Eastfield College Top Questions

Do and be the best in everything! everything little decision you make then will affect you future!

Dear High School Senior, Take your studies seriously and utilize every resource available to succeed later in life. Find every scholarship applicable, apply to every desired college, and stop worrying about your social life right now! Your future is in YOUR hands, and you are personally responsible for it, fretting about anything other than that is a waste of time. You are so valuable and you have so much potential. But just like in physics, potential energy is only relevant when it is put into motion (kinetic energy). Show everyone, including yourself, just what you are capable of! In case you are confused, you are capable of anything you set your mind to. Be sure to not let that one person tell you that becoming a doctor will be too difficult for you. Your passion will carry you through all hardships. Do what is best for you! Love, Your Future Working-To-Be-A-Doctor Self

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school senior self, I would tell her to NOT be afraid of college. I would tell her that she does not need to stay home and attend the Community College and that she needs to experience college the way it is meant to be experienced. I would tell that shy high school senior to open her eyes because there is a whole world out there just waiting to be explored. I would tell her not to take all the time in the world to figure out your major because before she knows it she will be 24 and just figuring it out. I would tell her that her future self regrets not going off to a university and not experiencing being in a sorority, going to college parties, what life is like living in a dorm with a roommate you have never met before or what it is like living away from your parents. The main thing I would want my past self to know is it is okay to be scared but it is also okay to take chances on life because you only live once!

If I could go back I think I would tell myself of the importance of taking AP classes and that I should take a science class my senior year also getting more information of learning how to properly write a research paper. Sure your senior year is suppose to be fun but taking classes that will challenge your mind and help you better prepare for college.

If i could go back, I would tell myself to gear down and work harder. There are alot of smart people out there and unless I try as hard as I can and give everything I have I will not shine past many, which means I will most likely not recieve a scholarship. I would tell myself to join sports teams. I would tell myself to join clubs and teams. I would tell myself to start looking for scholarships now and to start working on essays and what I would say to different schools. I would tell myself to do some deep down thinking and decide what I want my major to be before I try and jump into something only to figure out I dont like it. Most of all I would tell myself, Never quit, Never ever quit.

I would say to take high school seriously, join more school clubs, and to make the best of it. I wouyld try to raise my gpa and get more credits. Also to remember everything every teacher did for us because they actually helped us get trained for college when we thought they where just being mean or unfair.

That i should have done better my freshman and sophomore year, and it would have helped me out alot more

In spite of how worn out you may feel, it does not hold a candle to your future as a busy nurse, mom, and student. Research educational options both financially and various schools. Take the oppertunities available to you now! There will never be a better time to pursue the education you deserve. Life only becomes progressively more complicated. There will be plenty of time for the wife and kids part of life. Be careful about jumping into those decisions which you become committed for life. You have a beautiful future with fabulous children, but the education I am seeking at twenty seven would have been a much shorter process if I had made a couple of minor adjustments. It would have been great to have been a little better prepared, but you need not spend any precious time or energy on regrets. Everything has a time and a season. (Graduating highschool and nursing school at the age of eighteen gives you the advantage. Make use of it!)

As a high school senior, I was immature and continuing education was not an important priority. I failed to excel and participate in high school which left me mentally unprepared for college life. As I struggled with a lack of motivation from family and friends, as well as my parents putting me into financial debt, becoming engaged in college was extremely difficult. Now knowing the importance and rewards of a college education, I would advise myself that the work you put into high school lays the ground work for your future. I would recognize the importance of my GPA and SAT scores as well as class rank with a sense of urgency. Realizing my family was not blessed financially; hard work during my high school years could possibly change my educational situation and help build the path to a better life.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior I would definitely encourage myself to try harder in math class and of course to try to obtain scholarships and go straight into a university. Math has never been a strong point for me, and even though I was taking advance classes in high school I took the option of not taking a calculus class my senior year. Since I was without a math class for a year, I forgot a lot of information and had to take developmental classes in college. Although my experience at Eastfield College has been great, I really wish I would have gone directly into a university. Hearing everyone talk about their different experiences away at school completely outshines mine. There are so many more activities and classes at a university than at my school; I would love to take advatange of having so many programs at my disposal.
