I've learned that life isn't as predictable as you might think it is and because of that to take school more seriously, because one day you might not be able to afford school anymore. Knowledge is what will propel you in life and not being able to finish has really set me back, especially with the complete lack of jobs.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell me that college isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I would say to actually stay and graduate high school instead of dropping out and getting a GED, that would be the worst mistake ever. I would tell me to wait to have a baby, even though babies are great, it would be easier to finish schooling, get a career, and then have a baby at a better time. I would also let myself know that she should go straight to college instead of waiting 2 years, nothing gets easier just by putting it off until a later date. That's what I would tell my senior self if I could go back in time.
