I had thought about this many many times. Throughtout my senior year I believed that college would be a walk in the park. I am the type of person that is able to barely show up to a class and do one homework assigment and pass with at least a C. So as a senior I thought that college would be the same and was under the assumption that C's were no big deal. Damn was I wrong... C's at college affect you and now I'm at least six months behind schedule because my GPA is not at least 2.5! So if i were to see myself as a senior I would dictate myself to develop good study habits, and to get off my lazy behind and stop taking things lightly. I would have never thought just how beneficial proper study skills can be.

If I were able to go back to my senior year and change things, I would change the way I handled my studies and I would have gotten more involved in school activities. I did well in high school but if I knew what I do now I would have studies more and tried harder. I would have also taken more college courses while still in high school. That would have given me more of a head start. As far as getting involved more in school activities, I feel that it would have opened my eyes to different people, and different ways of life. It would have also helped me in college to have a better understand and be more involved in my school.

The best advise I could possibly give myself is to start researching and applying for aid and colleges while still in high school and not to wait to start college but instead to start right after graduation. I found out by waiting for a semester to start college, that time goes by so fast and that one semester turns into a year. So that year that went by could have been a year in college completed already. So I would go back and tell myself "Don't Wait, Start College as Soon As You Can."

Before one can answer, they must truly analyze the question, and quetion the question itself. This question pertains to time travel, which most might find laughable, but is actually quite real, however this form of time travel mentioned above is impropable. According to quantum physics and the parrallel universes theory, traveling "back" in time, as if to hit rewind on a movie, is the wrong way to view both time travel and time itself. All events of the past, present, and future are happening simulaneously, and continuously with no end. My whole senior year is taking place right now in different universes, every second of it. So, for me to travel to my senior year, I would not travel "back," but rather sideways, to a parrallel univers where I am a senior in high school. So, if i could travel to a parrallel universe, where I would find an additional "me," I would tell him nothing, and even if I did, it would make no difference. You see, if I did say something to my other "self," "his" future and "my" future would not be the same, for he would live out one future, and I another.

Do not assume that there are not any programs for assisting first generation students. Get involved with programs or clubs and do not be afraid to make new friends. The college staff is friendly and are always willing to assist you with any goals. In order to succeed as a freshman I strongly suggest taking an orientation class to aid in the transition of college life and college leveled classes. Make sure to always manage your time wisely for study time, homework, and fun. Do all this and you are sure to succeed.
America
Well, for me this is an easy question, because i am Mexican,American and something that I would really like if I was back in time is know better english. I know I can speak, write and read very well now but, back then it was something very hard for me. Today I am proud of me because i can dominate english pretty good. So, something that I would like to do was been in US, schools instead of Mexico. But this is not all, I have something else that I would like to be ding if I went back and it was participate more in extracurricular activities because I think that was something that it would help out with my development as student. Instead of that, I think I was a good student.

i would defiantly be more organized. I am the type of person that will not go out until my homework is done and sometimes it gets me very frusterated. Also, if I knew how expensive college was and how hard it is to pay for it I would have applied for every schoroloship possible that the High School offered me.
Benjamin
I would tell myself what classes i need to take. I would also tell myself to join the marine corps just as i have already done because it did more to help me prepare for college than anything else did.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself not to slack off with class work, not to take extra shifts at work, and that the move from Peculiar, MO to Yuma, AZ is the best move you could ever make. First, I would tell my self not to slack off because slacking off only hurts you. College is much harder so plan accordingly don't take to many general education classes at once. Second, I would tell not to take on extra shifts at work because senior year is supposed to be fun. You will regret not going to prom, not hanging out with friends, and not leting your feelings known tords they guy you had a crush on since 6th grade. Finally, moving is the best thing you could ever do. Moving opens up many opportunities for you and your sons. They boys dad doesn't change things between you and him get even more complicated then they already are. Inconclusion, If i could go back in time I would let myself not to slack off, don't take extra shifts at work, and moving to Yuma is the best move you could ever make.
