Brenda
If I could go back in time and talk with myself when I was a high school senior, I would try to make the following points. I would say, "Brenda, an education is one if the best way to pull yourself up by your boot straps and make a positive difference in your life. It helps you to follow your dreams and go places you would never think you could in life. An education will help prepare you to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities that may come your way." I would talk to her about how I now know how important it is to complete homework assignments; and, how I should have listened when told to do my homework. I would say, "Brenda, I know it is tempting to saty to your parents that you do not have homework because this is what I did. The result of doing this is that I cheated myself out of a complete education." I would mention that I would have pursued my love of the violin. I would tell Brenda that an education is something of value that no one can take away.

What advice would I give myself as a high school senior knowing what I know now
Becky Fitzgerald please read, and follow.
Your eighteen years old, listen up, here is advice from the future you that has already lived through your joys, tears, and mistakes. I also know the person you have become and the person you have always long to be.
High school is very important for laying the foundation of your life. It is also the most important. Don’t worry about popularity or young love. Popularity is not important at all in the real world. To find true love takes years of experiences, to even figure out who you are and what you want and need out of a person. For now concentrate on education.
Education is the most important, study hard; learn as much as you can. Take as many classes and learn at least one other language. Challenge yourself everyday. This will help you set up the future you want, love, kids, finacial security and love.
Also slow down. Enjoy each day to its fullest. When it comes to your love, kids, and family, make every minute count.

“HEY DOUG YO”
That’s right it’s you from the future. And no this is not a dream.
I’m here to give you some help that will better your future.
First thing I must tell you, is that you are not alone. God is and will be there,
for you and with you every step of the way in your life.
So stand firm and believe in yourself. You can really make your dreams
come true. Second thing you should know is that you don’t need your so
called friends. They just want to use you for what God has blessed you with.
Look passed that and focus on our DREAMS. You do have what it takes to make it big in the future.
Take those classes they say you’re not smart enough to take. YOU ARE SMARTER than what they
say you are. Take those math classes and those English classes. Wait to party. And yes rap does take over the world in the future.
It’s in everything we do in the future. So stay strong son.
YOU AND ONLY YOU.

What advice would I give myself as a high school senior knowing what I know now?
If I had known in high school what I know now my life would be totally different. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself to work as I could to get into a good school because there is no guaranteed stability in the job economy in the future. I would tell myself to productive as I could be in filling out college applications. I would tell myself to be punctual in meeting deadlines for assignments and to always study before taking tests. Taking good notes and being more organized is another thing I would tell myself to start doing. This will increase my chances of getting the best score possible on tests. Having good time management skills would benefit you as well. Having better social skills will help your transition from high school to college. Networking friends will help you scholastically and in the job economy. Finally, I would advise myself to always stay focused and never stop setting goals for myself. Without goals there can be no progression.

Danielle,
Life comes with many in and outs. A lot of situations, we try to figure out “Why me?” Other ones we can take and be happy we went through them. It’s all up to you how you handle them and the lessons you learn.
You are in high school which brings about a lot of temptations. You want to hang out with your friends and skirt your responsibilities. Having that attitude isn’t going to assist you in reaching those goals. You are actually hurting yourself, stagnating the process that ends in greatness. Take your time and move slowly.
Once you walk across that stage to greatness, you enter a new world filled with even bigger temptations and road blocks. Will you take the provided detour of common sense or will you run into that block and crash your dreams for the future? The choice is yours alone.
College requires a lot of attention and a lot of preparation. You can handle it. You are a smart girl with a lot to offer the world as well as yourself. I know you can make it. Words of advice: Don’t give up. Don’t give in.
Sincerely,
You

The advice that I would’ve given myself is not to wait to further my education. I should’ve gone to college/school with accreditation straight out of high school due to the rising cost to get a good education, and because of the downfall to the economy. I would’ve advised myself to go and get the education that I need to find a good job with stability and to be offered better opportunities in the job market. I would also advise myself not to go get a job and get comfortable with that job, and forget about what you say you were going to do and suppose to do.
If I could go back in time as a high school senior I would have went to college and received a degree, and later returned to college for a higher degree. I would tell myself that without a college degree or some sort of schooling that there are really no good opportunities being offered in this economy today. I would’ve advised myself that the transaction from high school to college would be the best choice because your brain is young, smart and still fresh out of high school.

If I could give my high school self advice i would say to myself to study hard the first time around and not take for granted the time and effort it takes to get good grades and achieve goals. Moreover, I would tell myself to try everything even if I did not suceed, I was brave to have attempted so therefore I should take a chance with every opportunity I am given and see where it leads me in life. As stubborn as I am now, I would also tell my high school self to ask for help when it is needed and never turn my cheek to someone who only wants to help me because a second offer of help may not ever come. Lastly, I would tell myself to not be afraid of the future, because I will be successful whatever path I take and that I will be happy. Leap with faith and do not be afraid of the consequences Stephanye because you can achieve all of your goals one step at a time and you will have all of the support and love that you need to be successful in your educational goals and in life.

I would tell myself to enroll in all the duel credit courses I could. Doing so would have allowed me to acculuate alot more college credits then I did. It would have put my ahead. I would also tell myself to take the time to research colleges outside the midwest and spend more time looking at the scholarships they have to offer. The lack of taking the time to do this would make it difficult to pay for the classes I need. I would tell myself to apply to every scholarship and Grant I come across because every bit helps and without help I won't be able to finish school.

No matter how hard it is dont give up, dont ever think you cant do something. Its people thats not always going to agree with some of the things you do or say, then on the other hand you have people that want to see you make it or become successful in life. yes college is different from high school. In high school your teacher probably gave out alot of handouts,and all you had to do was study from it, not college,some days you'll have to listen and take notes or just pay attention.
Staying focus is the most important thing. everybody has their own way of learning for example you could b a visual learner.I'm a person that gets distracted easily so sometimes im in class and the teacher having a discussion and my mind wonders off. I'll take a deep breathe and say ok LaShawn get back on tract and if you can catch the problem before its too late then do that, its twice as hard trying to get back on tract.Also when your staudying make flash cards, highlight, and look over it as many times.

The advice i will give myself is that make sure i keep my grades up because college is a different atmosphere than high school. i would make sure my tuition is paid for. another advice i would give myself is that i would not party to much but will socialize when i have free time. making sure i would becoming successful at what i want to be in life. Another advice i would give myself is to try to make new friends while im in college. try to get in more activities while im in college and staying positive. always have courage and believe in yourself. be prepare for hard teachers in college because there different than high school teachers. Another advice that I would give myself is that always have your own income because that would make it less for parents to help too support u while u in college.always have a positive attitude at what u do while in college.
