Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach Top Questions

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would say that it is very important to get face time with your professors. They have office hours for a reason, and if you're having trouble or just need to talk through a problem related to schoolwork, you should go to them. It is also important to open yourself up and make new friends. Two heads are better than one when studying for an exam, and outside of class you need social interaction and a release from the stess that comes with pursuing educational endeavors at the college level.

First and foremost, I would tell myself not to assume that college will be like high school. I was truly shocked at the difficulty level of the classes when I first entered and did not pay attention to the fact that my grades were slipping. Even with that being said, I would say the biggest piece of advice I would give to myself is not jump into a specific major right when you enter as a freshman in college. Now, being a junior that has changed my major several times and even transferred universities, I wish I had known to take the first semester or two getting basic requirements under my belt and sampling courses that aligned with my interests. It would also help to talk to a professional who works in the industry you're interested in to get a legitimate idea of the environment and type of job you will have. I dived right into engineering classes, which is not what I ended up doing now. Even though I have found the school and degree that suits my interest, it was a long, tough road and that advice would have saved me time, emotions, stress and money.

If I had the knowledge I had now about college I would go back and let myself know that it is a huge transition and one that needs to be taken seriously. High School is completely different compared to college, you have so much free time that you need to use wisey and not abuse it. In order to succeed in college you need to find your own way and ensure that you put school in front of everything else.

If I knew what was going to happen to me this year as a freshman in college, I would have better prepared myself for the college workload. Coming in to college, I assumed that the workload wouln't be too stressful and there would be plenty of time to complete assignments. And because of that, time management is very important. It is important to complete the assignments as soon as you can, so that if there is any question, one can have time to ask the professor for help. Also, one must study for the tests as if they were your final exam. Because one test grade can sink your overall grade, and sometimes it can be difficult to bring that grade back up. So, with that being said, study as hard as you can and you will do well.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a highschool senior again and give myself advice about the upcoming college "experience," I would tell myself know exactly what college i want to go to, what I would want to when I get there, and to try harder to look for scholarships, loans and grants to help pay for college. I spent too much time trying to go to a college where all my friends were gonna go to and not enough time focusing on what i want to do. therefore, I missed many scholarship deadlines, ended up going to two colleges i didn't truely enjoy and now that im two years from graduation, Im finally going to the college of my dreams and im going to have to spend and find even more money to pay for it. Now im probably going to be $200,000 dollars in debt after I graduate all because of poor planning.

Fortunately, liberation inevitably knocks at all doors at least once in life. It is one the more generous gifts the earth offers. Some experience this immense joy when acquiring their first car, others endure this on their eighteenth birthday, but the select few (like myself) collide with this upon entering college. When first entering college I thought, “wow this is truly wondrous” simply because it undoubtedly was. For the first time in my life I was granted the space to undergo proper introspections. In addition, a diverse array of people were practically laid before me, offering various remnants of unfamiliar cultural information. Merely, being immersed within college for the sort time I have has broaden my mind; at various moments I even feel a overwhelming joy engulf me, demanding more the world’s treasures. This college deriving joy has been a wonderful aid in my life. In correlation, initially, I entered college (in some ways) vicariously living through the stories of my brothers success in biology, but with time I escaped that and found my true passion, psychology. In short, college has presented the quintessential components of success to me: great friends, innovative skills, and happiness.

Looking back and reflecting, I realize how fortunate I was to make the decision to attend college and invest in myself and my future. College was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. It enabled me to continue to pursue my dreams. Although I had to take out student loans to further my education, every penny was well spent! My philosophy is that if you aren't willing to invest in yourself, why should anyone else be willing to invest in you? Every since kindergarten I have always wanted to be an Astronaut. This was always my dream and it still is! Because I stuck with it, despite all the challenges and obstacles, I was able to attend college and begin working as a Rocket Scientist right after graduation. I LOVE my job and get paid to do my hobby! Some people may think you have to be lucky, but I view luck as when skill meets opportunity. College prepares you with the skills you need to create and realize those opportunities! I participate in lots of education outreach activities and students are always shocked to find out that I'm still taking additional college classes.

I am a 48 year old woman who has settled for adverage jobs but no more. I am started Daymar college in Owensboro Kentucky, January 11 2011. I had Orintation on the 6th of january, we toured the campus. It is a small college and I feel I will get alot out of the college because it is small. There is only about 400 students at this college and to me that leave a lot of room for alot of one on one time with the instructor. The staff was very friendly and i had only been to the college twice before enrolling and 3 people in the main office area knew my name already. Knowing that they are going to help in anyway they can, to get my associate in accounting and the one on one that is available to me at Daymar college. I am very excited to attend this college.
