Through this discovery of my love for dance and body movement I came to realize that I can help children discover passions that will get them through emotional and physical hardships.

There are so many things that I have learned as a student here on campus at Idaho State University. I have learned that all it takes is attitude. No matter what comes my way or what trials I go through while I'm away from home and making my own decisions, my attitude is what makes all the difference. I have learned that there are so many understanding, caring, and passionate people here at ISU-faculty, students, and staff. I consider my experience here at Idaho State University extremely valuable. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I came here as an 18 year old girl who was nervous to make her own way in the world, and already, 6 months later, I have found who I am. I know where I'm going in life, I know who I want to surround my self with, I know what my goals are, and I owe it all to the people I have met here at ISU.

College has been a great experience to me becuase I've meet the great people. The help thier is great. I think i have improved my since my high school year. While in high school year you are this little child that doesn't really know any thing. But then when you enter college its diffrent experience. I am more active and i actually put a lot of effort in school.

I would tell myself that college is going to be both easier and harder than I expected. I would remind myself that I need to keep studying hard all throughout college (and I would tell myself do not take Chemistry at all costs!). But I would tell myself that college can be a lot of fun if I let it, and that I should allow myself to be more social and make more friends. College isn't just about academics; there are a lot of social activities, too, and while I would never tell myself that I should let my social life overwhelm my academic life, there is a balance to be obtained there that I think I let myself slack off on. I would tell myself that I don't have to worry, I really can do it.

"Be a bum!" is what I would tell myself in high school. I would let myself know that that job wasn't worth missing school for, the traveling was fun, educational in a way-quite the learning experience, but nothing can make up for that time I lost, that I could be so much farther than I am now. The reason I say "be a bum" (using that as a slang term I suppose) is that my parents were willing to support me to get me through college. But in an effort to have more, make more, and make it fast all on my own, I compromised my own schooling. So, to myself, take time, be more attentive, let the parents help. I never thought that I'd be stuck, but that is what I feel like. Note to self, you're still going to make it, just know that if you take this advice you'll like the outcome better.

Everyone has a moment in time they would enjoy going back and revisiting, whether it be to change the past or just to relive it. If I had a chance to go back and tell myself as a high school senior what I know about college and the transition I was about to make, I would be sure to include some great advice. I would let myself know that to succeed I need to stay focused and that the transition really isn?t that bad, so quit worrying about it. I would tell myself that to be who I want to become, I need to stay who I am, work hard, and with a little bit of talent and luck I can be anything I want! I would also tell myself to enjoy and take advantage of every opportunity to lean and discover something new that I come across. Finally I would say that college life is going to be some of the best days in your life, so be sure to not let anything get you down, make friends, and save time for some fun, because it is the best way to succeed!
