I would ltell myself how important a college degree is to succeed in life. I would sit down and really tell myself that life is a struggle and without a degree no one will ever take me curiously in a workplace and if I wanted to provide for my family or myself I need a good education. Not only do you have to provide for yourself you also have to provide a life for your family and things have changed through the years making a degree more of an advantage for this success. Nothing is given to us in life for free and in order to prove ourselves we need to provide future employer’s the proof you are what they are looking for in an employee.

Colleges differ from high schools and earlier learning environments in many ways, but the most crucial difference is in the required student maturity needed for success. Transitioning from high school to college depends upon commitment and independence; class workloads can be intense, and academic progress relies on continued time management and independent motivation. Understanding this difference in required student maturity for obtaining academic success is the most beneficial advice I can think of for myself.

The advice I would have given myself is to try harder. I would tell myself that I need to get good grades all the time. Also that I need to pay more attention to the subjects and get all my homework done all of the time. If I would have tried harder I could have tried for an Acedemic Scholorship. College is so much easier than High School, as long as you want o learn.

If I could go back in time and and talk to myself I would "go to college now, search your soul and decide where you want to be in twenty years and do whatever it takes to make that happen. This is your life and you need to make the best you can of it. Don't wait until it might be too late. You have a great brain, use it to your advantage"!

When I look back at my time in High School I had no idea what college was about. I did not have anyone to encourage me on a future or explain to me how to even pay for schooling. If I could go back in time and give myself some advice my conversation would go as followed: Kelly, you’re wondering what you want to be in life. You’re debating on if you would like to be in advertising or education. In time you will come to realize that neither is for you. You have been through a lot in life and have a lot of help from counselors. They have made a difference and you need to pay it forward. So really think about who you are and what feels right to you. Do not waste time or money trying to figure it out. Getting your education is expensive and the cost needs to come out of your pocket. Talk to the guidance counselor about the expense to see in the long run what you would be paying. Have them explain student loans thoroughly to you. You have to pay it back and the interest payments rack up.

I would talk to counselors in order to get better prepared financially for college by going over what financial aids were available to me

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would encourage myself to experience college for a year or two. i was so done with school at 18 that college seemed like a nightmare. Now that I am a grown adult going to college online, in the middle of the night while my family sleeps after a full day of work, I realize that I missed a great educational opportunity as well as the joy of community that college offeres. I would have considered a year off to get some relief, then continued on to college to have secured a better and easier position in life, which I am now making up for. I don't regret the years that I traveled, but I would have incorporated that in differently.
