University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I would tell myself that i shouldn't walk away from college life like I did so many years ago. I would have made sure that I found a school like University of Phoenix that provides great support and help through out my college career making the transition better and easier so that maybe I would have stuck with it and finished college earlier in life. Instead of going back to college at 35 years old.

My senior year of high school was very stressful. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to relax a little bit and maybe take more action on scholarships. I tried to undo the actions of my sophomore year, but those bad grades and mistakes could not be undone. Senior year is already tough with all Ap classes, volunteering, clubs, college applications, and I had to help my father take care of my brother since my mom is out of the picture. I should have spent more time on myself and less on family issues. Copper Mountain College, where I attend now, shouldn’t have been on the bottom of my list. Since realistically I couldn’t afford college, I should have been more open to going to a community college. There is nothing wrong with going to community college and transferring, what I plan to do in the fall, and it doesn’t mean you can give up. Everyone is different and you should work with what you have and grow from your experiences not let them make you upset. My senior year self would be in a much better position having known that.

Since I spent the later part of my life as a drug addict, I would tell my high school self not to be a drug addict in high school. If I were to really give myself direction, I would have tried to help my high school self find a different outlet and reach out for help. I should have submersed myself in my studies more. My high school self was a great student, I just had such a miserable life at home that I ran from foster home to run away shelter and was a victim of social services. I would have given myself more coping tools and helped myself pick out better friends. It is hard when you don’t fit in and live in unfavorable areas. Since I can’t help my high school self, I spend my time instead being a role model for my daughter and giving her the tools that she needs in life to make it. I started my life over and I am very content working two jobs, going to school and being a single mom. I am getting that second chance that I blew in high school as a lonely lost child.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would be sure to tell myself that the University of Phoenix is the school for me. I would have made sure that I didn't waste my time at the school I previously attended. In addition, I would have made sure that I focused more on my school work and scholarship applications rather than my friends and socializing. If I had known what I know today then I would have been farther in my education.

Forget boys, forget partying and look towards a real future...go to college!

If I was able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would give myself a lot of advice. The main thing I would tell myself is to save my money. The most stressful thing about going to college is the cost and if I had saved money it would be a lot less stressfull. I would also tell myself not to take any time off. After I graduated high school and went to college I would not want to take any time off I would want to continue until I get my degree. Another piece of advice I would give myself is a college degree is more important than you thing. I would want to make my grades better than they were my senior year. Also, I would want to concentrate more when I start college and make sure my grades stay as high as I can make them. I know I am able to have high grades than I did in my first year of college and I regret it. I would hope I would do a lot better and be more prepared for college.

I would have told myself as a high school senior to think very hard about the person I am because it would have enabled me to realize what kind of profession I would have been best suited towards working for years ago.

I would tell my senior self to work on study habits even if I felt I didn’t need to study. High school classes came easy to me so I didn’t do much studying. When you haven’t done a lot of studying previously it’s difficult to start. I would also tell myself that learning was more of a reward than earning a grade. Taking a class purely for a grade will limit you and will stop you from fulfilling your absolute potential. Plus if you commit to learning material instead of just knowing enough to get an A, future classes will become easier because you have that much more knowledge stored up. On my own I’ve had to go back and relearn information I forgot after the tests. The final thing I would tell myself is to take more challenging classes. While calculus and physics in high school challenged me some I wish I would have taken more AP classes. AP calculus in high school made college calculus a breeze. I wish I would’ve taken AP English because I felt I knew enough in my first English class to skip it with college credit.

If I could go back and time and talk to my 18 year-old self, the conversation would probably take an entire week. Love and believe in yourself. Never give up. Nothing worthwhile happens over-night. Knowledge is power. Take some time to find yourself and your true passions. Save your money!Dear Mary,Everything will be okay. Take this time in college seriously- this is your future. You might hate college right now and not want to be there, but all that will change before you know it. Find the fun in learning- explore everything, find out what it is that you could see yourself doing. Gen Ed’s aren’t the most exciting courses, but they will be over soon and you need them. Make it exciting if you have to- you must always try your best at everything. If you make good habits now, you will always have good habits. Which reminds me, buy a calendar and schedule out your days! I firmly believe that life is all about learning in some way, shape, or form. Take every experience in life and make it an opportunity to learn, to gain something- take the good with the bad.

Now that I'm about to engaged to a new experience in college, I know that I have to make my own decisions in choosing the right way in which im going to transform to a new doctor, or maybe an architect or who knows, probably in focusing in politics. As Im entering to college, I have to see what I really want, what the future wants in me. I know while looking into students presepective views, I also need to embrace the major I want to be and never let it go. Of course, college is going to be awesome and competitive at the same time. Awesome, because of the parties I will experience and moments forever will remain in my life. Competitive because proffessors, homework, assignments, and so on will be in ambitious and I have to be responsible for every action college wants me to do. All of this things will show how mature I can be in the future. I need to be prepare, be prompt to my classes, be ready when a proffesors wants me to do a project. I will never give up and never let my beloved ones down.
