To try harder in my first years of school. Take the 20 minutes a day and study, jsut review that notes you just got done taking

Well if I had to go back in time and talk about myself as a high school senior. I would speak to myself words of encouragement such as, I am highly intelligent, my future is bright, Iam very motivated , dedicated, and very ambitious .I have always been a underachiever in high school ,I failed at almost most everything I did. I felt so discourage, shame , and embarrass at the level of my academics status compare to my peers. Upon entering college I felt very intimidated about the hold idea about college and it's expecation such as GPA I wonder for a moment how I would measure up to that expecation knowing my past proformance in high school was terrible. Nevertheless I incourage myself that, I was given an another opportunity to improve in every area of my life. I made a decision to look foward and keep the past behind . Self motivation made the transition easy Inspite of my high school years. I kept hope alive by holding on to my dreams and aspriations. The advice I would give to myself is never to give up, regardless of the situation be positive and patience longevity wins in the run.

As a partial International Baccalaureate student during high school, I looked forward to receiving the hard earned class credit in college. Little did I know that the standard level International Baccalaureate classes that I took are not eligible for credit transfers. Even though I benefitted from the knowledge I gained from IB, I wish that I had known that my time would have been better spent on Advanced Placement classes. To work as hard as I did only to not receive any college credit was very disappointing and I wish that I could go back and tell myself to reevaluate my choice of enrolling in partial IB. My senior year could have been focused on getting a better head start on college credit so that I could possibly graduate early and start my career.

Make sure you have your priorities straight and are willing to do good in your studies. Be out going and make lots of friends so you will enjoy your time in college.

If I could go back to my senior year in highschool I would have taken it more seriously. I would have stayed after with my teachers more as well as study\ more. I always blamed it on having no time because of sports and out of school activities but I think I knew back then but it is very clear now that I had more than enough time to do all my work plus more. I was always a C student and I have since listened to my own advice and I am now a B student in college. Seniors in highschool arent supposed to know what they want to do the rest of their lifes but having an idea of what field you would like to pursue sure does help the decisions and actions that we take towards our academics.

I would tell myself not to drop out and just go through the half a year over at pomona. I would tell myself not to give up so easily because you will have more to work and live for in just a short eleven months. I need to work hard and do my best so I can go into the career I want to and don't mess my life up just because it seems like a good idea at the time. High school is almost over and I can get through it. Dropping out and then trying to go back months later and procrastinating is not the best choice I can make for me and my future and now my son. I need to think of what my choices can lead to and how it can hurt me in the long run.

If I could travel back in time and talk to myself when I was a high school senior, my main words of advice would be keep pursuing your dreams and relax. Senior year I doubted my potential as a college freshman, I was nervous and worried I would be alone facing the challenges of college by myself. I never knew how big of a support system I would grow by proving myself in the competitive world called college. By telling myself this, I would have gained the confidence to embark on my college journey more positive, confident, and ready to begin the rest of my life.

If I had the chance to go back and give myself would piece of advice it would be "keep up the good work". Personal I have no need to go back and give myself any advice, if it was not for the things that I did in high school and would not make me the true college person I am today. College is all about having a new experence but, also learning along the way from the good things to the bad.

If I could go back to being a high school senior I would change so much about myself. I would be way more focused in class and more involved in school. I wish I has any of the knowledge I have now back then. I would have started looking for school's much sooner and not had to rush to find a good college. I would have taken more responsibility and worked harder. Also I would have taken my SAT and ACT sooner so I could have retaken them.

I WOULD SAY "SELF THE WORLD IS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS, YOU HAVE TO BE DETERMINED, WILLING, AND READY TO BUCKLE DOWN TO PURSUE THIS DEGREE." GETTING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL GOING STRAIGHT TO COLLEGE IS THE BEST NO TIME TO BE LAZY OR FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOO. ALSO GO WITH YOUR FIRST CHOICE OF SCHOOLING AND NOT WITH ONE THAT WOULD BE CLOSES TO HOME BECAUSE THAT DOESNT ALWAYS SATIFY YOU GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND NOT WHAT OTHERS WANT. SEE URSLEF FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DESIRE AND PASSION FOR NOT BECAUSE IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. I HAVE WAISTED A SEMESTER WITH SOMETHING THAT I KNEW I WASNT PASSIONATE ABOUT I LIKED IT BUT I WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH IT. NOW IM ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR WHAT I WANT AND THAT SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN AN OPTION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
