City Colleges of Chicago-Malcolm X College Top Questions

Study, study, study. There are too many distractions that will lead to you not wanting to get your work done. Make sure that you pick a profession that will keep you employed. There will be a huge recession later in life. I would say try to go to school for something in the medical field. Something like Respiratory Therapy. It will be a job that will be demand later on in life. You won't want to get stuck going to school for something that you really did not want to do in the first place. Then get stuck in the same boring place for years. Believe me, you don't want to do that.

The advise i would give myself is to take all the opportunity that are open and walk right through it. Also to not be afraid to get help from any body, because they are also struggling just like you, just not on the same topic you on but with other thing that you now and they don't. And to not be afraid to move on with something just dont stay stuck on something, just ask for help. Also dont think colleges is just like high school because it's not it's a whole new ball game and you cant be messing around to much because you will lose all those opportunity out there.

I owuld tell myself not to make such a big thing about college, do not stress yourself out to much to please other people and to do the best that you can. When you get to college focus on one thing and that is getting through all the classes successfully. It's not that easy being on your own at first, but do not let the little taste of parent-free freedom cloud your judgements and your main focus. Do not try to quickly fit in because people should accept you for who you are and not are you portray yourself to be.
