Ursuline College Top Questions

If I could go back in time, and talk to my self as a high school senior, I would tell myself to go to college after graduating from high school. I am 45 years old, married, working full time, and attending college. Even though I have my Associate Degree in Business, I wish I would have attended a four year college upon graduating from high school. I would tell myself that you do not know how the economy will be, or how competitive the job market will get, as you mature. Many years from now, the job mmarket may be saturated with people looking for jobs or promotions. It will be important for you to have at least a four year degree to be competitive in the job market and to be successfull You have a lifetime to work, make money, have fun with friends and go on vacations. It is not easy to go back to school later in life.

The advice that I would give myself about college life is that I would tell myself ahead of time that; you need discipline, trying to preserve relationships must not take precedence over preserving you. If someone wants to leave your life let them, they could be doing you a favor. The road is going to be rough. It will not always be brains that get you through the journey you are about to take. A certain amount of intelligence will be emotional intelligence. You may lose people, gain new friends, or learn something new about yourself through interaction with others. During the tough times do not isolate yourself completely away from the world after you realize that your old friends will not understand your determination to always strive to be better than the minute before. Those who have true love for you will be there for the long haul. Remember to take care of yourself and treat yourself to a spa, new outfit, or new hairdo once in a while. It is your reward. You will have make sacrifices but do not let those sacrifices damage your self-esteem. It is ok to LIVE, DREAM, and HAVE WHAT YOU WANT.

The first thing I would say to myself is be confident, study hard and enjoy the time you have in school because these are the best days of your life.

If I could go back to high school as a senior I would tell my self that I need to get better grades, make more friends, and become more comfortable with myself. When I was a senior I was going through some of the hardest times of my life; I was battling severe depression and extreme social anxiety disorder. Therefore, making and keeping friends was difficult for me to do. I also had trouble keeping my grades up, which I now regret because the way to get more money from the school is to have good grades. Unfortunately, nothing of this mattered to me at the time because my mental illness was in complete control over me. Now, I have been out of high school for two years. I have recently found treatment for my problems and I have done a complete 360 in school, as I am now achieving a 3.9 GPA! So, to go back to answering the essay question, I would tell myself that I need to get help from a professional so that I can turn my life around and try harder in school. Also, so I can make friends and just be happy!

I would not have picked this school had I known what I know now. The learning style is not for me, and I had a very limited choice as to what majors I could pick from, which was hard since I ended up switching majors. It is hard to transfer out of Ursuline because their classes aren't compatible with other schools. The dorms aren't the best, and I wouldn't have lived on campus had I known what they were like. I would have picked a different school that was similar to Ursuline in terms of size, but other than that, I wouldn't have gone to Ursuline and I wouldn't really recommend it to people who have the same learning style as I do.

You started out great completing an associates degree. I know being a single parent is tough but continue to take at least 1 or 2 classes per semester to improve your job opportunites. Great job doing community, foster parenting and volunteer work all of these years, the skills, knowledged and networking enhanced your people skills and show a good leader,self motivation, diversity and a teamplayer. Don't give up your dream. Stay focus on your goal. Reflecting on the years we bore life cycles that repeats its self. From each episode we learn from and if needed begin again. Evolving as a product of our enviroment. Born independence, more knowledge to aquire, experience the mistakes and happy times. Unable to thrive without the influences of man , we continue to expand. As a child of God we will always have life to bore. Frequencies in repetition of lifes cycles can occur at anytime. Born again and again giving birth to a more developed you and a contribution to society. Success is a life learning experience that gives its rewards in your smile and success. I LOVE YOU, I am PROUD of you and god will always bless and keep you.

Well, when I was a high school senior, I was already taking college classes at my community college. The problem I had is that I had no idea which direction I wanted to go. I was so confused as to what field I wanted to get into. I was taking all of my general requirments at the time, and I didn't get into any groups or clubs. The advice I would give myself now would be to take a bunch of different classes to see which area I would have liked to get into. After taking a year off of school to go to a grooming school in Michigan, I have decided that grooming wasn't for me (the physical part of the job and not making enough money). I really thought hard about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and getting into the field of digital media and graphic arts really excites me. Now, I have found what I like, and I am excited to see what the future holds in the field of graphic design.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself not to put off going to college. That was the worst decision of my life. I ended up getting married at 19 and that was a big mistake. I was divorced by 23 with a beautiful daugher. I started going back to school at the age of 31, so I was not able to experience the wonderful world of campus life. If I could go back in time, I would definately let myself know that there is a huge world out there and that I need to put my future in my hands and go directly to college. Jobs are really limited when you do not posess a college degree. You are to smart to let life pass you by! Make the most of your potential!

Pick a college where there are a lot less prereqs. Most of all I think I would go through the post secondary programs and technical programs my school has to offer that way I can save a lot on tuition.
