Dallas Christian College Top Questions

If i could go back, I would converse with my younger self and say, "Have a plan 'B', know that sometimes things don't work out the way you want." In my senior year of high school I had my whole future planned out. My heart was set on the Marines, I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. However as the summer progressed I realized that my dream of serving my country might not be what's best for me. I want to get as much education as I can about Sound Engineering, which pointed me away from the military and towards college. It was at this point that I realized I didn't have a back up plan behind my original military plan. Trying to get into college after I graduated, without a set plan and essentially no money saved up was one of the hardest things I've had to do, but I know this is what I want and what's best for me. So if I could go back, I would tell myself to prepare for more than one thing, because you never know what life will throw at you.

The advice that I would give to myself is to not wait so long. I would tell myself to pursue all of the dreams and goals that I had set for myself because college is not so hard that I would not succeed. It is a lot more work but it will pay off in the long run. I would tell myself to not be affraid of failing and just do the best that I could.
