Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott Top Questions

I would tell myself to brace myself for the difficulty of the classes ahead. I would also tell myself to stick to my major even though it will gewt tough and discouraging and to just look ahead to the goal for motivation.

I use my life and any opportunity as a great testemony in anyhow. It is a blessing and a great decision when you stay in school and picture or frame your future. Education can go way behond what you expected in life because there is so much you can doand help other friends,classmates to change their life. Be a mentor,a councelor for everyone on your way,and i am sure the nature or the future will not keep it as simple..Your kids,your generation can benefit from a good decision you take today.

School work is the most important thing. Always get help even if you are the slightest bit confused. Distance is not worth it. And enjoy yourself. Life can be too short.

When you get to college, become the person you want to be. No one knows who you are or what you're about. If there is something about yourself that you want changed, now is the time. Become outgoing; be open to new friends and new ideas. You are about to enter a whole new climate of learning and exploration. It is an entirely different climate than high school. Some people mature and some people never change. You will have some people shock you with their indecency, but don't let it blind you to others' compassion and love. Ignore the unnecessary evil, help those in need, and be the one to make any necessary change happen. Be a leader when it counts and a carefully listening follower the other times; admitting that you do not and will not ever know it all.

Be open; continually search for what you love. Be open to change your major, but don't be too quick to either. Never be afraid to dream big. Persevere through stuff that you might not like in the short term but will get you there in the long run. Make friends; take risks. School's not everything; live out the college experience! Yes, you must study, but give yourself breaks sometimes; go cliff-jumping! Don't forget everything your parents taught you growing up; continue to ask them for help, but not too much. Most importantly, never stop dreaming!

Well, I actually chose to go to school a year early, so if I could go back to when I was deciding to attend college, there is one major detail I'd note. I would have to tell myself that visiting campuses is paramount. It's important to get out there and see what different schools are like, and if it's something you can handle. I remember visiting a state school and being overwhelmed by the number of people. Between classes, you couldn't walk on the sidewalks. Needless to say, I decided a smaller school or at least one with a small-school feel would be better. I think I should have visited more schools than I did. When visiting a campus, look at the surrounding areas and town/city. I didn't know how small Prescott really is, and now I wouldn't mind somewhere that had more atmosphere that catered to an active, socially diverse, college lifestyle. I do like the outdoors, so my choice for this part of Arizona was actually a great one.

I would tell my senior self to study more and be prepaired for long nights and tough classes. I would teach myself how to study better, and develop interview and social skills. I would also tell myself that friends aren't everything. The people you meet in high school aren't going to be there forever, and the people who don't realize that early on, never catch on in the first place. I would also tell myself to develop on my writing skills. Its a very important quality.

I would advise myself to be more open-minded about my career path and to take other college students' advice to heart. Had I taken advantage of my dad's interest in aviation, I would be much further along by now.

I would tell myself that you are making a good choice. Don’t lose focus on the important things, but it is alright to stop and enjoy the pleasures of everyday life and not get distracted. Let go of the ambitions that are complicated, because anything that is complicated with make your life exactly that with very little payoff.

I would tell myself that i know it sounds cliche, but do not slack off on homework. It will bite you, and it will catch up to you a lot faster than in high school. I would say that it is perfectly acceptable to take a break from school in case of a family emergency, and not to worry about money or keeping scholarships in that case. Finally, I would tell myself to not be surprised that I continue to keep contact with my friend Lindsey. (I would not, however, tell myself that I would marry Lindsey in July 2011!)
