If I could go back to when I was a high school senior, and give myself some advice, I would tell myself a lot of things. First off college is one of the most important steps in your life. There are so many obstacles and hardships you have to cross to accomplish what you want to do in life. First I would figure out what it is I want to do once I enter college, so that I could find the right schools to apply to, and the right subject to major in. I would let it be known that it is always ok to change your mind. Most students who enter college for the first time will change their major one time or another.Stay focsed there will be alot of peer pressure and other things that will deter you from focusing on what it is that you are trying to accomplish. You should aim for high grades because in order to be successful you have to stay focused, and stay on track. Dont give up or get down if you feel discouraged. There are many people and resources out there to help you.Go for it.

As a child growing up, I always wanted to become a doctor. However the community school I atended in a small town, provided basic education for all student and there was no financial aid in place for the less fortunate to attend college. Once I graduated from high school, I thought that a high school diploma was enough for me to get a job that pays well. Knowing what I know now, I would say to myself, Marjorie, you have to apply yourself to get a gollege education to achieve your goals. A high school diploma is good enough for a basic job but you will have many more options by achieving a college diploma in the medical field, thus giving you a better salary and a better life. There is financial aid in place that you do not have to begin paying it back until after you have graduated. Going to college is hard work but fun too. You get to meet different people, make new friends and the instructers are very helpful. It is worth the time and money to complete a two year college programe,which will in turn help you to obtain a decent paying job.

If I knew what I know now about making the transition from being a high school student to being a college student, it would be that I should have done it much sooner. I had a great rapport with my teachers and my work and study habits were great. I found the transition easy and I only wish now that I would have followd my heart and went on to college when I graduated from high school. Now that I am in a vocational program, I found that I fell back into my old habits and I love going to school. I can say this though, I see many others around me that have children and jobs that may defer them from giving their all to theri education. I would say to any student that is about to or has already graduated from high school to go back as soon as possible and try to avoid as many disruptions as possible. You don't want to wait until you get to be like me, 26 years old with 3 children and try to make a run for school then.

Assuming that i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i believe that i can make myself a better student for college and anything else that i would persue. I would tell myself to study hard and not to worry about, or sweat the small stuff, and that good things will come to those who work hard and wait. As a high school senior i never really knew the value of studying and where it could get you. Yeah i knew that studying would allow me to pass the class but it never really occured to me that it would affect me in the long run. I would tell myself that i can do this and nothing can stand in my way. I would tell myself that if you study hard the better your grades will look and in the long run it will bennefit you when choosing a college. I would aslo tell myself that the transition would much easier to the high ranked colleges and lead to a better education. Thats what i would do if i could go back in time and talk to myself.

Today as an adult I look back on my high school years and realize that while I thought of fun times and hanging out, my main focus should've been on futhering my education. To concentrate on a arrer that would serve me as a benefit today. I would have taken the tme to acquire better study habits and become a better student. High school should have been my time to set goals to carry me through my adult life and even though it's never to late to learn or go back to school I realize how much further I could be in my adult life. I begin a Physical Therapy for a while after finshng high school and was not focused enough to study and prepared myelf for the class, therefore I did not coplete this. If iI had to summarize things up for a hgh schoolsenior I would explain the importance of getting an earlystart to their lives by keeping good attendance, good grades, taking some college based classes and even setting some short term goals to help them achieve their log goals.My best advice to seniors is to start planning early .

As a girl growing up I never thought that the day would come when I was so discontented with myself, life, and job. Inside myself there was another person trying to accomplish a goal. Why I waited so long to acquire a better education had to do with the wrong pathways I traveled down and all the obsticles placed in my way. Most of all I wanted to build my own self respect, confidence and obtain knowledge , satisfaction in becoming a Medical Assistant . the answer, I love people in general from all aspects of life. I want to do something to help . The Medical field to me is the way to my hearts desire , and do what I have always wanted to do. I began my life thinking I was doing the right thing by getting a high school education,getting married having children,a home and a ordinary job, but the road to being happy with myself was never there. The answer came, go back to school. Become a dedicated caring professional with a smile , and encouragement and a will to accomplish a life long goal. Let's see how far my mind can take me.

You made it through high school just fine and college will feel like a different world. You will be able to choose classes that you enjoy . You will be able to develop learning and study skills that will allow you to be a great student . There will be times when you are taking a Math class that you will want to give up and throw in the towel. Keep with it ! Someone will work with you as you learn the material, manage your study time and be a better test taker. When you start only take two classes at a time. You will get the feel for things by the 3rd semester. Be careful on what classes you pair together , some combos are just bad combinations. There will be nights where you will be up writing papers and studying till you can't see straight. Those days will be gone before you know it. Most importantly you will achieve every goal you set before yourself. Some will take a little longer than you think. All in all after asking for help , getting extensions, studying every free moment, and the great support system (family) you will be successful.

If I could give my high school (senior) self any advice, I would tell myself to stop trying to make excuses for myself and just "bite the bullet" on my circumstances. Being I was already a mom to a two-year old son my senior year, I was already faced with a lot of challenges that a typical seventeen-year old could not even imagine facing. Juggling school, work, motherly duties, and operating as head of my household, my plate was full! Unfortunately, I wasn't mature enough to understand the importance of prioritizing-the right way. Knowing what I know now, I would have put my education second (to my son), and my ultimate goal would have been completing school and findidng what it is I wanted to do in life-what career choice would of made me happy. You see, I eventually ended up dropping out of twelth grade with only one semester remaianing. That had to have been the dumbest thing I could have possibly done because it set me back about eight years in life. Now-a-days, education is a must! Having a plan is the only way.

If I were a high school senoir again ...I would advise myself to stay in school and to further your education as much as possible and I would also advise myself to choose the best college possible far away from home so that when you finish you dont have to look for a job its going to come to you. I would also advise myself not to have any kids untill you finish your education..so that you can focus on that so that you would be able to give your kids everything that they want and you would not have to struggle so hard ...And I would also tell myself to stay focus..because the reward is much greater at the end.

If I could press the rewind button and go back to being a high school student, I definitely would have done a lot of things differently. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to my senior year. I dropped out of high school at age 16 because I thought I knew everything. I became pregnant with my first child at age18. I stayed with my parents until my child was 6 months old and moved into my first apartment. After my daughter’s first birthday, I decided that returning back to high school was not an option for me. I did not want my daughter to repeat the same mistakes, so I decided to complete my GED. Through the support of my mother, I was able to go to college. Today, I find attending school to be a lot more challenging than it was when I attended high school. I had no stresses, no worries back then. If I knew what I now know about getting an education, I would not have dropped out in the first place. The advice I would have given myself was to listen to my parents, work hard, and never give up on your goals.
