The advice that I would give myself if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior is that your general courses matter. General courses are just as important as core courses because they are the bulk of your grade point average. I would also tell myself to learn how to write well because you will be writing many essays and research papers for the next four to six years. Stay focused on your life goals and do not become absorbed in having college social life. Sure, have fun and enjoy your youth but also remember there is life after youth. When you enter college, you began to build the foundation of your life. You have to look good on paper. When you apply for a job, which will be primarily online, the employer is look at your accomplishments, credentials and often times your college transcripts. What do you want that employer to see? What on your application sets you apart from the other applicants? Always give your optimal performance and take pride in your work. You are an A student so do not settle for less than that.

The main advice I would give myself as a high school senior about to embark in the transition of transferring to a University is learn how to adapt to your surroundings and learn how to develop appropriate time management. As a full time college student you generally have assignments due every week on specific days and at specific times and although those specific assignment deadlines usually are inconvienent to a students schedule (to those who work, especially full time jobs) it can become very hard for a student to keep up and quite easy to get behind. Therefore, learning how to use proper time management is essential in a higher educational environment. Another advice I would give to myself is to never give up. Never give up on striving to be the best student you can be. Never let your High School teachers and principle or anyone else tell you that "you are not good enough". Never stop reaching for the goals you want for yourself and creating the academic foundation of excellence in order to reach them. As an ADA student, I have encountered countless obstables and face more every day.

I would tell myself not to worry so much about the destination but to enjoy the ride. Going to a college strait out of high school was intimidating but I really should have stopped stressing and instead have been more relaxed.

Stay in school and finish what I started. It's alot easier fresh out of high school than to go back at 43 with a family life.

My experience was very positive. I learned the importance of hard work and studying. I feel I have successfully entered the work environment with a soild base of information a good education. It was important for me to interact with my fellow students and doing so helped me relize the benefit of working in a group.

My college education has been valuable for several reasons. First, it has allowed me to explore many subjects that are of interest to me. I entered college with no idea of what I wanted to major in, and being exposed to many areas of study has allowed me to become a well-rounded person as well as helped me refine my goals. Second, I have had the opportunity to learn from and with some incredible people. I will forever be thankful to the professors and classmates who have challenged and inspired me. Finally, it has taught me the importance of critical thinking. Creative problem solving and thinking outside the box are important skills to possess after graduation. Through my educational exploration I have come to the decision that I want to become a librarian, an occupation requiring a Master's degree. After taking an American Sign Language class on a whim I became interested in Deaf culture; I now hold an Associate's degree in ASL studies. In the future I would like to combine my interests in order to make library materials and programs available to Deaf patrons and help address issues surrounding Deaf literacy.

Ashley, you should really strive to do your best with everything you have got. Work on your study habits. Although you will do really well in college, assume the responsibility that you know you are capable of. In the future, you will understand why you have had these opportunities as a senior. You need to apply for more scholarships even though you will get a few, it will not be enough in the future. College is expensive and you know that mom and dad can not pay for it; so use your time and knowledge very wisely. No matter what put education first and then worry about everything else later. Be careful, be safe, and try your best in every thing you do and you will succeed.
