Greenville College Top Questions

I would tell myself to do better on the ACT and make sure to work harder in my dual credit courses that were offered in high school. I would tell myself to quit stressing out about taking the ACT and get a 22 on it.

Darryl in order to reach those dream that are confined within your head and seemingly UN reachable, you must take small steps and grow to understand the journey and task that are set before you.

Those small steps may be completing all homework and turning it in on time or sleeping when given the opportunity. The primary reason for obesity is consumption of valuable time on invaluable things. Whether that is looking at girls on the Instagram or watching television. If you’re supposed to be preparing for tomorrow don’t waste today.

Remember that time you were afraid? You had just entered high school, and the alumni told you about how fast time would go by? You feared what the outside would feel like; you wanted a vision, but it just wasn’t clear yet. Remember when you met her? A nervous, blue-eyed boy walked up to say hello. Still afraid but willing to let bravery make a mistake just this once. Remember that time you cried yourself to sleep? When the threat of losing someone close refused to surrender, but you pressed on though terrified? I hope you’ll notice the pattern. It all boils down to one thing: courage. Sometimes this bravado comes in surges. Other times it must be planted, watered, and watched day and night until the seasons change. Then, when harvest comes, you’re prepared to face the winter storms. Let me tell you something friend: winter is coming. If you work the field, you’ll be ready.

Definitely become a Christian and focus on Jesus Christ instead of the vanities of this world.

During my time in high school, I was very nervous about what I had no knowledge of. To be honest, that still scares me, but I know now, that if I take the time and consideration needed to complete the process of applying for college, scholarships, or buying a car, I will be stronger and more decisive for the next decision. While in high school, I also needed the dose of reality, which at that point, all teenagers need. Fortunately, when I was forced from my home, and was moved to the Greenville College campus I recieved the message that life is about our choices, if we cannot face the music and make a choice, then the one made for us is not what we want or believe we deserve. I would honestly, sit myself down and say "Corey, life is going to hit you, and it will hit hard, but you can't give up hope. Believe in your self and your higher power, and know that your friends and family will always be one call away, having been in your position and wishing you all the luck in the world. Do NOT be afraid to ask for help."

College may seem like a huge barrier to break right now, but you're going to love it. It's all about taking one step at a time and making the most of every situation. Greatness is defined by how you pick yourself up after a failure. It's defined by the habits you work to develop now. All of those cheesy speeches you heard at graduation about "your life about to begin" were true. They were true because even though you're going to face numerous discomforts, that's where it all begins: at the end of your comfort zone.

Looking back at myself, as a high school senior the best advise I would give myself is to focus and make goals for attaining a higher education in the shortest amount of time. The best advise, I could have given myself is to focus on grades and to put my goals first. I would also say that having a great relationship with my professors and students that were driven would be a huge asset.

If I could travel back in time to when I was a high school senior, the start of my college years would have been ten times better than now. My first advice I would give myself would be to take courses in high school that would give me college credits, because you would be slightly ahead of the game and you would be on a good track to graduate faster. The second thing i would tell myself is to be more prepared and focus for the ACT and to take it more serious because if I would have done better I could have had more scholarships for college. Also I would have given myself advice to be in more difficult classes than before, such as being in honor classes. This would have ready me a little more for college class situations. Being in more school associated clubs would have helped me with my resume and showing the college I attended today that I am more active with my high school which could make any student look better to his intended college. Finally, being more prepared physically and mentally for my last semester in high school could have helped me tremendously.

I would tell myself to study a lot harder instead of trying to have a good senior year and not worry about what others say about you because college is so much better. I have made more meaningful friends here than I had in high school, so I would tell myself to not worry, and just study hard. The transition was easy. Enjoy being home every day, because now I miss home more than anything.

If I could give advice to myself a high school senior, I'd tell myself to learn how to study better. It isn't ok just to look over the chapter the week before the test. You should be reviewing every night to make sure you really know the material. I'd also tell myself to be more outgoing. Even if you commute to school, you can have friends. It's a lonely thing to be the only college student you know. It'd help if you had some friends in your classes who could relate to everything you have on your plate. I'd remind myself to have more fun. College is a unique time, and the real world is waiting after you graduate. Enjoy the fact that you are surrounded by people your age and can really have fun. Don't spend every moment on schoolwork if you can help it. Make time to relieve stress. However, work hard. It isn't high school anymore. You are working for yourself not some state standard. This is your future. Take hold of it! You aren't paying thousands of dollars for nothing. Follow your dreams and work hard!
