University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

The advice that I would give my high school senior self is to keep trying and not give up. I would tell myself how important college is and that I need to keep pushing to get good grades. College right after high school is best because if you take time off you will get lazy and not return until years later when you should be already starting your career. It is best to focus on school than friends and other relationships because in the end you only have yourself, you are the person who is going to make the rest of your life the best. Doing well in high school and college is going to make your dreams of become independent come true.

I would tell myself that high school truly is a stepping stone for college life, and to make the most of it as possible. I would tell myself to be more involved with extra curriculars, and to study a little harder.

Better late than never, but I wish I had taken high school more seriously. I was a good student, but I know that if I had studied a little bit more, applied myself a little bit more, and had taken advantage of everything that my school offered, I would have a little more push and drive to exceed then. The transition between high school and college is definitely different, in college there is definitely more coursework, and more difficult assignments, but in the same token it is less strict, because you are not on campus for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Study harder and actually pay attention. Choose a plan of action and set a goal. Unfortunately not having a plan results in wasted time, and greatly missed opportunities. The more you lern in highschool and the more you apply yourself the betteroff you will be in college.

Eduction is th most powerful tool any student can have. Use the opportunity to the fullest.

I would tell myself to apply to my current university that I attend now, and to not join the military until after getting the Associates degree, or try to become a Officer by attending University of Phoenix and do a ROTC program from another school and work on a Bachelors Degree.

I would give myself the following advice: Betty, please pay attention and go to College! Do not be in such a rush to jump into life.

Hey bonehead! Stop goofing around and get stuff done. Life has been fairly easy up to this point... you think that you have all the time in the world... you don't.

There are advisors that will help you because they see the benefit of you continuing your education. There is money just waiting to spent on classes and books because you are worth it. It would be so much easier to go as a young adult with little responsibilities then to go at 38 with a wife and kids, and rent, and bills, and full time jobs, and... well you get the picture. Get off your rear-end and start NOW! Start somewhere. That egree you earn in college will not automatically make life easier, it just opens up more options for you.

Waiting a year or so is a lot better than being in debt a lot more than is necessary.

I would also tell my high school self to practice time management because it is a must in college. The most important thing I would tell myself is no matter what never procastinate.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

Read the books, do the assignment, turn in your homework, and network with the other students. You do not have time to waste.
