Bethune-Cookman University Top Questions

Going back in time and talk to myself as a high shool senior I would have told myself to stay on top no time for slack because it is not an option. I have always been an a good student and have outstanding grades so that was not a problem. Knowing what i know about college I would have said it is nothing like how my teacher told me it would be. Going back i would say strive for higher never settle for less, stay focus, prepare for every judgement and critical thought. I would have told myself as a higher school senior never takes someone words and twist them, always have refrences, and information to back uo a staement. Never just go off of what someone says because they are not always right.

I know that it must be extremely difficult to except. The fact is,that I am you from the future. Whether you believe this fact to be true or come to the conclusion that I myself consist of fragments from your fictitious enchantments of the mind is entirely your decision. My only request is, heed my warning and act as you see fit. You have three main goals and life right? The first is to graduate high school. Done, although I believe we could have done better. The point is we succeeded. Second goal is to get into collage. Well we?re almost there, just a major pot hole in the middle of the road that leads to the compilation of this goal. MONEY, see the collage that well except us is three times the amount we expected. I knew that you are trying to get a scholarship and that you figure if you can?t get one now, you well later. Let me tell a little secret that plan?s not working. All that I ask of you is for you to try harder. As for the third goal; see you when we get there. To the future, Diamond

I WOULD TELL MY SELF IN OTHERS IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN THAT U PLAN TO FAIL .I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD STUDY AND WORK HARD BECAUSE SCHOOLING IS EXPENSIVE YOUR MIND WOULD BE A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself while I was a high school senior there are a couple of things that I would say that differ from what I actually did. The first thing thing that I would do would tell myself to find a college that is not as expensive. This would be done so my future would not consist of having to pay off so many student loans. I would have considered going to a community college first to get an Associates degree, then transfer to college/university to complete my degree. This would be because saving some money and possibly some time is very important. I would also find a college that is well advance in the area of interest that I would be pursuing in the future. This would be done so finding a job would be as easy as possible I would also pick a different route in finding monies for school so if I could get a "FREE" education, I would. If I could talk myself again while being a senior in high school, this is what I would do.

I would tell my self girl worl harder now when yur in hight school get the best GPA that you could get. Because you will need it when your trying to get in to college. When you take the placement test take you time dont rush threw it because you dont wont to be stuck in the college prep class it a wast of time an it will hold you up in the long run

The advice I would give myself is to manage my time wisely. Don't wait until the last minute to start working on an assignment. In High school it was easy to complete a paper in 1 to 2 days. College requires a lot more research and effort.

I would tell myself to study hard,improve my test socers, and become a member of ROTC.

I word try do much better in school and make the right decusion.

If I could give myself any advice it would be to make sure I look for scholarships all year round and never wait around. There is so much unused scholarship money and it's up to me as the striving college student to make sure that I try my best to get them. I waited until March of my high school senior year to look for scholarships and came up unsuccessful. When I came to collge money was such a big issue and I now have loans and worries that could have been subsided with some hard working searches. I have learned my lesson since then and now will do what I can to make sure these next 3 years are as smooth and effective as I can make them .

I would give myself more studying time to allow myself a good grade point average.
