Hampton University Top Questions

Ace out senior year. You are capable of actually doing great things. Achieve the weight you want before you start college. The freshmen 15 is brutal. Go to Prince George's Community College for a year and get your grades up. Start as a Biology major with a minor in Music. Apply to all the scholarships you can. Get into Hampton University on Scholarship so that mom and dad won't have to pay a cent and stay out of your big sister's hair.

I would definitely have reminded myself to balance social activities and academics. I should have stayed focused more and maybe I would not have lost my previous scholarship.

The best advice that I could give to my high school self would be "have no fear". I would tell myself to go forward with every confidence that I would be successful beyond my wildest expections and to not let doubt or fear of failure interfere with my plans to make my dreams come true. In regards to making a successful transition, I would tell my high school self to use every resource available to me. The transition from high school to college is much less traumatic if you take advantage of everything that's offered to help you.

The advice I would give myself would be to learn to be open and communicate with other people that are not from my hometown. I also would tell myself attend the pre college program at Hampton because it would be a gateway to getting accustomed to the university and will allow for me to be more prepared for football because I would be at the university working out and practicing with the team. The last advice I would give to myself, which is the most important, would be to search for any and every scholarship that is applicable to me and to not be lazy and apply for them because any type of money is better than no money.

I will never maked the mistake I made six years ago, I will tell my self as I a single mother with 2 girl strugling to provide for them if Iwhen finish high school I take college serious thing wont be that hard now. I will do anything possible, sacrific as much as I breath to make it .

My biology professor told me that it's impossible to give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} for each taken class and if you do, you will eventually be favoring one subject more than the other. Therefore, you should be adequate in all subjects so you can pass all of them, instead of passing that one class and failing all the others. Starting a life in college I was simply terrified of each subject, professor, and peer because I believe I was an inadequate student that would soon fail. This fear led me to avoid communicating with my peers and professors, and becoming very stressful because I was only passing one class. After hearing these words from my professor, I started making the changes by balancing out my classes with study time and I started enjoying myself. I ended the semester passing all my classes and making new acquaintances whom are my friends today. I would go back and tell "senior" self to believe in yourself and have fun. Give your best, but don't stress because you aren't thee top student and, also, to give each class an equal amount of attention, so you don't pass only one, but all of them.

If I could go back and give myself advice as a senior in high school, it would be to study and stay more focused on my school work. This advice would have definitely helped me prepare for college a little better, because I now have to study for tests, and quizzes I have every week in several classes. Without having good studying skills that will make me recieve a bad grade in my classes and there are no make-ups as there is in high school. Now that I am in college I had to learn that the hard way, but it only changed things for the better because now I study and prepare myself for tests so I can get high grades in my classes.

What would I tell myself you ask? I would tell myself to have tougher skin, friends will come and they will go. You can’t change other people, the people you may have thought to be your friends are sometime the ones you have to watch out for the most. Don’t allow the treatment of other people to change or effect who you are as a person. Just because someone did you wrong you can’t walk around holding that hate in your heart. Always be yourself; always forgive because one day you will want someone to forgive you for your actions. I would say work hard now so later in life you won’t have to deal with certain issues. Stay playing basketball and stay in the band and let the pay your way through school. Do whatever you can so you won’t have to take any student loans out. Always remember to be early is to be on time to be on time is to be late and to be late is to fail always be a woman of your word no matter what.

Self, please apply for scholarships. Even though we were blessed with our early Christmas present of a $10,000 scholarship, Hampton cost three times that. Take more time to cherish your friendships because they will never be the same;; people go their seperate ways, that's just life. Try and get a job so you can help mom with cost of books and groceries you will need because late nights breed hunger. Admittedly you need to look at other in-state public schools. The financial burden has taken its toll and you need to seriously take that in. So what if you odn't go to Hampton, they have Master's & PhD programs. IF another school will offer you a full-ride, and they have a good sports management/medicine program, take it. It is unfortunate when you have tasted something so very fufilling, only to have to give it back because you ate with you stomach and not your mind. Be realistic with yourself, this is life and it has no room for you personal wishes and wants, there is only room for your absolute needs. So yes you will be upset, but make the right and realistic choice.

Please don't wait so long to go to college. Start school, even if you don't know what your major should be. Taking classes in all subjects teaches you not only what you did not previously know, but also about things about yourself. School helps you to get to know what you like and opens the door to new interests as well. You have always known that you like to study people, to hear about their problems, and to explore the human mind. Think about that while you reflect on which career path this passion could lead you. Instead of rebelling against your parents and seeking instant gratification through menial jobs, recognize that you won't go far in life without the foundation which a good education provides. Think about these things, but most of all listen to yourself and to who you truly are. Don't deny your passions or talents, but jump feet first into school, even if your are unsure of where to go - I promise, your path will show itself automatically once you get into the course work.
