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

Helena

I would tell my self to study harder and not joke around so much, and to be more out going and make more friends. So it is easyer to take college courses and to meet new people.

Wow!!! This would be amazing!! I would give myself a lot of advice. Fist I would express the fact that if you are going to go to college and goof off just wait until you are ready because the grades you get will be on your transcripts forever. I was young and stupid when I started college and I thought that being with my friends and my boyfriend should be first and then school second. Boy was I wrong!! School and the grades you get are so important and you don't always realize it. College is a great experience and you should really give it your all and strive to be the best. Also, try to wait to have kids till after you have your degree because they will make studying and doing homework much more complicated!!

I would tell myself don't give up. Sometimes things will come in your way and try to overcome you, just keep trying. If I knew this as a High School student I would have had a much easier time going to school. I always wanted to go to College but once I got here I never knew how much I would enjoy it. Also, I would tell myself that I am going to work with children who have autism so be ready for a challenge. When I was in high school I thought I was going to be a kindergarten teacher and now I work with children who have autism.
