Wisconsin Lutheran College Top Questions

Be carefull with the friends you chose dont just hang out with people because you want to belong. Take buisness classes.

I would tell myself to immediately attend college and if it seemed impossible to do so then talk to a guidance counselor. If things were still unclear then talk to friends and even their parents about what to do in order to attend right out of high school. I'd pressure myself to make the highest grades possible to get myself ready to take on this challenging work. I'd do all i could to make sure i would go to a four year college and do all i could to graduate early to begin a life with less struggle. I'd be so determined to make myself better that i'd try ways to study with my self to understand things quicker and better. I would want that advice to last a lifetime and give a vivid picture of what life would be without an education. I would plead and beg myself not to try to have a social life but pursue education as the first priority. I would advise that focus be the key.

When I was a senior in High School, I had only one thing in mind: College. All my effort was directed to my goal of going to a good college, especially Wisconsin Lutheran College, which was my first option since I came to the United States. As an advice to that senior girl, I would suggest her to start having some reading practices. College is all about reading, and I was never a good reader, I never liked it. When I got to college it was a huge challenge, but I could make it through. The transition from high school to college was not as hard as everyone used to say. I went to a dorm school with a high academic level, a good preparatory for college. Every time I go back in time, I feel like I was so ready to go to college that I did not even feel the change. College is wat I always wanted, not only when I was a senior in high school, but since I was little. Going to college and having a carrier is one of my principle values from my parents.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to have faith and confidence in myself. I would tell myself to stay strong during tough times. I would say that the transition will not be easy, but tell myself that I will make friends. I would tell myself that while the workload seems to be never ending, I will not only make it through and succeed. I would encourage myself to become an active student and to try hard in everything that I do. Above all else, I would tell myself to always believe in myself and, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “go confidently in the direction of [my] dreams.”

Remember to excersie! You don't move around much in college and you will gain weight if you don't use the gym every other day at least. Don't be afraid to talk to people and discover their names. Make as many friends as you can so that you have people you can call just to hang out. Do not procrastinate. It will help nothing in the long run. Get things done in a timely fashion so that if you need help you are able to get it.

I would say, "Nathan, be the man that you are and not the man that others want you to be. Always love and show honesty to your future wife because she will always help you and forgive you. Do not be afraid to call home too often. Mom and dad will always love you. Talk to those around you, make new friends, and keep your best friends for life. Follow your dreams and goals because this school will surprise you and help you along the way. Andrew will be your best friend, and talk to Billy before Junior year. Strangely, you will enjoy bioethics, and follow the morals that you have. Other than that, everything will be fine."

I would have to say do not stop at just your associates degree, but to always work towards higher education. The more you know the better you will be for your carreer. (To me this doesn't mean how much money I could make, but in my field, to be able to teach, protect and provide for students that do not have the same opportunities I had.) When you are open and honest with your professors and ask for help, they are there to help and guide you to be the best you can be. The professors do not want to send you into the job market unperpared, they also want to see you succeed and give back to the community and the future of the next generations to come. Lastly I would have to say is work hard and do you best whole heartedly and you will succeed.

I would tell myself to not procrastinate until your senior year with a life changing decision about which college to attend. Since I wanted to pursue Education, I knew that I could have gone to any college in the United States because of the popularity of the profession. However, when I began to research various colleges, I realized that I wanted to attend a school that was smaller and more intimate than a large state university. I never thought about applying to Wisconsin Lutheran College, but after more research and a campus tour, I was ready to make that decision. As a member of the Admissions team at the college, I assist with giving campus tours to prospective students, and I think that it's very positive that sophomores and juniors are coming to the campus to have that knowledge about the school in order to make that decision.

Enjoy every day of your college career. Take your studies seriously but don't take yourself too seriously. Everything passes in time. Once you leave school and get into the work world its pretty much the same thing day after day so enjoy every opportunity to try new things while you are in college and discover your passions!

Before coming to America for an undergraduate degree in Wisconsin Lutheran College, I spent all my life in China. I went to high school in China. High school year is the most stressful period of time for Chinese students, because of the college-entrance exams, which is considered as the most important exams in one's life and can determine one's future. College in China is very different from the ones in the States. Once a student is admitted by a college, they do not need to worry about whether they will be able to graduate. Exams in college are designed for students to pass. However, the education system in America is completely different. Students are graded by their attendence, participation in class, papers and exam results. Some courses have required grade levels. Therefore, if I could go back in time, I would tell myself to keep working hard as in high school, and set certain goals for short-term and long-term and work hard to achieve them.
