Chester Career College Top Questions

What I would have liked to know as a high school senior. The world is not as scary as one thinks. When you put your mind to it you can do anything you put your mind too. I would offer the advice if you really are interested in a career, check into the classes to see if it really appeals to you. You have plenty of people who can help you with this decision, but make sure the decision is yours. Do not make your decisions based on what your best friend is doing or let them talk you out of your goals in life. You can start setting goals now and start small so not to disappoint yourself. All goals are obtainable if you put your mind to it, plus some determination. Life can be a scary place you just have to have some self determination and confidence to get through. You will have your ups and downs, but that’s what makes us who we are in life. The main thing you need to know is just be you and follow your dreams. The world is yours for the taking.

First of all I would like to say that I'm very proud of you for wanting to further your education. My advice would be to make sure you can have a stable career and you have picked the right career path because we will always need nurses. Be assertive and tenacious. Do the very best you can it is going to long hours of studying plenty of test taking. Best of all, you meet new people and learn the professionalism of being a nurse. You are the first one out of your immediate family that will be going to college and for that alone, you should be grateful. The human body is very important. We need our health to survive. You are young and vibrant and there are alot of people that's less fortunate. You need to have the knowledge of the Anantomy so you will be able to teach them about themselves, but of course by the doctors orders. You will be fine. I trust and believe in you, You are going to excell beyond your expectations and have a great career ahead of you. I pray that you will continue to go further in your education.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about college I would talk to myself about these things: What I want to majaor in, If I have to use financial aid, or loans or what college would accomodate me the best. I would brainstorm on what I would like to major in . I think about how my decision will effect my life. I would make sure the subject was something I wanted to do. I also would have to think about loans and financial aid if I apply. I would talk to a financial aid offer to discuss what kind of loans I applied for, and what is the time frame of paying my loans off . I would make sure the school accomodate me and I was more than a student body. The staff at the school treat me like a person and if I have any needs or concerns they would be there to address my concerns. I also would make sure the school program fit me as a person and it would be right for my future. If I could go back into time these would be my questions to myself.

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell my self to get my head on my shoulders and go on to college. I would explain that there is no reason to be scared, and I would reassure myself that I could do anything I put my mind to. When myself protested that I didn't know what I was talking about, and trust me I would have, I would have said that "the path that you have chosen now is going to be a very difficult and trying path; you will have so many obstacles to overcome, make it easier on yourself and do it now". I know being who I am now that as a 17 year old senior in high school I wouldn’t have listened to myself and I would have said "it's ok I know your not going to listen to me, just know that in the end it will be harder but you will learn a lot of things about yourself that otherwise you may have never known and with hard work and perseverance you will overcome anything!"

If I could go back and tell myself anything, I would stress the importance of getting a good GPA and going to school immediately after I graduated. I wish I would've had the knowledge and resources to understand how important an education is. If I had gone to college as soon as I graduated I would be in my chosen career field right now not having to deal with the stress of being a single parent, working and going to school. I would tell myself about the job security that is available in the healthcare field and also the many oppurtunities to grow and advance in the medical profession.

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell me to try a little harder to get better grades to get into a university. I had always wanted to go to University of Florida, so I could remind my younger self of that goal and encourage me to go away to college and get that experience that I have missed. I always would steer myself in the direction of health care, which is the field I am in now, but I would be working in my chosen field instead of still in school at 25. Because of this, I would make sure to tell my high school self to forget business and go healthcare!

Decisions are made each and everyday good and bad, some of which you have no idea whether they are good or bad until after the fact. It's all apart a life. Not many people in the world today wouldn't go back and change a few things or make some different decisions based on what they learned after or didn't know prior to some of there previous choices. If I could change the hands of time and go back to my high school days I would do it in a flash. Not that I've made all bad decisions, jus think a few could have been made better. I would take full advantage of my education and do my best in school. Make the best grades possible, and I would have probably went directly to college to further my education, so that I could have gotten it done as fast as possible. I wouldn't have taken any breaks in between high school and college. I would have applied for scholarships, grants, and things of that nature to help further my education.

Assuming I could go back in time and talk to my self in high school I would say, straighten up and do better, study for thus S.A.T. That life is to short to not get your education and make your life easy. That skipping school is not the answers to any problems. That it is not about where you have been, but about where you are going. Because trust me if you new the road that you would be travelling you would do a u-turn quickly. I would also say that studying is the key. Don't just do what you have to do to get buy, go above and beyond if you have to. Finally I would tell my self find a scholarship get free money, because when you start school it going to be ruff you are going to need all the money you can get. Expellee with a wife and four kids, boy you’re in for a bumpy road good luck and ill no if you listened to me because my life will be different when I get back hopefully for the good.

My advice to my high school self is to keep going in school and dont take any breaks because sooner or later before you know it, it will alkl be over and then you can finally relax. Work hard and study hard for a major that you can prosper from eventually. Dont waste any of your time at work because school is much more important than wasting all your energy on a side job not a career or profession. But if you do work and which i am sure you will, you should save your money and live at home with your parents because they are more willing to help you out. It is okay to take help from others so you can stop making situations harder for yourself. Listen to this advice, take it in and everything will flow much easier for you. This is what i would tell my high school self.

When I first graduated from high school at the age of 17, in June of 2001, I applied to John Tyler Community College. I was accepted in July of 2001. My major was Elementary Education. Every since I was small, I always wanted to become a teacher. I only finished one semester. I would say I gave up to easy. In the years between 2001 and 2011, I had 2 children. I then realized that I'm not getting anywhere in my life by sitting at home. I also realized that I needed to make a better life for me and my kids. I enrolled myself again into Joh Tyler Community College in 2010. But due to an injury with my oldest son, I had to withdraw. One day me and my best friend was talking about where we were in our lives and we both decided to enroll in RSHT into the PharmacyTechnician Program. I will be finished in February of 2010 and I feel that I will have then accomplished something . With that being said, going back to being a high school senior, the advice that I would give myself would be to finish what you start.
