I would have said to try hardrer and to study more. I would have went and spoke to the gudience people and applied for a diffferent colleges and visted them. Thats a majot regreat because i wanted to see what the experience of going to a four year college and living in the dorm rooms would be like. Tell myself that as you were worried about hanging out and being ok with getting "c" but to realize how important every grade was. I didnt realize that even in the ninth grade they look at your grades and attendence for all four years. I would have perticapiated i n more school activities because it looks good on your college application. I would have told myself tthat going to college starts your life and career and how very important it is to start your life and to have direction and focus on the goals in life, seeing the "bigger picture" and focus on not just today and this week but my life and the future and have more faith that i can do anything i put my mind to.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, it would to be great. I would tell myself that I need to focus more on my actual school work intead of worrying about everything else, I need to start thinking about what I want to do with my life, and I would also tell myself I need to start applying for colleges. During high school I thought I could do whatever I wanted and still do good in school. I never knew what I wanted to do and I never even thought about it. I never knew college was hard to get in to and you needed a good gpa to get in. I always got in trouble and I was only worried about having fun with my friend and partying. That resulted in me barely graduating. If i could go back, I would tell myself that going to parties and having fun can definitely wait and that I need to focus on school work and getting good grades so it would be easier for me to go to school when i graduated.

As as high school senior you are faced with so many decisions to make. Going to college is a big step but also very excing for most students. The main thought on your mind is staying on campus and feeling like a grown up. You have to rememer your reason why you are attteding the school of your choice. Of course its only traditional to go to college that august after you graduate but if you are not ready, just hold out and go when you are prepared. Not saying that you will regret going but you will be upset knowing that you were held back because it just was not the right time. Education is very important and plays a major role in your life.....Just always remember it your future so choose wisely and dont be discouraged.

As a youge adult, like most people my age, once I reached senior year all I could think about is how much longer till graduation. Through my high school years I was I wounderful student, thanks to my parents who expected nothing but the best. Awear that I had gotten the awards, the good grades, and the credits i need with the exception of a few, i was ready to leave high school and start my life as a college student. I took the least amount of classes allowed and went home early everyday, which was fine to me at the time. Now that I have graduated I look back at my senior year and realize I shouldn't have taken the easy way out my senior year and got all the knowledge that I could've gained from high school. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to stay in for the long run, your learning is not over yet. then when I came to college I could've had more knowledge about not only book work but maybe even more life lessons to make my transition more smoother from high school to college.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior the first thing I would tell myself is how important your education is and to learn and become as knowledgeable as you can and never stop learning. As a single parent of two, I only wish I realized then what I know now. My oldest daughter has encouraged me to go be all I can be. She has made a big impression on my heart as she worked very hard to be what she is today and now I am following her footsteps. Education as I see it now is one of the most important things in life and that would be the very first thing that I would tell myself. I am 42 years old and learning what I have now in three weeks has been very enjoyable, and I feel as though my brain is absorbing information like it was a sponge. Attending college now and realizing how important it is only makes me want to go back to that High School girl and say go and be all that you can be because it is very important and will be rewarding.
