When you think of your senior year of high school, you think of pep rallies, dances, the prom, and then ,you think of college. Even though teachers try to explain to us that it is extremely important to do well in school and to stay focused, there is always something to distract us. Being a freshman in college, I can look back and see what I should have done. The first thing I would tell myself is to stay focused on getting good grades. Not only because it allows you to have more choices for college, but it also makes you eligible for more scholarships. I would also tell myself to apply for any and all sholarships that I qualified for that I could possibly find. Being in college, you have a lot of new expenses like books, food, laptops, and transportation. Scholarships will definitely offset a lot of these costs. Finally, I would focus on developing effective time management skills. College is all about self discipline. There is no one there to tell you to study, do your homework, or go to class. The responsibility and the challenge to earn success all lie at my feet. I'm ready.

If I could go back?. I would tell myself to work way harder. I would have myself be more focused on what I wanted to do. Also I would have to tell myself to save more money and work a third job because some bad luck is going to come my way. I would tell myself that I need to grow a thicker skin, so that when my parents told me that they both were losing their houses that I could handle it better. I would say don't lose focus on who you are as a person and just do what you need to do to get by. I would also tell myself to learn how to take better notes and organize papers better so that I don't lose them that easily. But all in all I would really just say trust your gut cause most of the time it is right but when it comes to buying things make sure a mechanic checks it out first..

If i knew what i do now in high school i would tell my self to pick up my game. When i say pick up my game i mean i would make sure that i did all of my work in high school so that i could become a better student. i would have never skiped high school because its a bad habbit and something you have to get out of in college.
