I believe when a person makes a choice to pursue a life career it is important to have a good perception about who they are, what they want to be, and how their success can contribute to the success of others. The true success of any one individual is only attained from the contribution of support in the success of those we interact. Having an altruistic nature about one?s self will promote the support of others in the outcome of their own true success.
Therefore when making choices in life, it is important for them to consider what they really what to achieve in their overall life?s accomplishments with respect to long-term goals. Having said that it is important to establish what the long-term goal will be and then breaking it down into short-term goals which will make the process that much easier to attain.

If I had the chance to go return to the past to advise myself on the future and plans that lie ahead it would sound like this, ?college is not a easy task to accomplish it?s not like high school where you can sleep in class and hope that by catching the last five minutes you can ace the test. College also is not free in any shape way or form, all the money for high school comes from somebody?s pocket somewhere and now it?s your turn to pitch you own penny nickels and dimes for school. Take these few words of advice, and make a mental note of them right now; fill your FASFA out as soon as possible, find a job, and go do something productive; help a homeless guy, teach third graders or join big brother big sister, because all the video games in the world won?t pay your way through college.?

Take the first year somewhat slowly. Don't overload yourself, you don't want to burn out too quickly. Most importantly, don't give up. Stick with it until your finished - it's much harder trying to do it later!

I would tell myself that education is invaluable and being prepared and organized are the best ways to succeed.

I would tell myself, if I were still in high school, to get my high school diploma and go to college before having children and getting married. It would make my life much less stressful and frustrating to follow these simple words of advice and make it easier to stand on my own and take care of myself and my family, no matter the circumstances.

Going back in time to my high school senior days to give myself some advice, knowing what I know today about college life and making transition, I would tell myself to surround myself with people who could help me improve my life and help me with college material and transactions. I would appreciate these individuals helping me more and accept their guidance to prepare for college. I would consider the options of moving toward a career more seriously. Preparing for a career in my younger years are more helpful and less stressful than having a family and then try to plan on a career, yet it is never to later. All and all, I will encourage myself to obtain the education necessary and stay focus on a career.

If I could go back and talk to myself I would only really have a few thing to say. That is that I need to work on my study habits and note taking it is very important to do so. Also to never miss class, it does not matter if it is something I have heard before. To not be in class is actively trying not to better myself

Make sure you are serious when it comes time to pursue your college education as it is the stepping stone to the rest of your life!
