified to be admitted to my desired four year institution however, I sought to minimize my financial input towards getting my bachelors degree by attending a two year technical college. Looking back, I see that was a mistake: not only did it minimize what can only be described as the ?college experience? but I also allowed myself to be distracted by the mundane, be it, job, girlfriend, or otherwise. I cheated myself out of what could have been the best two years of my life. I believe my exact words would be, if not more graphic in nature, ?If you do not leave for college right after high school, regret will be your constant companion, filling your mind with deluded thoughts of ?what if??, disallowing you to focus on something so simple as the life before you. So much so that now you?ve not only missed out on an epic journey but stunted the life of both yours and those around you due to a constant state of regretful reverie!? I do believe I know myself best, fear and disappointment have always been good motivators.

If I could go back in time to tell myself in my senior year what I know now, I would say cherish the friends you have. Although I made many friends after high school, it broke my heart to lose touch with the students that I practically grew up with. Staying in contact is key after high school. I would also tell myself not to stress and to enjoy more activities. I was the braniac in high school who made the top grades, but I also missed out on a lot of experiences that I will never get back. I didn't go on my senior trip, or go to the beach for the week after graduation like all my friends wanted me to. Grades are important, but so are the memories. The last thing I would tell myself is that life is more than the A. It's also about the things that you can't learn in a classroom. I would have also told myself about my new favorite phrase, "learn what you love, and love what you learn."

I would tell myself to finish school as soon as possible. I would stress the fact that a college education is necessary to have a successful career. I would emphasize that life will always get in the way of most plans made, but that persistence and perseverance pay off.

To not give up, that I can do it. If only i set my mind up for it I can do it and to not to take a long time to go to college.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior I would do everything different. First I would eliminate the stubbornness, and listen to my parents. I would stop concentrating on what party who was going to, and the latest drama. I would also get involved in more community service, and clubs. I did have a strong GPA, I participated in cheerleading, Journalism, and I was a part of a community service club. Even though I was a member of these school events I failed to continue any of these in college. Also I participated for a limited amount of time. If I could change that, I would stick with cheerleading and the other clubs instead of giving up. Another thing I would change is my ignorance of scholarships and money growing on trees. As a senior, I waited until the last minute to complete college applications, and I also ignored scholarship applications. When attending high school I had the mind set that everything would be completed for me, or just magically appear. Unfortunately I quickly learned that college was a whole different ballgame. My advice is to take school seriously, get use to deadlines, and stay determined.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a highschool senior, the very first thing that I would tell myself is, "Fill out college applications and apply for scholarships the first couple of months of school!" Filling out applications on time was my biggest downfall for ending up in the situation I am in now and now being able to go straight into a 4-year university of my desire. Now that I know what its like as a college student, I would tell my senior self to not be overwelmed about the idea. The classes and workload is not all that difficult. The schedule is very flexible and convenient. In my opinion, college is easier than highschool.

I would tell my high school self, not to worry so much about choosing the "right major" at the time and focus more on school than partying. I have taken multiple classes, wasting money on an unguided education and I now feel that I have found my way. :)

If I could go back a talk to myself I would tell me to take my classes alot more serious instead of waiting until the end of the year before graduation to want to work. I also would have told me to do a lot more to prepare myself to be able to pay for college and worked to recieve more scholarships. I would have done a lot more to get back in football and possibly receive a football scholarship and be where I want to be . But most importantly I would have tell myself to reconize the resources you have in front of you and use them man dont waste time trying to handle it yourself because you dont have the proper connections at this time so just use what you got to get what you what.
