Cerritos College Top Questions

I would tell myself to interact with those people on campus who are there to help with financial need and that prepare you for college. Do not slack off, take every class serious, finish extra credits, participate in class activities and those out-of-school activities. When the opportunity emerges to volunteer in community service, go for it! If their are people in your life that get you into trouble or give you bad advice, avoid them. If they are your true friends they will understand, and be on board with your decision as school being a priority. No one is responsible for your actions, you are the only one that decides where your life ends up.

Everything i learn since the first day of college to present i would tell myself which includes, registation, fees, payments, deadlines and etc. You have to learn to have a focus mind in college to be about to make sure everything is set the right now for you to achieve your dreams.

If I could go back in time I would have told myself to focus way more on school and school activities rather than word. I moved in with my boyfriend (now 11 years later he is my husband) and worked full time my senior year in high school. I lost my focus my senior year and didn't get to really enjoy it. I would tell myself to deal with my parents and focus on school. I think if I would have done that I would have continued to go to college right after and not wait 9 years like I have done. But I am happy that I am in school now and I love it.

If i could go back into time when i was a senior, i would let myself know how procrastination in high school is different than procrastination in college. and that if i were absent for a day, is literally missing four chapters of lecture and that showing up will help me and that i could do so much better if i took certain classes more seriously. the fact that with out school i'd almost have no purpose on this earth and that school can take me farther than anything else could. college is for the serious endearing students who pursue a GREAT and not mediocre life. if i'd just take the time and concentrate and push myself life in the long run will be easier and that not everything is handed to you, as it is in highschool. college you have to seek help its just not given out. you have to want it and you have to do what makes you happy.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would convience myself to complete school. To never let go of your dreams. Give myself knowledge that life is VERY hard without education back round. That ME time is important and it isn't selfish to finish school even thought I had a child. I would try to convience myself that life without an education is extremly hard.

I am so proud of you. Danielle, you have worked diligently and it paid off. The goals that you have set for yourself are great but remember life happens. Enjoy life and embrace failure because it only leads you to success. Don't forget that roadblocks will come but it will all be worth it in the end. With me being the Danielle from your future, I can tell you in my present moment that wonderful things are happening and great opportunities are coming towards us. There are no limits and I believe in you and your ability to do whatever you put your mind to. P.S. Your company is going well. Your dreams do turn into reality. So don't worry!!!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself not to slack off or take time off of school because you would want to finish earlier on so that you can find a better paying job. Also find a major that you think you can pursue in like teaching because it has always been something that you loved and never let anyone get in your way of finishing school. This is what I would tell myself.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself what I needed to do to be better prepared for college. I would tell myself to work hard in all my classes to get the best grades I could get. I would push myself harder in the sports I enjoyed participating in so I could get a scholarship so I could go to any college I wanted without my parents having to take out a loan or having to sacrifice going to a community college to save on money. I would also tell myself to participate in as many clubs and oranizations as possible. Basically, I would tell myself to work harder to prepare myself for college and the world after college. I believe I would be further along in my education or even finished and further along in my career if I knew as much then, as a high school student, as I know now. Deyera Bizzell

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that education is going to pay off and it's important to do better in high school so I won't have to start all over in college. I would encourage myself to take college prep courses as well as AP honor courses. I'd make sure to include the economy status and the unemployment rate so that I can think twice about my education. I'd also encourage myself to get good grades so I can win scholarships and grants to pay for college. I'd include the benefits of joining clubs in school so that I can hang around with positive influences who are also dedicated to pursuing a great career. I'd tell myself to volunteer and do extra curricular activities to improve my resume. If anything, I'd make sure to tell myself about paying attention in school and not to slack off. I would also mention how much potential I have and if I want something I have to strive to achieve it. I'd believe in myself and move forward. I'd study often.

That you should do your best that you can be, excel at what you do best, and have no regrets.
