One of the first things I would tell my high school self is to work hard, but keep balanced. I would tell myself it's very important to find the happy medium between school work and finding time to relax. It makes all the different in the world when your mind is clear and you are trying to do school work rather than being completely overwhelmed by having too much to do. I would tell myself to thank my teachers for all that they do. I would remind myself that I am my own worst critic; go easier on myself. Of course I would mention taking as many honors classes as I could, because collegiate level courses aren't as intimate as high school; I would have learned more and been able to ask more questions. Overall, I would go back to tell myself to keep up the good work and keep my chin up, things will always work out if I try hard enough.

I would first tell my younger self that no matter what is going on and what is going to happen that I need to apply myself to my school work and go to school. I would say that no matter what is going on at home that I am capeable of amazing things if I just buckle down and apply myself. I would also tell myself that all of the people that I think are my friends that are influencing my to make the choices I am making are not going to be around forever so I need to worry about me and make sure that I am making an effort to be successful.

The advice I would give myself is to never give up! Go to college right away instead of waiting and pursue my dreams! I never thought I could make it and I was wrong. This is something that is worth it and you should strive for it! You can do anything that you set your mind to. Stop being so hard on yourself and believe in who you are! You are amazing and awesome and you can do it!

Take a look at all of your options, do not just assume that college will come easy and that an on-campus setting will be your best choice in furthering your education. Look at the way that you learn the best and look at all of your options, on-campus and online campus, and decide what type of learning would be best for you instead of trying to be like everyone else in your class. Do not give up on your dreams of going to college just because it is hard or because something life changing, such as having children, has happened in your life. Use your life changing experience to set an example for others such as your children or other family members and finish what you start.

Finish college immediately following graduation, you have your whole life to have fun. The fun happens when your life is secure with an education and career to support your any activities your heart desires.

I would tell myself to attend college while I am in the service and be sure to complete getting my degree. Even though a degree may not seem important now it will definetly be important later in life. A degree will help with your self confidence and help better support your family. This is what I would tell myself knowing what I know now.

I can recall being a senior in high school and feeling overwhelmed with the idea of college. If I could go back knowing what I know now I would of told myself that college is an important opportunity that allows me to learn new skills that in turn would provide the path for me to locate a rewarding career. I would explain to myself that there are advisor who will be there to help me through the process making it an easier transition for me to begin my college career. Eeryone needs a little guidance or support.

If my 45 self could tell my 17 year old self anything it would be; to hold your head a bit higher, realize that the only thing in life to fear is fear itself and to go out into the world and accomplish anything in the world you want because you can achieve success and a career despite the odds, not to let anyone tell you otherwise or let the learning disabilities stand in your way. That obstacles are only speed bumps on the path to a journey well-traveled and if you go over them enough times slowly, and with caution there are a million you will get past with ease. And never go through life alone with out a mentor.
