J Sargeant Reynolds Community College Top Questions

If I were to go back in time, knowing what I know now, I would have told myself to wait until I had something I was truley passionate about about before attending school. Thats not to say I regret going to school when I did. I meet people who mean the world to me and learned things that I might not have learned if I didn't go to school when I did. At that time, I think I went to school because it seemed like "the thing to do" and not because I truley had a desire to learn, which is the reason why a person should persue education post high school.

Be prepared. Study all the time. Do your homework. Partying will not get you thru school. You on your own and there is no one to help.

If I could go back into time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to be more prepared for college life. Pursuing a engineering at J. Sargeant Reynolds, I wish that I took more summer classes that would credit towards my college profession. However, I wish I could tell myself how well I was doing academically at school. In High School, I always had above average grades, but my self esteem was well below my fellow teammates. I believe if I told myself in high school that I would overcome my fears of failures and adapt to a successful college lifestyle I would have been more disciplined in school in preparing myself for college.
