University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

Stay focused on the end result and know what that end result should be before starting.

Just keep trying my best to succeed!

Just do it!

College is the most important & valuable thing I could ever do in my life - it isn't just about classes & memorization, it's about figuring out who I am, what I want to do with my life & how to make it happen. The foundation of education, especially right after high school is extremely important. Going straight to university after high school allows you to stay in the mindset of education. Going later only makes it harder to maintain the process of school. College is a 4-5 year networking event. I know many who have their jobs or life mates through someone they know via college. College now has been difficult because I can't have the sports loyalties & fraternity/sorority relationships that bond many college students. School now is what I did not want it to be, memorizing information & writing papers. College should be fun, enlightening & rewarding in every way and is the foundation for success on every level in the future. Delaying it delays growth, development & success.

I would tell myself to just keep going and persue my deams

I would tell myself that college is the doorway to so many opportunities, and that earning a college degree is something that no one can take away. I would tell myself that college takes dedication and determination to be successful. I would tell myself that the struggles and obstacles in college can be overcame, and that the struggles and obstacles make me a stronger person and prepare me for the real world. I would tell myself that earning a college degree is not a dream but a reality that is coming true. I would tell myself to remember that a college degree can be earned with passion and the will to become a better person. I would tell myself that a college degree is best way to ensure a positive, happy, secure life as an adult for family, and myself and to enjoy every second of college because time in college goes by so fast. I would look myself straight in the eye and say ?You can and will earn a college degree?.

Since my teenage years, I always dreamed to become an educator and help people who cannot afford an education. Unfortunately, my life was full of surprises that kept pulling me away from fulfilling my dream. After many years of hard work and after my five children have grown, I took on this journey, back to school, and finish what I started. Knowing what I know now, which is attending school online I would have started after graduating from high school. Anyone has a chance for an education today, which was not the same ?yesterday.? Home bound mothers or people with any type of disabilities could get an education with online schools. In making my transition to college I would probably avoid those who discourage me from pursuing my dream. With my mother close to dying and my father who passed away, I was the only one to look after my two siblings, so the online school would have been a good choice to become an educator. As I always say, never is too late to pursue a dream.

"The best route for you is to attend a junior college first to develop better self-discipline. Once those skills are honed, and you've earned your associate's degree, you can transfer to a 4-year university. This is the best route because 'baby steps' are best for you due to your lack of discipline."

Always do you best do not just try to get the grade to get by. Strive for success do your best to make straight A's, becuase if you do not it will be very hard to get in to college.

I would have told myself that there are no second chances and to take everything seriously the first time.
