I would tell myself to apply for grants and scholarships early and often. I also would stress saving money for school.

Follow your dreams. Don't give up. Always listen to your parents. Follow the rules and the norms what were giving to you as a child so you can become a better person. Keep your head up high. There are going to be tough times. Univiersities are not cheap, are not for free so do not waste time. Study so you can become more knowledgeable. I see your passion, how smart you are, do not waste that because a lot of people will die for the oportunity that you have had. You get to follow your dreams and for that their are risks you got to take. believe in yourself, if you don't, nobody will believe in you. I know it's going to hurt when you say goodbye for your family but do not give up. Not for them, not for you, not for anyone.

I would tell myself to never let anyone tell me what I couldn't do, and not to give up just because things get complicated. All of it would be worth it in the long run.

First, I would tell myself to pay attention in class and get good grades. Second, fill out as many scholarships as possible. Don't procrastinate!! It's the worse possible thing you could do. Instead of going to college out of high school I went in the Amry because I was not ready and my parent's never saved for it. The best advice that I can possibly give to someone or myself is to find as much free college money you can. It's a lot of hard work but it could all possibly pay off in the end.

The advice I would give myself is to stay focused and keep an open mind. In order to be successful you have to make an effort and give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in everything that you do. Nothing is handed to you for free and in today's world; it is especially hard to go anywhere without a degree. Also, start saving up for college earlier than later. It is better to be fully prepared when applying for college then not being prepared at all. Know how to budget yourself and take responsability. Last but not least, never give up. Follow your goals and dreams because life is short and you should make the best of every opportunity that comes your way. Don't take things for granted because you may not receive a second chance.

I would tell myself to work harder. There are so many grants and scholarships that I missed out on because my high school G.P.A. was substantially low. I received my GED at the age of 17. Even though a GED is "acceptable" as a completed education, there are so many more opportunites to grasp hold of with a High School diploma that has an above average G.P.A.
There are so many grants and scholarships available to High School seniors, with a 3.0 GPA or higher; whom have not picked a college, or have picked a college or university which they wish to attend.
I would tell myself to work hard in High School, because it will literally pay off in college. Without college, the chances of making my way up the ladder to success are much more slim. An education is a key to success.

Don't pay for it. Get scholarships or don't go.
Delisa
I would tell myself to work harder and try better so you can get into a good school.

If I could go back in time I will tell myself not to hesitate in making the decision of live in another country to pursue my dream career. I would tell me that instead of letting that fear of an unknown place control me, to use that fear to build courage and fight all the odds to make that dream possible. I would tell myself not to pursue a career in something that I like enough, but not enough to be happy (like I did before). I would also convince myself to be smarter and look for all the financial help to make this happen. And if I have to work a couple of months (or more) before doing this, to do it with the purpose of having enough savings to pay the university, an apartment, and to have enough for living expenses and for future plans. But must importantly, I would make sure to convince me that no matter how hard it would be, no matter the sacrifices, I would convince myself that that decision would be the best of my life.
Hadley
If I was able to go back in time and talk to myself at a younger age I would tell myself not to worry so much about the little things. I am constantly worried about things that I can't control and if I could have changed at a younger age I think that college would be some what easier for me. I would also tell myself that there will always be people that try to stop you from living your dream but never give up because if you want it bad enough you can have whatever you put your mind to.
