The advice I would give myself as a high school senior would be to do what I had planned. Go to school for a career that I would love to do every day. An extra piece of advice I would give myself is that you never know what you will do later in life so make good grades in college (you may go back one day and those grades still count 10years later). When choosing roommates make sure to get roommates that are motivated to go to class and making time to study after class. Your "at home/living environment" makes a big difference in your studies. Sit up front in class. Don't just go to class, sit in the middle and try to focus. Sit up front! Sitting in the front of the class makes you more attentive and keeps you focused on the teacher-cause they can focus on you too, makes class more like a discussion. Go to class every day. Do not skip or take a free day because you can. In my experience you never know what to expect in class, the one day you do not go could be the extra credit day.

As William D. Brown says "Failure is an event, never a person." If i where to have gone back to my senior year and told myself what i knew now i would tell myself to slow down, concintrate and to enjoy myself. Not worry about those around me and how they could effect my life but seperate myself from my home life and prepare to better my future. I would have been smarter with money and wouldn't have trusted people who contiuously let me down, even though it was there job to protect me. I was fourtunate enough to find some friends who had been through a similar sittuation when they where my age to help me get through the end of my senior year and teach me some of the life skills i lacked. If I could tell myself what i know no i would be a better person because of it. from a source unknown "To be Old and Wise, You muse first be Young and Stupid."

I would tell myself that although it is a community college you are choosing, you still need to stay focus. Homework does count and so does attenedance. You may have glided through highschool but college is a whole different level. I would also say that I need to have faith in myself as a person. Telling myself that after the two year community college ends I would like money to be saved. Commit to certain classes and give one-hundred percent effort. Playing a sport while attending school was never supposed to be easy, but to still work hard. To be someone that people can look up to. To show that I am here for something!

I thought highschool was time to take AP classes and studying really hard for the ACT, and it was. But what I also should of focused was other part of high school that I missed out on like joining a sports team, and participating more in my clubs that I was in. There are so much memorries that I have missed. And only if I would of focused more on my scholarships in my junior and senior year of high school. I wouldn't have to worry about working nearly full time at Bestbuy. Working and going to school full time is not fun. If I focused on other things, i wouldn't had to work and could of concentrated on my school work more. If i had the second chance, I would of enjoyed myself more and involve in something fun and worked on scholarships.

if i could go back to my senior year in high school and talk to myself, the advice i would give myself is to keep looking for scholarships and free grants and money from different sources. i would tell myself to never give up even for a second and even though your pregnant and your due date is around graduation that doesnt mean your should give up even if it is for a semester. Education is one of the one things in life that regardless of what anyone says to you can not be taken from you. you can lose your freedom, your life, your love, and even your ability to walk, talk or any of the above. but education is something that you can cherish for the rest of the life and something that can help build you a future that you can be proud of. During my time at scott community college i learned about thing i never even knew of like the Mensas and how barak obama is a mensa. life can be hard but you cant give up, you have to keep going for you and your beautiful son isaiah!
