Brigham Young University-Hawaii Top Questions

If i could talk to my senior self, i would tell him that he will have fun in college, he will go to parties and meet lots of people, some will become great friends. I will tell him that he will become a fine a athlete. I will assure him that he will be popular, and that all the things that are important to him now as a senior in college are being fulfilled, but i will also tell them that he is not as happy as he'd hoped. I will tell him that his grades aren't very good, and that he is struggling finacially, and that his mom is not able to support him anymore, and all the things that you thought were important as a senior in High School aren't really important to him in college. I would tell him that he trying really hard now as a sophmore in college to get good grades and to seek financial aid, and work to support himself, but it's a bit to little to late. So my advice to him is to remember you are not a kid anymore, and real happiness comes through hard work.

If I could go back in time and give the high school me advice about college, I would let her know that nothing worth having comes easy. Being able to go to college is a privalige that many are not awarded, and for someone to take advantage of it and not put forth their best efforts is just a waste of time. I would tell her to work hard from start to finish and not to give up when it starts to get hard. That her victory and accomplishments will mean so much more because she did it with effort, blood, sweat and tears along the way.

I think the students studing in America study hard. In Japan, many college students do not study very much because they do not have a lot of homework and do not have to go to all classes. On the other hand, we studing in America have a lot of homework and we cannot be absent many times. At first sight, Japanese college is better than American,because Japanese college seemes be more at ease. However, I think an just easy life is worth nothing. Japanese students go to their school for only thier credits not for taking lectures. What is a difference between American college and Japanese? I think it is style of classes. In Japan, the students just listen to lectures of their professors. To tell the truth, it is very boring. In America, we can take classes while communicate with our teachers. Sometimes our teachers ask us the import of what we talking about at that time, becouse they check if the students can understand, sometimes the teachers let us discuss. I think those are reasons that we can grow up. If you want to study more hard for your future, you should study abroad.

If I could have the chance to go back to my high school years, I would tell to myself that I should be much stronger and happier than I could ever be. During my high school years, I lost my mom and I was struggling to know what I should do and who I should become in my life. I want to tell myself that I need to take the responsibility of my life and live my life. I want to make myself believe that no matter how bad things happened to me, I can still be happy and I can still make other people happy. In other words, I should not let others affect me negatively. Because I know now that everybody faces some kind of trials but it is my responsibility to face my own trials and deal with them. Trials are there to make us happier and stronger and not to make us loosers!

First of all, I would tell myself to do the best I could and get the highest grades possible. I remember hearing this all the time when i was in high school, but it wasnt until I began attending college that I really realized that the better grades you have, the more doors you have open to you. I would also tell myself to not be afraid of taking time off from school to travel or to work. People now days often say to graduate as quickly as possible and start working to make money. Although this is not bad advice, it is important to enjoy the journey and have unique experiences that will be educational to you for the rest of your life. Some things cannot be learned in a text book. Last, I would tell myself, or anyone preparing for college, to enjoy the ride. life is short, tyet very important. Work hard, but always make time to appreciate the adventure life is.

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, the main thing I would tell myself would be not to worry so much about what I want to eventually do. That's what the beginning of college is for. Counselors, advisors, and trial and error will all help you to decide what you want to do. Many students who decide on a major before they begin college end up changing it anyway. Instead of constantly stressing over this, just work your hardest to do the best that you can academically now. Work hard to earn up some money and scholarships before you head to college as well. As you take your general education classes, make sure that you set aside plenty of time to study and really know the things that you are learning. Make sure that school is a priority over your social life. There will be time for that as well, but you want to be sure that you do the best that you possibly can with your projects and assignments. Work hard in school but if it gets overwhelming, definitely do not be scared to take a break. That could help you more than anything.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would tell myself to work hard for want you want because nothing will be handed to you in life. Make sure you are always honest in your doings with your school work, professors, and fellow students. Make sure you always try to help others out in anyway you can because you never know what might happen down the road when you need there help. Always have repsect for your professors because they spend so much time preparing lessons for you to learn. Seek council in all your doings for others may see things that you may not. Listen to there advice especially to the ones who have been there and done it. When you set your mind on goals give everything you have to acheiving your goals. If you wanna make a difference in your life you have to make the change. Dont let people opinions of you get you down. Take them with a grain of salt and endure through. No one ever said that school and life was easy. But i can gurantee that hardships are worth the end results!

If I could give me an advice of what I will experience in college, I could say to me to be prepared, because the professors aren’t the same as they were in high school. It’s up to you to have the material and to be prepared for anything in the dynamism of the classes. One of the most important advices I could give to myself is to have a good and efficient studying plan, I think this is very hard when the students arrive to college without knowing the correct orientation about this. Another advice I could say to myself, is to have the sufficient knowledge of the career or bachelor degree of preference, I think that would help you know what you will experience in the future. Knowing some techniques of designing will help you in what you will confronting. I would ask myself if I am prepare of taking this bachelor degree in architecture, having in mind that all my life I have experienced all about drawings and methods of designing.

I must admit that I wasn’t a great student in high school; sports were my main motivation and not grades. However, I learned fast that sports are important nevertheless grades are the most important thing after learning. We go to middle and high school to prepare for the college life and experience. If we don’t take the advantage of getting prepared when we can, we will suffer during our first semesters in college. Make sure you be friends with those that take education seriously and know what they want to happen in the next 5 years of their lives. Set big goals and small ones, as you accomplish your small goes it will lead you to achieve your dreams. Your goals won’t come to you; you must go to them with hard work. College is a preparatory phase to the rest of your life, depending how you apply this experience to your life it will reflect what kind of person you want to be.

If I could go back, I would tell myself to start college a lot sooner. The benefits I've recieved from not only the schooling, but how myself as a person have greatly changed for the better. I get to work on cars which is something I dreamed about as a kid. Going to this school has giving me hope that someone who grew up with barely the basics to get through, can make something of themselves and not end up going down a path of wrong and misfortune. I as a person can show others that going to school is absolutly possible no matter where you from or what you have you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
