City College-Fort Lauderdale Top Questions

If I could go back and talk to myself, I would definitely tell myself to take computer classes. I decided to do online college, and it would have been much easier if I knew the basic of computers. I am always on the phone with tech support trying to get simple problems taken care of. Also, I would tell myself to look in to Campus College. I love online college. It is very convenient, but I don't feel like I get as much out of online classes as I do with face to face teaching. On campus you have someone who walks you through examples and you can easily contact with questions. Online you have e-mail, which is hard to get an answer quickly. I would also tell myself that college is something that is hard to stick out, but well worth it. And if possible, take the time to just focus on school. Don't worry about growing up to fast. Now?s the time to learn, we have the rest of our lives to live.

The first thing I would tell myself is not to be a high school drop out. I quit high school when I had about two weeks left of school. Then I finally made the decision to go back and get my GED, so around eleven year's later in 2001, I got my GED. Then around six year's later, in 2006, I decided to go to college and get my associate's. So if I knew then what I know now, I would not have dropped out, I would have just kept going through school, until I was finished with my degree's. I keep telling my kid's, you can be what ever you want to be and you can do what ever you want to do, as long as you put your mind, heart and soul into it. I'm living proof!

I would advise my self to prepare by reading and learning about the MLA and APA formats used for paranthetical documentation citations used in essays. Furthermore, I would say to be more assertive regarding my coursework. I would advise my self to ask more questions prior to examinations, take more specific notes and possibly record the seminars, and to use all available resources to advance and further my education.
