Chandler-Gilbert Community College Top Questions

Although, what I might say is to become more responsible. In addition, I would also tell myself to become more dedicated to my education instead of just enjoying life's "day to day adventure." But, as I said, that is what I might say. As I grow up more every day and experience college and look back on my past. I see many mistakes and trials that I could have avoided or made a better decision. Even though, I do not regret any of them. Most people have heard the quote that mistakes are lessons in life. That is true for me, I would not want to give myself in the past any advice because I do not want to change anything. The person I am today and as I continue to grow is all because of my past. With that, I appreciate my past and the only advice, if anything, would be to just keep doing your own thing. I could not be happier the way I am because it is who I am meant to be. I made my past and now I shall focus on my present too make a better future.

Once you become a college student you will feel very mature and very scared all at the same time. Stop pretending your dumb to get the approval of everyone else, in college you will be admired for your sparkiling wit. On your first day of college you will feel a little overwelmed and lost, just breath and take your time getting to know your new school. Make sure you are looking at a Libral Arts degree not an Early Childhood Education degree. The Early Childhood Education degree is for those brave people who can handle preschoolers and daycares, not you who wants to teach Kindergarten. While in college you will find many friends and people to hang out with and talk to. You will also find the love of your life in a Theatre class. Some of the High School friends you have now or people you know of will become the closest people to you. Get rid of Nikki before she gets a chance to harm you. She dosn't trust you. Never let Ariel out of your heart always be there for her, and she is there for you now just open your eyes and see her.

Alot i would tell my self that college isn't a joke and your out here on your own. And never take things for granted and always keep your mind on god and have a clear mind on what you have to accomplish to succeed in college and in life.

My senior year of high school was in 2000. I am what they call an "adult student", but finally followed my dream of becoming a nurse. I recently passed my LPN boards, and am on my way of receiving my RN. Although I am 30 years old, and there are still many life lessons ahead of me, I do know much more now than as a high school senior. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that the $10/ hour job is NOT the best you can do. I would tell myself that you are smarter then you give yourself credit for and to listen to your heart and become a nurse. I would tell myself that the best things in life don't come easy, and to stop putting the hard things (college) off. Most importantly, I would tell myself that these college years have taught me more about myself then I have ever imagined. I have discovered who I am meant to be and have met some amazing patients and instructors who have changed my life forever, and I am just getting started.

I know that, if you're reading this, there has been a major discovery of time travel of some sorts. I just want to let you know that times are hard right now. You have always been required to make it on your own. However, there will be a day when things get better. You are intellegent and perfectly capable of graduating from this school early, just as you had hoped. There will be a day when life outside of school becomes worse than it already is. On that day, you will face two options: run away and drop out of school or stay and hope that the person who is trying to hurt you will eventually go away. I want you to know that he has no power in your life and no way to harm you. Keep fighting for your right to live outside of the walls of the ghetto. You will become so much more than you have ever imagined with the help of some very special people who are willing to prove their love. You're going to make it - just hold on.

Peice of mind, secuity, and hope, is what i have gotten out of my college expreience. The piece of mind that I will be able to find a job in a econimy that is suffering. The security that my career will pay the bills and my children will have the very best of what they deserve. Finally the hope that I will be a good example for the way I hope my children will be able to follow. All the things in a persons life that is hard, can be eaised with an education, money, shelter, and self-worth. It has been valuable for me to attend because I now have the confidence that I can do anything I set my mind to. I value Every thing college has to teach me, not only the education of my feild, but life skills.

College has given me a chance to change and grow as a person. It has influenced the way I look at the world, and the way I relate to people.

So far I learned so much in college. Not only am I learning important facts about the world around me, but also information that I can apply in my daily life. I have learned about people's actions in soceity as well as people's actions in societies where the culture is much different than mine. Because I have been taught so much about other culture, I now have a new found respect for cultural differences. At Chandler-Gilbert, I have also learned the importance of education and how I can benefit the most from my college experience. Over the past few months I have recognized some things I can do to make sure I am learning as much as possible in college. First and foremost, I realize that in each class I have to be 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} present, physically and mentally, engaging in conversation and exploring various topics of discussion. The great discussions I have participated in within my classes, has taught me to listen and respect others' opinions and challenge my own. With this knowledge that I have learned in college I believe I can be successful throughout the rest of my college career, as well as life after.

I would tell myself to start applying for scholarships earlier and to also get a feel for what I would like to do in the future. If I could have been able to take classes and join different clubs that I had an interest in, instead of working and babysitting all the time, it might have been a lot easier to choose a major and to get money for school - instead of struggling. I would also tell myself to have gone out to college campuses earlier, like ASU and U of A to get a feel for the large university, since that would have prepared me to go into a smaller college and move onto one of those larger universities, preferably ASU. On the other hand, I would tell myself to still enjoy my senior year, to have fun and keep up my grades, even though that was never a problem.
