Change is hard. Plain and simple it's painful. But beauty can still come from pain. I would rather choose to live life as an adventure and treasure every moment I do have than fear the moments that change will bring. Change truly is a part of life. Look at the seasons. As fall turns into winter, snow storms arise and life is gray. But as the frostiness of winter melts away into the freshness of spring, life is made new and hope arises. Often our lives can look like winter in the midst of change. It's all bleak and cold with no warmth on the horizon. But if we are willing to embrace change, and trust that spring will come, we will be able to see the flowers and new growth under the patches of snow. Change doesn't mean giving up your past. It doesn't mean loosing the old. Change means learning to grow, learning to embrace your ambitions, and not being afraid of going after your dreams. If you can see the beauty in change, then you can find the courage to turn passionate ambition into reality.

Well, what makes up the college life? College is not about what school you end up going to or what grades you got. It is about the experiences that you make from it. It does not matter what school you end up attending for college as long as it satisfies you. You are no longer going to get an education for your parents because now the reason is for yourself. The college experience consists of exploring oneself and learning about oneself. It is like taking a journey to explore and learn more about you as you dive yourself into windows of opportunities. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and into different areas of interests since that is what college is all about. Now, go and enjoy your college life!

College is a time of self-awareness and finding out who you are but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a plan coming into it. Most students find a school, have a general idea of what they want to do but in reality no one knows what they want. A word to my senior self, pursue that medical career field you so passionately been yearning for. Even though you have a fulfilling life in a career that you do enjoy daily, you always have that naging feeling that you were meant for something else. It's not so much as a regret but a deep seeded interest that you want to experiment with. You have the oppurtunities now but they are much harder to attain. You are in the right place, right now to find that passion before you are unable to put a foot in the door. However, give it some time. Starting out you have time to enjoy some very interesting electives and soon you'll find what really stirs your interests and I'll be right here waiting for you so we can share it together.

First and foremost, buckle down and focus on your studies! Good grades get you more than just honor role, they open doors for you later be it college or the military. Sports isn't everything, but an education will be with you for all time, remember what's important, pick your goal, and never stop until you reach it!

Do not take anything for granted, always do your best and be prepare to show it to all students and faculty.

The advice that I would give myself as a high school senioris that, "at college it may be a different place to be in, but that doesn't mean that you should spend most of your time alone and lost, their are techers and people thier that can help you get their your troubles. The students and teachers themselves have gone thought exactly what you have gone thought, a lot person trying to find his way though all of his confusion and misunderstand in this new world. Just try to remember one thing above all else your never alone."

I have now been in college since the fall of 2002. Originally I attend UC Irvine, but in the fall of 2005 I dropped out and started attending Cypress College. There were many factors that attributed to my leaving UCI, but the biggest one would have to be my lack of self confidence. If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that I was accepted to this university for a reason, that it was not just a fluke and that I earned my right to be there just as much as everyone else had. I would also give my younger self advice pertaining to life in general. I would tell myself that I do not have to find someone to be my source of happiness, but that I need to be happy before I find that someone. I would also tell myself not to be hesitant and to speak my mind. And finally instead of waiting for good things to happen, make them happen in your life. I could go on and on about what I would tell myself as a high school senior, but these are my 200 words.
