I can see my high school self, sitting across from me with a strange confidence as he holds his head high. He is slightly disgusted as I lit a cigarette. I noticed his distaste, a smile slivers across my face. “Yeah, don’t start this habit. She’s not worth it”. He wonders who she is and I change the subject. “In the next seven years of your life a lot is going to happen. Many good things and just as many bad things are ahead of you; but don’t worry, I will get to that.” I recline back as sweat trembles down his brow. “You have hopes & dreams, you act confident but are scared to death, trust me I remember. Just because things don’t go your way, doesn’t mean it is a bad thing. There are plenty of things that are going to happen that are going to upset you, but that’s a part of life; roll with the punches.” He asks me questions, dying to know what he should be warned about. My smile continues as I reply, “The things I’d warn you about, are the lessons you need to learn the most.”

Knowing what I know now, I would tell myself that it is not a big deal to become a part of the "in" crowd and what they are all doing. There is a reason I am unique and it is quite beautiful. That's the way God made me and I should not have to change to find friends.

Great advice to my high school self, all the drama that happend in high school? Forget about it, you are entering the real world and none of that matters. Think about the bills you are going to have to pay after you graduate and live on your own, the great thing is once you graduate, you will be working on what you loved most, music entertainment industry! Keep your head up, there will be challenges a long the way. Even if leaving your friends and family behind in a different city, state, or country, they will always stick with you forever, it is best to follow your dream and be happy. you can achieve anything, nothing is holding you back. be prepared for the real world, it maye be cruel, but the world can also treat you well if your do your part and do not get inflicted with the wrong crowd. do your research, go the extra mile and look for more things than you need. dont just rely on univeristy knowledge, read articles, watch documentaries and you will be able to do fine in life.

With all you energy and love for people, go into the health profession. Do it now before life happens to you. It will better equip you with knowledge that you can share with others through their journey in life. You will make friends that will last a life time. So don’t be satisfied with this milestone in your life. Use it as a catapult to propel you further into who you can become. Use it as a blessing to reach those who will need you. Believe me, when you look to make a difference in other people’s lives, it will make all the difference in yours. Now get out there and GO. I Love You.

I would have to tell myself to start saving money. I use to believe that I was pretty good at saving money until college came. I also would have to remind myself to get ready for the culture shock that I endured moving from a small town from Georgia to Orlando, Florida. The best thing I could tell myself though would be to get through high school because you will love college life.

save money and go to a community college first and give yourself time to figure out what you really want to do in life

Rebecca, You are about to make a huge transition in your life. Now is the time to really buckle down and stay on top of things. You have no room to slack off. You've cross that bridge and entered in to the world of independence. From here on out, you have to go hard and put in more than what is required, especially if you want to be successful. Be prepared for endless nights of studying, the tears of fustration, and say goodbye to the party life. Embrass this oppurtunity with open arms, you actually have the chance to make a differnce in this world, you have the chance to leave a mark to say "I Was Here". I know it seems scary beacuse it's a whole new world. Remember, you can do it! You've made it this far, so why stop now? As long as you keep God first, stay organize, manage you time, and communicate with you professors. You will be successful. Believe in yourself, know what you are made of. Remember, you're a master piece . At this point, leave your pride, fears and worries. You are cappable of doing something great. Get Ready!

I would advise myself to take time, look at different things, and do the work you need to do to get good grades and get into a college of your choice. Study more and do your homeowrk, thats all you need to do to succeed. Mostly just take your time with things, dont rush make sure you are making the right choices that will benifit you the most in life.

Dear Derek, Congratulations. You were accepted into Full Sail University, your dream school. Make sure as soon as you graduate that you apply for it immediately, instead of taking the few years at the community college. Transitioning into college is rough, believe me. It’s going to cost a lot, so start applying for scholarships EARLY. Get off your butt and start writing some essays, and diving into the deep confines of the internet to find some good ones. You’ll be living on your own, so start saving up and working on independence. Trust me, you will need a decent surplus of money to be able to stand on your own two feet out in the world. You will have food, a car payment, and many books to handle, which will cost quite a bit. Don’t get discouraged and stay strong. You have a goal in life and that is to become the best game developer you can. Just stick to your course and stay on the path, and you will make it. Good luck, -Derek
