The advice that I would give myself was to pick a major sooner. When I entered college, I was unsure on what I wanted to be. I alway went back and forth between becoming a nurse and a pharmacist. If I decided to become a nurse, I would keep going until I became a Nurse Anesthetist. When I entered college, I decided to try and go for pharmacy instead. I worked in a pharmacy as a tech, and I thought that's what I wanted to be. I knew in my heart I really wanted to become a nurse, but my family was pushing me towrds pharmacy. I didn't want to disappoint them so I was taking all of these classes to become a pharmacist. I was also taking them at a slow pace because I was working full time and going to class part time. I have now decided to follow my dream and become a Nurse Anesthetist. If I were to go back in time, I would tell myself to go for Nursing and to not work full time while I was in school.

Number one: Do not doubt yourself. When I was a senoir on High School I always second guessed my abilities. What I know now is that I can do anything I put my mind to, I just have to put in the work to make it happen. Life is not something that just happens to you. College is tool to help me become who I want to be. I love to learn and will most likely continue some form of education when I graduate. I hope to never lose my eagerness from new information.

I would give myself the advice to do all you can to keep your GPA up and to apply myself more the first years of college. I'd also tell myself to leave behind all my friends from high school that weren't going to college or didn't graduate high school because they aren't going in the same direction of that my life was taking. You don't realize at 18 years old that you have consequences to every choice you make, or that you are an adult so you have to handle things like an adult. Learning what its like to be an adult before you're just thrown into the real world is important because then you can have some idea of what to expect. I'd also tell myself to apply to more scholarships and be more involved in school because looking back on my senior year with regrets is no fun.

Be prepared to study hard and saty on track. Be ready to invest a most your time studying and preparing for tests.It might seems that there isn't much free time but it will be rewarding at the end. Don't give up easy when the "roads" feel tight and the bump get in your way, relax and you can get onto the next step. Fight for what you want and if you fall don't feel bad to ask your teachers and the students there are there for you.There are plenty of resources at schooll to help you succed just keep your strong will.

I would tell myself to start applying for scholarships very early, and to go ahead and start college during the summer instead of the fall. I would also tell myself to start saving money early so that the price for books and other fees for classes do not put you in debt. I would also infrom myself to try to be more involved in campus life, such as clubs and groups.

Earn the highest grades possible. Pay close attention to all courses and assignments. Be sure to review the information daily because you see it again. Participate in extracurricular activites such as national honor society, debate team, etc. Do community service, start researching what college is best for you and your career choice. It is very important to get a high score on your SAT's and ACT's

If I could go back in time and speak to the high school senior me, I wouldn't tell it anything. I am going to this school for a reason, in high school, i was busy with my doctors appointments and preparing for another open heart surgery. By going to this school it gives me the opportunity to have time off when i had my open heart operation.

If i could go back in time and give myself advice, the advice would be to study hard and keep your priorities in order. I would also tell myself to relax and better my life outside of college in order to have enough time to go to school full time and not have to worry about how i am going to aford my classes and books.
