You had a 3.2 as a high school seior. From your freshman to your junior year you made outstanding grades. Don't fool around your senior yar. I know you love the thought of this being your last year of high school but you have to finish strong. Don't show up to class just to talk and not do any work. Continue to work hard to the end because good grades and a good gpa, will give you a better oppurtunity for a lot of scholarships for college because loans can be a serious depression.

If I could go back and talk to my high school self I would give my self advice about foorming good study habits. In high school I never studied and I still did above average, But when i got to college it was a whole other ball game. In college studying is absolutely necessary in order to pass the classes. Some other advice I would give myself would be to learn to be more responsible when it coems to getting up and going to class. In college its very easy to just lay in bed and not go to class, unlike high school where you have someone demanding you to go to class. Lastly I would warn myself about the different atmosphere that comes with college. I would tell myself to be more prepared to be treated like an adult.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school student, I would have told myself to take more AP courses. That way I would be better equipped to deal with college life and the stress that comes along with it. Currently I’m doing pretty well but I have to give credit to my two AP professors who took it upon themselves to educate me and push me to reach new heights. Without their help and guidance I don't know if I would be as comfortable with the professors I have today if it wasn't for both my AP English Comp and AP Literature teacher’s high expectations. In fact, compared to my college professors those AP courses were murder. So again, if I had the ability to travel back in time to meet my highs school self, I would have convinced myself to take more challenging AP courses because in the long run I will benefit from the experience.

I would definately tell mself to work harder to get better grades. Now that i am in college i can see that grades are what keeps a great GPA, which brings in scholarships. If companies see that my GPA is low, they wouldautomatically assume that i am not a hard working student. Because of that i wouldn't get a scholarship because they will fear that the money will be wasted on someone who isn't goint to use it the way they should. Having better grades now pays off with scholarships and even internships. Even tough a GPA is low, it doesn't always neccessarly mean that a person is not hard smart, they may just be slacking and not working like they are suppose to. That is exactly what i was doing in high school. Now i know that working hard will definately pay off in the future.

I would tell myself to be careful who you pick as your friends and never to go out at night alone. Stay focus in the books. Yes partying is fun, but getting good grades is more rewarding. You don't have to be popular because when you graduate, your job not going to look to see if you was popular they going to look at your grades. Also, never take the easy way out.Don't worry about being in a relationship, some guys in college just want to party right now. Keep a smile on your face, and stay active. Never change for anyone. Learn how to budget your money, don't shop a lot. When great opportunity's come don't be scared to take them. If the opportunity is going to better your life and career go head don't hold back. Stay away from the negative and stay with the postive. Also not let nobody take your smile away.

If I had the opportunity to go back in to talk to myself, as a high school student, I would warn myself of the culture shock that I would experience. I would advise myself about work and school balance, procrastinating with work, and the many different influences’. When in high school it seem easy to balance work and school; however, in college it is not as simple to balance the two, because it takes more daily planning to allow everything to equal out. During high school, I did my share of procrastinating in getting my papers and projects done, but in college I have to get everything completed well before it is due, because waiting until the last minute will not result in the best grade. If I were able to step back into time, I would advise myself about the many different influences that lurk around the campus, both good and bad, and of how I could tell the difference. If I had more prior knowledge about college life my transition, from high school to college, could have been easier.

If I could go back in time to when I was in high school, I would have listened to my parents when they told me to take things seriously. I would have put forth a lot more effort when it came to my school work because after I graduated I could have been a whole lot further with my education. When i graduated from high school instead of taking the route of working, I would have went straight to college instead of waiting. My parents told me that it was going to be a lot harder trying to get back into the swing of things but i was very persistant about taking a break. I got a great job working for the state but I realized that I wanted so much more out of life and by working that job I wasnt reaching my highest potiental. So I knew that i wanted to work in the medical field but just wasnt sure exactly what I wanted to do. So I did a little research and decided on Radiology. I just wish I would have done a little more research as far as schools because the short mods arent enough.
