What should every freshman at Victor Valley College know before they start?

debi

If I could go back in time and talk to young Debi, I would tell her that now is her time! She can be anything she wants to be.... Going to college is just the begining of her life. Going to college will open her eyes to so many different things she can't get anywhere else. In college there are many opportunities to experience life to the fullest yet still growing and bettering herself to enter the career world when she graduate. It is still hard work, but it will be harder if she waits. There is so much more support and help to let her be successful. With the support, she will build friendships. These friends will help each other grow and become more wonderful than they are now..... These friends are friends that she will have for a lifetime. So don't do it for anyone else... do it for herself because she is worth it! (i have faith in her, ldebi)

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself to continue in college until i had earned my B.A. degree. I got my A.S. degree and then stopped going to college after that. Now I am starting back in college to get a better education and make myself more marketable in this economy that is so had to find a job in now. So I would tell my high school senior self to stay in college until I had earned my B.A. degree. Its a decision I wouldnt regret.

I am faced with a decision, do I go to college and continue my education or do I get a full time job? I think about college and the possibilities that I could face. If I work full time, I could be wasting precious time in acheiving my goals to start a career. Getting a college educationwould open up a whole new avenue for me. I should not postpone this opportunity. I can apply for scholarships and grants and I just might get them. As long as I stay focused in school just like I have done through high school, I shold do just fine in college. My future is waiting for me. If I don't take a step forward, I am never acheive my goals.

bianca

If i could go back and talk to myself as a highschool senior i would do the following things. I would study alot harder than i did. I would take the college and my future a little more serious... The last thing i would do is i would have study a lot harder for the SAT'S and ACTS. That is what i would do if i could go back and talk to myself.

There are plenty of things that I would like to tell my self. From stay away from frat parties to saving money on books, but I would have to say that what I would love to tell myself is to stay on track. To not loose sight of the ultimate goal, to not think youth is forever. College is a growing experience and its fun but not to get off course and finish. I was tempted by the freedom of not having to go everyday. I was given a choice and lost focus. Id advise the high school version of myself that there will be plenty of time and opportunity for everything I want to do after.

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would give plenty of advice and tips to myself. I can make clear how much more fast paced college is compared to high school, how the professors won't pester you into punctually turning in your homework and taking tests timely. I could also illustrate the relevance and seriousness of being self motivated, and encourage myself into working hard every night so that I can be accepted into my dream school. I could pass on information to myself about how amazing college life can be, but also the downsides when compared to high school. I would advice myself enjoy my senior year as much as i can, it only happens once and when you look back at in time, it'll be an momentous reminiscence to have.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, the main thing i would tell myself is to just be prepared. You can't do it alone, having a support system makes things so much easier. Your support system is most impotant.

AS A SENIOR, I KNEW I WANTED TO BECOME A NURSE ALREADY. I DID TAKE A FEW REGIONAL OCCUPATION PROGRAMS TO HELP ME GET STARTED ON MY QUEST TO BECOME A NURSE. WHAT I DIDN'T DO, WAS TO TAKE SCHOOL ALL TO SERIOUS. I TOOK THE MINIMUM CLASS REQUIREMENTS, I DID NOT TAKE CLASSES THAT WOULD PREPARE ME FOR COLLEGE CLASSES. AS A RESULT, I AM TAKING LOWER ENGLISH AND MATH CLASSES TO PREPARE ME FOR COLLEGE PRE-REQUISETS IN ENGLISH AND MATH. FOR THAT, IT IS DELAYING MY STUDIES. MY STUDY HABITS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, FOR NOW I HAVE T0 RELEARN TO STUDY.
