If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school I would tell myself two things. The first thing is that I should've been more involved throughout high school. I was only involved in two organizations and it had scattered events all throughout the year. It was never a consistent every week thing and I probably would've been more social. The second thing is that I should've challenged myself more with classes. I took the easy way out and took classes I knew were a joke so my GPA would look good and I regret it.

Ursuline has provided me with a lot during my college experience. First and foremost it has given me the confidence to believe in myself and my abilities as a future professional.

Without my experience at Ursuline I would not have believed in myself enough to continue on into the nursing program. Nursing and the health field has always been a passion of mine, but I never thought I had what it took to prosper through the courses and clinical. Now with each passing course I obtain more confidence and pride in my abilities. I have been successful and done extremely well in all course in both business and nursing thus far.

I have been able to work toward my life long goal of becoming a fashion designer. It is a goal I had as a high school senior. At the time I pursued a different path, but never gave up on my dream of becoming a designer.

Life after high school without a college degree is just as you had imagined it; unbearable. The foolish notion that a break after high school will allow you to develop the strength you need to heal and persevere through the enormous stresses this new academia will cause is unfounded. Attempting to pay rent, among other bills, with retail wages is far more stressful than worrying about that awful chemistry exam. You have always ensured that you were a studiously scholarly individual. While your body may enjoy the rest, your mind will feel terrorized in its constant state of ennui. I understand your underlying reason for choosing not to attend college is wholly rooted in social anxiety. An environment in which you are constantly surrounded by others is an unwelcoming and overwhelming scenario for a cutter. You cannot allow that self-abusive bane to prevent you from following through with your desires for an education. Open your eyes beyond the small selection of universities that are alleged to be ?elite?. Do not limit your options based on your GPA. You achieved the grades you did in order to have all options open to you. Take advantage of them.
