University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

The greatest advice I could give to myself as a high schooler would be to really consider the financial reprecussions of the different Universities I applied to. It is very important to consider all aspects of your future before deciding where you will go to college, as well as what you want to major in. Most high schoolers are only looking ahead to their future and their dream jobs, but there are so many other factors that come into play once you actually begin attending college. Now that I have lived each and every one of my days, I am proud of where I have ended up with online school because it gives me the convenience of teaching children every day, while earning my degree to be an educator in the school systems.

If I could tell my high school self anything it would be to not give up. My first go round at college I quit it because I felt too overwhelmed. That put me 10 years behind in getting my life to where I want it to be. To my high school self: Keep going, do the papers, do the maths and go to class. It seems hard and it seems it is in the way of making money but it is not, it will only help you and your children in the long run.

If i could go back in time when i was a high school student i will definitely choose the desicion to make better grades, and to take the advantage of filling out Scholarships earlier. I chose these two because them two could really help me if i wanted to go to a good college and live on campus .

I would go back and ask myself "Ebony are you ready to make this commitment of furthering your education or is your desicion based upon what your family wants for your life" I honestly feel that when I graduated from High School I was not ready to attend a four year university I had no clear direction as to what I wanted to do. I was told by my parents that finishing high school and going to college was a must and there was no other options available. Now that I am older and have a better understanding of life I can say that everyone's path is not the same, and the choice to further your education must be a choice an individual makes for themselves. Education is an investment in your future, so careful planning and goals must be put into place.

The best advice that I would give to myself as a high school senior is to start now.dont get hung up on the fear of starting a new phase.When I graduated high school I was comfortable with my life . I actually said,what more do I need in life. My life as I knew was perfect. I had a job paying $10.00 an hour, I was the co manager of a store, I had a handle on my monthly bills(at the time was a carpayment,insurance and a pager bill.I had a place to stay rent free( at my momas house) and no dependants.I had all that i need.Why continue my eduaction?ILife was perfect! Honestly I feared change.I didn't feel ready to make the next step.Not because I wasn't smart enough but beacuse I was fearful of taking the next step and start something new.Now that I am in school I see that there was nothing to fear at all. My eduaction is worth investing into. It will be the stepping stone for my future. I just need to believe all will turn out well .

Going back in time as a high school senior, I would remind myself to work hard to ensure that I get into a 4 year college. As a freshman in college you want to experience living on campus and getting involved with different activities that will allow you to get to know others on campus. It is also imporant to have a clear idea of what you would like to major in when you are trying to find that 4 year college. You want to know that the college you go to has the proper resources to help you further your education. I would also tell myself to make sure whatever you choose to do, it is something you love to do so it never feels like work.

Being that I was a high school dropout I would go back and sort out my problems that I had at home within my family. I would stick to the plan of graduating from highschool and seeking the advice of school counselors are options to pursue a college degree. I would advise myself to do my research about what the adult world is really like. Schooling does not prepare us for the gauntlet that life presents us once we wrap up our academic lives and entering into an independent working world that does not revolve around a homelife with parents, studying and doing homework at night, and attending a Friday night football game. I would have prepared myself for a major by seeking out the things I enjoy and am passionate about and find the best choices and colleges possible to ensure that my future will be bright and full of success.

Don't put off your college education. Without a college degree you will not be able to earn your full potential in the job market. Having a degree and not having a degree is an important part of your resume and employers specifically look for those degree. There are plenty of grants, scholarships and finalial aid for anyone to attend college. Start researching colleges and find the right fit for your financial situation, your dreams, and your goals. College is a great way to meet new people and apply your high school knowledge. Call an enrollment counselor right away, they offer plenty of information about what the right fit is for your education. The enrollment couselor will guide you through every process necessary to become enrolled. So what are you waiting for? Get on the phone and make some calls. College is fun and exciting and a great start to your financial stability later in life.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that education is so much more than I could imagine. That it is necessary to pursue a college degree not only to be successful, but to truly experience and understand how much life has to offer. I would insist that I should go as far as I could in achieving an education and not to wait. Though I may think education is not all that important, that I am wrong. Education takes your mind to new levels, to new places , builds understanding and confidence. That the an education will continue to give back throughout your entire life.

Looking back upon my high school self and considering advice to give to him, I would have to press him to do two very important things. Those two ideas I would give to him would be to network with other people and master the art of prioritization. After high school these two things were the weaknesses of my character and while I managed well, I still wonder what increased potential having done them would grant me. As important as education is in this world, the significance of contacts, friends, and associates should not be over looked. A great social personality and great academic skill go hand in hand to create a well desired employee. The brightest mind in the world could not accomplish anything if the mass of society disliked or was ill feeling toward him. At the same time prioritization is the key to balance. It is a skill that is commonly taken for granted and underappreciated. Prioritization is the foundation of efficiency. To be able to create goals and tasks in order of importance, accomplish them, and not neglect ones personal life is indeed a balancing acing act. To my young self I would stress these two things.
