Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale Top Questions

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to go to school for Occupational Therapy because that is what you wanted the entire time. I would advise myself not to attend an expensive school as to not stress about money factors. I would tell myself to wait until I was ready to choose the career path that suited me, because you won’t be happy doing something that you don’t absolutely love.

Dianna, keep your head up high and never give up on anything, no matter how hard it may seem. Education is extremely important and you should stay focused on what really matters. Sure, friends are nice to have and go out with, but in a few years everyone begins to drift apart. The successful ones are the ones who never gave up and kept pushing the bar. Stop thinking that your friends and boyfriend are what are important. Your educational journey is what will set you apart from others. Keep trying to learn new skills and information, because one day you will have 2 very beautiful children who will one day look up to you and see you as their role model. The career path you choose is what will give your family and your children a stable and promising future. Be the person you would like your children to be. Do not accept failure. You are a bright person, who will one day do great things. Keep believing in yourself. Keep trying to be better than the person you were yesterday.

Ask questions! Don't assume the adultss in your life are just going to take it upon themselves to present you with the knowledge you need to move forward.

I would tell my youngers self to not worry so much about my social life and to focus on my studies. Going back to college later in life is much harder. Take this opportunity while you are young and without other responsibilities to get the best grades you can and work as hard as you can. Later on in life you will have so many distractions and responsiblities. Take your education seriously. One day your kids will ask you about college; you want to be able to tell them that you worked hard and earned a degree. You will want to be able to set a good example for them. You don't want to have to tell them you goofed off and didn't earn a degree. Keep your priorities straight, work hard and have just a little fun.

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school senior self I would tell her to stop letting others tell her what she should do with her life in terms of obtaining a career. When I was a senior I allowed others to control my destiny and tell me what major I should choose and what school I should attend when I wasn't taking the initiative to make my own decisions regarding those things. I was allowing others to dictate my future and it took me a long time to develop the courage to go against the grain and do things my way. I now go to the college that I feel comfortable going and my area of study is something that I'm passionate about so my high school senior self should have had that mindset as well. My advice would give her the bravery to follow her dreams and instincts instead of forcing herself to have the same aspirations or goals as those around her.

Be patient and confident. I think when I was about to approach college, it was overwhelming and I was done with school at that time. Just over it, they say you need a degree to make it in the world. You can make it in the world, but it is rocky and much more hard to live comfortably. I felt after not attending college after highschool, I hit a rut and stuck. Attending college allows you to move forward and move up in a career. New challenges and goals and motivation to honestly make more money. It is hard without that piece of paper. If I had to go back in time and talk to myself, I would say just get it over with. You are already more than half way there just by graduating. Your mind is still in a mode to write proper papers, stay professional, and keep your mind working in the "educational" ora like it has been for the last 12 years. It is hard to retrain your brain. It is already used to school so just finish! That is what I would say to myself.

I would have to convince myself that there was a reason to go to college in the first place. It has taken many years to learn that money is not the first thing you need, what is needed is the ability to go after an idea of what path in life would be fulfilling. Finding hte right avenue in life that brings a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction will eventually bring what you need to get through life. College is a place to explore, and one needs to take the time to explore. The tools to get to where you want to go are there, gettting them off the shelf and using them are the challenge. Go to college with an open mind. Concentrate on obsorbing anything that is appealing. Present yourself with eyes and ears open. Let ideas come to you. Formulation of ideas will happen. Answers amay not be quick, may not be clear, but they will appear.

If I could give myself advice senior of high school, I would say : Darcica, after you graduate you should apply to school where you could live on campus and be far away from the destraction of partying and that bad boyfriend of yours. Don't listen to your current boyfriend that your with that told you not to go off to college, because if you listen to him he will be abusive and controlling and will not allow you to even start school. You could have a boyfriend anytime, but your future is more important. Please listen to me, I' am your future, and I'm currently 26 years old and struggling financially to make it through school, so if you don't want this to happend, please , please, stay focus on bettering your future so by the time your 26, you can have a great career and a stable foundation. Trust me you can do it, you are very smart, I have faith in you.

If I could go back in time and give me an advise about college, I would probably tell to myself to enjoy as many clubs, societies and associations as possible. You never know when opportunities are going to come and the more involved you are in your school, you don't only get more chances to find these amazing opportunities but also you'll find great friendships and it will make your college experience unforgetable. Unfortunately, I was not as involved in college as I was in High School but I know it is not late, I'm willing to do my best and show that I can give more and WANT to participate in as much as possible not only for me but for my parents that have tried to give me everything. The more involved you are in school, the better the chances that you will get the opportunities you need to succeed in anything you want.

If I had the opportunity to advise my teenage self about college, I would need a lot of time to get my point across. My main focus would be to tell myself, not to worry as much and to just trust my heart. Also I would tell my younger self to be glad when contemplating the future because college is something to look forward to. During high school I was constantly debating where I wanted to end up in life while I should have been focused more on my education. Another topic I would stress involves more studying and preparation for school. Furthermore, during high school and college, people (including myself) forget how important it is to set some quiet time aside to look over their school work. If I could have told myself to study more and have more faith in the education system, perhaps I would have done better throughout all my school years.
