If I could go back in time to tell my high school senior self advice about college, I would tell myself to never give up. As hard as the work is and to study to never give up. However this is also a challenging question to answer, because if I would not have dropped out of college, I would not have my two beautiful children. If I didn't have children, however, I would tell myself to also make sure that I am well prepared and not to wait until the last minute to do my work. To go to school is just like a job. You have to work for your education. You have to put the time into it because if you don't, you will end up failing classes and end up getting nowhere in life. I would tell myself, "Do you know how our mom and dad live? Paycheck to paycheck? Do you want to walk into a store and say, 'Ok, I need these things, so lets go get them!', or do you want to say, "Ok, I need these things but can only afford twenty dollars. What can I pick from to get?'"

To go to college as soon as I can after graduating and sticking it out, I could have already graduated by now.

I would tell my self not to give up, keep focused on what you want in life. Getting a degree is more important than what you think. I know being on your own is dififcult but if you keep your grades up and attend college, you are one step closer to achieving your goal. You will need to have a degree to succeed in life, so keep working twards your goal.

Apply for a traditional college like Harvard, you're smart enough. You need more drive, don't give up so easily. You deserve to have the best because you are the best. Even when everyone picks on you, just know, they don't mean it, they just feel bad about themselves and are using you as an outlet. Let their words roll off of ou, because some day, they'll feel bad about how they treated you. Never give up hope, cherish every moment possible.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would highlight the importance of two key points. The first point I would highlight is not waiting for years after high school graduation to start college. I feel this is important because waiting is only wasting time that could be spent furthuring your education, which in turn betters your life. The second point I would highlight is the importance of having a good GPA when you graduate high school. I feel this is important because it says a lot about you as a person and as a student. The higher your GPA, the more likely you are to get into the college of your choice.

I would give my self advice about the cost of tuition and how student loans can be extremely expensive.

I would of told myself not to give up the first time and stuck to what I wanted to do for myself in life.

My most needed advice I could of had was that I had the will power to accomplish my goals, and that I didn't need as much support as I thought I did. I would of advised myself that my kids would just motivate me to want to do this more and everything would of turned out just fine

The advice that I would give to myself is to study very hard, and set long and short term goals, stay focused, and motviated.

Going back in time, I would tell myself to stay in school no matter what challenges arise, do my best, ask for help from teachers and focus on the advantages that I can gain by completing high school with a diploma. Without a high school diploma it will always be a struggle in life, from returning to school to getting the career job that one dreams of having.

What i have gotten out of my college experience is how to be on my own and independency. It is Valuable to attend college because after high school you need to see that there is much more out there that the world has to offer than whats at home and localy around you. Its good to experience what else is out there for you.
