Gwinnett Technical College Top Questions

Self; Knowing what I know now you should have gone to college and stuck with it. You would be in a better place. If you would have followed the plan you would have finished law school and become a great lawyer. Slow down and take your time because it will go by quickly. There are no regrets but time is of the essence and you can do anything. Finish college and get the education you need in order to have a better more successful life.

I would tell myself that i should take the extra science class even though is wasn't required. I would say take computer hardware engineering first than automotive technology. Other than that i believe i did well graduated with a dual seal and honor roll. I'm happy about the way i finished my senior year in high school.

"Excuse me sir, is your name Justin Duchatellier?" asked the young man. "Who wants to know?" answered the frustrated boy. "I am you in three years, now stop being rude and listen..." "Your near future is being determined by the actions you are making at this moment. First thing first what are your extracurricular activities?" As the younger self attempted to fabricate a lie the older boy interrupted him. "This proves my point. You have few activites outside of work and school, lack motivation, your grades are short of mediocre, and are not people friendly. If you want to succeed in life, listen close." "Start out by volunteering doing something you enjoy! Much help is needed at various locations. Put the game controller down and pick up a book. Nobody wants to work for someone who does not know what they are doing nor employ one. Therefore I suggest you gain work experience in your dream career. Feed your body with healthy foods so your outward image reflects your inner being. Finally, listen more carefully to what your elders have to say. Saying this, I will see you in three years!" Reflecting on this, Justin had something to work for.

I wish I took the time to do more volunteer work and extracurricular activites afterschool. This opens a lot of doors for students not to pursue. I also should've spent more time with a counselor and at the schools career center. I would have made wiser decisions once I graduated.

Well I would tell my self that time wits for no one and before you know it you will be 30 even though that seems like far away. I would say that there is all the time in the world for fun when you are done with school and a good education is like having food to eat , you need it to survive. You must have a plan and a way to acheive it and surround yourself with people who have goals. The feeling of new found independence is great but be careful not to over indulge in partying and freedom as that same freedom can land you living in your parents basement at 30. Be wise, have fun breath, and enjoy every moment even the late night study session, migraines and hard earned C's.

Your education is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Don't waste the opportunity. There are many things you will be tempted to do with your time and money, but none of them will give you the potential for success that an education will. When you step foot on your college campus, determine, right then, that you will finish what you start. Get to know your professors. They are teachers for a reason. They like their subject, they care about students, and they are paid to help you learn. Find other like-minded students who have similar interests, classes, and study habits, and help each other stay focused. Use the campus library, labs, and tutoring options, and don't fall into poor habits of trying to study with the TV on, or the stereo blasting. You really do need to find yourself a quiet place, conducive to learning. And, most important for your success in class, stay caught up with all assignments by being disciplined with your time, setting aside and guarding the necessary study time. Fun is great, and friends are awesome, but if they get in the way of your education, you'll regret it.

If I could go back in time and speak to myself as a high school senior, I would say that going to college is not an optional path. In order to succeed in life, you need a college education and as tired of school as you are during your senior year, the world is harder to navigate than academic life. Do not convince yourself that you will take a year off and go back to college later. It is far more difficult to go back than to continue.

If I was back into high school again and there was someone that was going to give me adivse about college I would want it to be someone that makes me want to go to school. I am not far from getting out of college i mean it has been almost 10 yrs but i can still rememeber how i just wanted to get out and go to college and be on my own. Life outside college is not fun. it is very hard and in todays society if you do not have a college education you better be prepared to either live with mom and da forever or living on the streets poor and no money. Life may seem like its a fun way to live and you have freedom but freedom comes with responsiablities and those are not handed out for free everyone has to be responsible. Making the choice to go to college is the smartest thing any one can make and make sure that you finish before deciding on any other plan in life. Take college all the way it will pay off in the end and life for you and the family will be easier.

I would tell myself to volunteer. Spend time in your community so you can get a feel for what you want to do with your life. It may not be clear to you then, but i guarantee it will later. I would also tell myself to visit colleges and universities! You may think that you like a college, but when you get there it is way different than you assumed.
