Cerritos College Top Questions

I would advice myself to don't procastinate on the paper work. On the financial aid, and taking the placement tests. I would still maintain the idea of being a full-time student because that is very helpful. I would tell myself to stay focused in school and stay dedicated.

If I could go back in time to change anything, to be completely honest I don't think I would change anything at all. I have learned that life is a learning experience and if you change anything in the past then you would affect what you learned. I have always looked at things as a learning process and not being able to experience that would be a waste of life. having all the answers is not a way to live that would make life incredibly borring. So I would tell myself to keep doing what I am doing and not to change anything. I am not a person that worries about what could have been, I rather think of what I am going to be and what the future will hold in store for me. Life is one big surprise, and each experience in it should be considered valuable.

If I could go back to when I was a high school student I would have taken classes that I thougt where to hard to take. I would have been more focus on my college life not just the fact that I was graduating an no longer was a high school student. The approch to college would have been more serious on my part.

For as long as I can remember, my family has always looked to me to be the one in the family to make something of myself. I am the youngest of six girls; the daughters of parents who came to California from Mexico with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. I am the only one in my family to graduate high school with a 3.8 GPA and with hopes to go onto college, and so my family looks toward me to make something of myself. This dream that my family and I share is a motivation for myself, a motivation that sometimes scares me; its one that, somedays, I am not sure I can live up to. My advice to myself is to remember that as long as i try my very best, things will be ok and my family will be proud, no matter what. I would tell myself to live life, one day at a time, an to the very best of my abilities, so that, no matter what happens, it was worth it.
