If i were to go back to my highschool self, i would make sure i stressed the importance of getting good grades and working hard. I would tell myself to worry less about the boys and parties and worry more about being in good academic standing. Also, i would tell myself to take classes even though it is not mandatory. It is harder being in college without having all the highschool classes done like chemistry, so i have to take them now that im in college. It is a lot harder to get homework done with two toddlers running around, so i would tell myself to go to college straight out of highschool instead of waiting four years to go back.

If I could go back in time as a senior, I would better inform myself of the college process. I would began researching and preparing for college my freshman year. My parents would be more informed about loans and grants to assist in the expenses of college life. I would go to the guidance counselor and ask about aid and asistance that the school offered. My GPA and class selection would be more centered on the focal point of the criteria i would need for the college of my choice. My SAT scores would be taken repeatively until I was satisfied with the outcome. I would take weekend trips to vist colleges. I would inform my friends of the college process so that I would be more motivated to keep focus and excited about the anticipation the college experience. If I could go back in time, I would be a better researcher, motivator, and go-getter toward excelling in the college process.

Education is the key to a lot of doors and the future start here. If only I could go back to my senior year I would have gone a different route. Parents have a lot to do what we do when we are in high school. One of the problem was that I did not had either of them. I was raised by my uncles, my father die when I was five years old. I will always missed him and for him and me I want to finish what I have started. Take the time to apply for scholarships is a great way, the more funds we get for school the less time we need to work for all the supplies for school. Having a helping hand will always be welcome to everyone especially when you are raising a family and going back to college. Take you time and think before you make an important decision. A family is a great acomlishment to have , but it takes corage and work to make it worked. Remmember that an educated desicion will always the best desicion.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, the advice I would give myself was to captured the knowledges that the teachers have been taught and to practicited it by sharing, refer to the ideas with peers, also feel free to ask the questions to teacher, don't feel be shy and the operation of the school is also actively involved to be more understanding and do not see lack of confidence in front of the crowd. Because in college there are the people have different ages of their knowledge will also be more than me, in this case do not be frustrated or timid. And also don't for get to make a good friends . However, the English is important either for me in high school or college, how I studied the English language then successful I will get in my life. In summary, there are many advices for all students, but especially for me there are 2 things I need most interested in English and be confident in all cases, so I alway have to know and encourage self motivated to myself.

I would tell myself to not take anything in my social life too seriously. High School can either be a cruel, cruel world for some just because of how adolescents are during that period; but it can also be the best time of your life, if you allow it to be. I would tell myself to work hard and do the best I can in any and every situation and to always be there for my friends no matter what. Friends can come and go but some of then one's you make in high school will be forever by your side if you let them. I would also tell the younger me to experience anything from football games, and sport's events to rallies and even a study group with strangers. I would most importantly tell myself to keep an open mind and to be proactive when opportunities present themselves.

I would definately tell myself not to give up. The most important thing is staying true to yourself and keeping focused on what is important. I would tell myself not to let anything or anyone stand in the way of reaching my goal. I would tell myself that if I can think it in my head, then it is possible.I would tell myself that I have the ability to change the world, and thats what I would set my mind to. The only one responsible for the outcome of my life, is me. It is my decision and mine alone. If someone wants to stand by me, then let them. If they do not, then bid them farwell.

When I was a high school senior, I did not have encouragement from my family to go to college. We lived very poor and it was known that my family could not send me to school. Looking back now I would have told myself that anything is possible and all I really needed to do was to believe in myself and I could succeed. I would have investigated all my options for financial help and put my education first on my list. I would have told myself that in the future you will need to have a degree to be hired in most company’s and the chance of advancement without a degree is few and far between. Knowing what I know now I would tell myself everyday to learn as much as I can because learning seems harder when you are older and have a family and a full time job.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about college life and making the transition, I would have a lot to say. For starters I would tell myself to choose a community college for the first two years and obtain an Associates degree. Even though it would kill me to have to stay around my mother for another two years it would have been worth it. I would also tell myself to apply for as many scholarships as possible to help pay for school. I would bring up the fact that college is much harder to succed in if you don't stay focused. I would inform me that staying away from boys and drama would be the best thing for me. And if something should happen where I could not return to school for financial reasons, that I should work hard to make sure I could continue, and don't throw away everything for a boy. My final words of inspiration would be to not worry about anything, stay focused, and remember my goal.

Don't delay! There will always be challenges along the way but the sooner you begin the better.
