University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

Don't procrastinate. Now is the time to look at your future. You will have time to have fun with friends. You will have time to have a good time. Right now you should be looking at universities. Right now you should be filling out applications for numerous schools that you dream of. You can do it. Putting things off will only lead to last minute decisions and choices that will slowly reflect opportunities that you never wanted. Be courageous and give it a try.

I would most certainly tell myself to suck it up and go to a four year school right out of high school and finish while I could still live with my dad, and then get a good job right out the gate, instead of messing around for a couple of years and living hand to mouth for far too long.

I will tell my self not to wait for 10 years to go back to school, that it was possible to do it sooner.

Be ready to work, this is not free education so get your money's worth. Its not a joke

The first advice I would tell myself in high school would be to not wait to go to college! Fifteen years and three childern later trying to get a degree is not easy. It well worth it, but do it while you are young. The next advice I would give myself is to try and get every scholarship and grants you can. College is very expensive and you do not want a large student dedit when you leave school and began your career.

If i could go back to senior year and look at myself in the face, I would tell myself to shape up. I would tell myself that its time for the real world and to get my act together. Although the grades were great, the money was not there to attend school. I would tell myself to look under every rock to find the money that I would need. As that kid, I thought time wouldnt go by so face, so telling myself to not waste time and use every second of that day to do something productive.

I would tell myself to better prepare myslef and take education more seriously. I would tell myself to put effort in school instead of partying and messing around. I could be so much furter by now if I had my act together at that time.

If I had the opportunity to go back and give my high school self advice it would be this; Stop worrying so much about what does not affect you and focus on your own future. During my time in high schoold I did not spend much time on myself, I was too involved with working and helping to support my mother and sisters which in turn made me lose focus of myself and what I needed to do for my future. I slacked in certain areas and didn't give college much thought. Now that I am older and have spent countless hours at jobs I would rather not be at, I have developed the motivation and confidence I need to return to school. I want to be able to have a career I love rather than a job I hate. So, to my high school self, Please focus more on your future and getting the information and skills you need to further your education and become the woman you deserve to be.

If you have a dream of going to college do not give up. Just do it!
