Like I said before, college is different. Do not get caught up in the "I'm grown and on my own" hype. though it is true you need to keep focus and make sure you go forward with your dreams and keep those that support you and move aside the people that doubt your ability. There is nothing you can't do a 4.0 is possible you just have to work hard and stay focused. You will be the best you can be, you'rre a force to be reconed with and you have a bright future a head of you. Live your life, and discover your dreams.

Advice is good for the soul. I wish I knew what I found out in college. The advice I would give myself as a senior, would be:
1) Study as hard as you can, no matter what just because we graduated honors doesn’t mean you should stop trying. Make sure your head is in the right place with helping people sometimes they can take advantage of your niceness.
2) Although you might go through some hardships, whether at home or school; you need to push through. Every single thing you do comes back to you.
3) When you graduate Dionna and experience summer, do not spend your money on candy. (That is true) Save every dime for college, because even though financial aid might help; feeding is just as important.
4) Stay true to yourself. You can only love and be yourself first. The friends you make will be with you forever. CHOOSE WISELY!
5) Always pray! The more your closer to God, the better your life and worries will be and not.
6) Give back to the community, and help those in need. The feeling is magnificent.
7) You have good ideas; use them wisely. Believe in yourself.

If I could go back in time I would not have took the track offer I have now. My main focus coming to college should have been my grades and track takes a lot of time and energy away from studying. I should of took more time searching for schools instead of taking the easy way out and just choosing wherever. I did not know very much about Huston Tillotson before I came here and that is because I didn't take the time to look up information. I'm not sad with my decision it's just there was stuff that I needed to know before making my decision but everything happens for a reason. I am very blessed just to be in college because not everyone has this opportunity so I will make the best of it.

As a a girl just graduating high school is a very big opportunity. Knowing that there is some colleges out there that will help achieve my goals in life, and will advance myslef in to the carreer you will want. Telling myself everyday you can relax when the time comes, but to go foward with college; college will give me a bigger opportunity to work in the feild that I want. The medical field is where I want to plant myself. Going to college will help me with the learning that I will need to get through the medical feild. In my family being the first person to graduate, going on to college is an accomplishment. Having a diploma is a very exciting feeling, I tell myself you have done it; you completed one of your goals, and now to go on; continue with your other goals you have set for yourself. You can do it; you proved to everyone, and yourself that you have a good chance of being placed in the carreer you want don't give up now, be strong. Just believe in yourself don't get distracted by anything; believe in yourself and there is hope.

I would tell myself or any high school senior is choosing a university is a very important decision. When choosing a university choose one that you are going to be the most beneficial from. Another thing that I would consider is that the college life is full of freedom ,but the key is to take advantage of having this freedom. Balance your time, take advantage of your sources, and most of all have fun , but do it responsibly. If a high schol senior have the knowledge of these things and stick to it their colloge experience will be wonderful. When you tackle college with these tools it reduces stress and it makes life more enjoyable. Also, visit your professors at their office hours make your face known because this shows that you are a student of determination and about buisness. This is one of the most exciting times a persons life , enjoy it and make the best of it!!!!!

Hello younger self! Please spend more time learning good study habits. Learn how to prioritize your life. These things will help you in the future. Don't worry about growing up so fast, time goes by quickly. Those friends that you think are so important, you will barely remember their faces in the years ahead. So buckle down and get to work! Life really does go by quickly. Hang on it's an awesome ride.

I would tell myself to do more research about any university that I would be interested in. I would also tell myself to get things done ASAP, and do not procrastiniate. Being the first generation college student, I would give myself that joy to ride on, which will bring a wave of determination in the middle of hard times. As funny as it would seem, I would also tell myself to be ready to deal with a crazy roommate.

BE PREPARED!!! DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!! Enjoy it!
