Knowing what i know about college life and making the transition, my adivice to myself would be that first, it is very important to make time to study so meeting each class requiement will be a success. Second reashearch about the field of interest by going to the college and asking questions until everything is clear. Also be decisive and confident about choices made,because it will help focus on college goals no matter what comes along. Finally stick to grade and if help is needed ask your professor because college life and transition is tought to personaly handle but when spoken about to professor or advisor, it make life more easier. Go to college, have fun studying, explore and graduate within time.

Oh, I have thought of this long and hard for many years. I would tell my self that a college education is the most valueable thing that I will ever aquire for my future. I would advise myself on how to apply to college, and how to apply for financial aid. I would explain to myself how the next four years may feel like a long time, but in reality, four years is a very short time. And while I may miss out on some activities while I am studing I will gain so much more from getting that degree. I would advise myself that I am worth the investment that it takes in time and finances to college. I would also advise myself on how good I will feel about myself after finishing college and while attending college.

I would tell myself to concentrate on my future goals of obtaining a BA in Criminal Justice. I would tell myself how proud it would make my parents if I obtained a degree. I would explain how a well paying job is needed in the future and how a degree would make that possible. I would also tell myself that the world is a better place to live in and that mistakes can be made, but not to dwell on them. I would discuss how my career path would be affected without a degree and that there will be obstacles in the way, but can be bypassed if a four year degree is obtained early in my younger selfs life. I would talk about being financially responsible as a young adult and that their is a difference between needs and wants.

Be patient...I know it's easier said than done. Technology is booming right now, consider accelerated courses and online courses - they will save you a lot of time. They cost more, but are more effective for your learning style.

I would have stayed more focused on completing college while I was still young and had the time to do it before having a family. It cost less than it does now and I was attending a campus near my home state. I would of told myself to apply yourself all throughout school because what you are doing now will affect your life as you become older. Nothing happens overnight prepare yourself to be patient, but continue to set goals and never give up on your dreams. It will not be easy but you can do it with determination and mental support from your friends and family. When someone tells you that you can not do it you work harder than ever to prove to him and more importantly yourself that you can do it. Because what you do is watchec by your childeren and you have to set a good example for them as they learn for you and will follow in your footsteps in the early stages of their lives.

I would tell myself to stay focused and finiah my degree in the shortest time possible. The longer a person is in college the more expensive it gets.

Cheryl

I would say to stay on the path that you are on. College right out of high school is not for everyone and it may not be right for you right now. Don't worry about checking out different types of learning programs and technical schools, when the time is right you will do the right thing for yourself. One not of advice is to pay attention to the employers you have and learn everything you can.

Tamek

My advice to myself would be to focus, be determine, have confident, and stay positive when things feel like a challenge is to face the fears I might have by tackling what might seem difficult to do by having determination to accomplish what I set out to achieve. For me to strive for perfection is to never give up or to be discourage by things that can be improve with practice and when feeling overwhelm by my assignments I can redirect myself by finding common ground where I lack at or in and to push forward. When I feel lost I can turn to help or get extra work to help me become comfortable in what it is that is ask of me to do. I also would tell myself never give up and to give it my all as long as I know I try and no matter what still continue to stay positive through it all. Finally my advice would be no matter what still push myself to making through my courses while being open and consider when learning new skills and knowledge that will benefit me in the furture to come.
