When I was a senior at Oxon Hill High School I so focused on passing my classes and having fun, I completely forgot how quickly the school year was ending . Everytime the opportunity came to apply for a scholarship I would put it on hold thinking I had all the time in the world to complete them. As my second advise I would tell myself is that fun can wait. I was so concerned about enjoying my senior year to the fullest, I forgot all about the things I needed to do in order to attend college. A wise man once told me, " you can always have fun, it doesn't stop with age". Overall I would just tell myself to focus more on the steps to attend college, and graduating with the lowest amount of money to owe.

Learn all you can, study hard, do your absolute best and do not settle for the "I'm just going to get by attitude".

College is an exciting place with lots of freedom, freedom that will allow you to stray from the teachings that has enabled you to get where you are; freedom to use your time wisely or foolishly. High school is very important; especially your senior year because it is here that you perfect the skills that will carry you through to your freshman year of college and beyond. College is very costly so use your time to get scholarships, grants and other money to offset tuition and other costs. Do your very best in classes because many scholarships are offered at graduation if your GPA is high enough. A four-year College education can leave you in debt unless you use the resources given to you. Realize things will change and adjustments must be made. You will have to work for everything you want, no more late assignments. Everything runs on schedule and if you fall behind schedule you fall behind for the semester. In high school, practice good study and organization skills. You have to know how to balance what is important with fun activities and get ready to have the most fun you will ever have in your life.

"Always dream!!" would have been the advice that I would have told myself as a high school senior. Dreaming is very important because without dreams you wouldn't have passion. Without passion there are no desires and with no desires you will never be driven. Dreaming is hard because a lot of us become afraid of what our parents, friends, family, and etc may think. However, those people don't know what's best for you! The only person that will know what's best for you is yourself. You know the desires of your heart and you know what you're striving for. As a person who's always been driven by children. Working with children and being around children gave me the passion to become a teacher. There are individuals that disagrees with my dream, and they say that "You're not going to make any money". Even though those individuals disagrees with my dream it doesn't mean that I can not accomplish it. I just have to fight and work hard until I see my dream come true. So I say to you never give up on your dream until you see it come to pass.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself in high school I would let me know that there is a very big differnce between high school and college. Some of the things you learn in high school are needed for in college. Classes like English and Math you need these classes and not everything they are teaching they are teaching you for nothing. You really need that information The reason why you will be able to write good papers is because of your English teachers. Also college math is difficult so try and pay exta attention. Also dont think beause you took a classin high school it will be a piece of cake because it isn't. The best advice I can give myself is to read, take notes, pay attention, and do work on time. Because college isn't all about school there is fun there too, but you must make sure that your ahead of the game in order to have as much fun as you want.
