I would also advise myself to seek out more information about colleges in general. No one took the time to explain these things to me; consequenlty, I was 3 people away from the top 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, which would have made it simpler to qualify for many more scholarships.

Well back when I was seventeen I dropped out of highschool. I didn't care about anything or my grades. I think seeing myself bac then I would've pushed myself so much harder.

I went through a abusive marriage and still managed to push myself to get my education and I did it.

Just to have faith and keep that determination and motivation pushing through your vains. Because no one can do it for you but you.

It should not be an education for the sake of a degree title or monetary gain. Rather, education should be a constant learning process as well as refinement. I would tell myself that education can be used to think objectively and critically, as well as solving problems in order to find the best solution possible. However, this is only part of learning, that also, to pursue education use it to help others. Let this be a driving force for humanity rather than just for self- profit. With this in mind, do not rush into a degree simply for the purpose of income amount. Learn from different spectrums of each subject in college, and see where your gifts are. Pursue those gifts and turn it into a passion of yours in order to contribute for society.

I remember thinking about going to college as a high school senior and being completely overwhelmed. I didn't know what college I wanted to go to, didn't know what major I wanted, and had no idea how I was going to pay for it. Thinking about all of the details was so stressful for me that I almost chose not to continue my education. However, thankfully I did. If I could go back and give my high school self advice about attending college my advice would be to relax take things one step at a time. If you pick a major you don't like, it's not the end of the world. If you don't like the college you are going to, you can transfer. If you need help, ask for it. Make long-term plans but allow them to be flexible. Your plans are going to change and your educational and career paths might take you someplace you didn't initially plan on going. I would advise myself to work hard but to still allow myself time to have fun. After all, you're only young once.

I am a full time student at Snead State Community College and I work thirty hours or more so I can pay for college.

I would tell myself that life is precious and to enjoy every second of it. I would tell myself that everything isn't set in stone the way that you think it is.

Sometimes I wish I could go back and just give a good shake to the person I was and make myself wake up to the possibilities around me and to not be so afraid.

If I could go back in time to tell my high school self anything, i would definetly tell him to keep going, don't wait to start college, don't take time off to relax because life is going to shove you in very difficult directions and "coming back to it later" is going to be a statement that you will regret. Life is good now, but had you started sooner things could be a lot smoother than they are. I know you're unsure about a career path but look deep into your heart and do something that you'll love, something that when you wake up in the morning to get ready you'll feel a strong smile crawl across your face, not a groan and the thought of rolling over and going back to sleep seeming like the better option.
