Good Afternoon Seniors, First I would like to congratulate you on your commitment to your education and graduating. What I am going to tell you next will be very important so pay close attention. Today we have to make the most important decision of our lives. We have to identify who we are right now, who we want to be in the future and how are we going to get there. Furthering our education may not seem important right now but in 20 years it will be critical in our success. The world will change at the speed of light and what we know today will only take us so far. It will be important for us to evolve with the world and quitting now will not enable us to do so. We must set goals today, after turning our tassels. Tomorrow we must start to outline the plan that will get us there. The following day we must implement the plan and the next start date we must attend the first day of reaching our goals. Set high goals, no dream is too big, and noting can hold us back, except ourselves. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ANF YOUR DREAMS!

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself about the importance of having a college degree to be successful in life and to get a good paying job. I would also tell myself to study hard and do well in school because hard work and determination are two disciplines that you need in life to become successful at anything you do. And you can be anything you like by working hard and focusing on what you want to accomplish. Last, I would tell myself that it is much easier to finish school while you are young and do not have the responsibilities of having a family and bills that make school much more challenging to complete.

In the understanding that I currently have about transition into further education, the first thing I would tell my high school self is "Hello Edith!, do not be afraid of what I am here to tell you. I have been given one chance to help you change our destiny. Your struggles through high school have been many, and you will continue to have ups and downs, but going to college now will change the successes we will share with our children. The choice to better our future is in your hands. There is great respect and positive people in our future. If you take this road, your journey will provide a strength that will set the foundations of a solid life. This life will be what we as a child had visioned. Edith, take a deep breath and jump! I know you can do this; after all, I am you. I will be watching over you."

Apply, Apply, Apply for as many scholarships as you can get your hands on. Do not leave it up to your high school counselor to find scholarships for you! Make the extra effort and search yourself. There are thousands of available scholarships out there. As a student, paying back loans is no fun...especially when interest starts accruing. The more scholarships you apply for earlier on in high school the better chances you have of recieving ample amounts of money that will save you stress over worrying about paying back and concentrating on your studies.

My life has been a journey and being able to inform high school senior about the importance of educating themselves is the best advise I could give been a college student in my adult age. Life events plays a major factor in life and the opportunities that will await you in your future. Often time as ateenager we get I don't have to do it syndrome, meaning we don't want to do it our parents way because they are to old and don't know what they are talking about. However, I would recommend that as a senior in high school headed to college that you choose wisely understanding that your parents only want what's best for you. Being able to have a parent to drive you to do better in life will only help you to achieve your dream in goals for a better future.

Knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, I would advise myself to take everything more seriously. In high school studying is a must but the reading and studying that is required in college is very different. I would tell myself to make sure that I pick a major that will make me happy in the long run and that money is not always the only reason to do something.

As young adolescents get in to high school they will have already formed some kind of habits when it comes to school work. My habits were not bad but not great. I would have told my high school senior self to pay more attention to what is being taught in class. I would have liked to form better studding habits, and reading skills as well as note taking skills. The transition was not bad because the University of Phoenix online campus offered so many different resources to help if needed. There was always someone you could call if you had a question or needed tech support.

If I could go back and talk to my high school senior self I would probally tell myself that there is no rush. Take your time to figure out what you want to do with your future, try different things even if it means taking some time off before you start school. If you choose to go to school right away try a community college where you can take different classes and see what you like. If you are not getting the answers you want from your guidence councilor find someone that will answer your questions. College is a big step and you are responsible for the choices that you make not anyone else so take your time.
