Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale Top Questions

The advice i would give to a highschool senior is take your time and follow your heart. Make sure the college or university you attend is somewhere that fits your personality and lifestyle. Get to know the faculity because when things get tough they will be your backbone to help you get through. Remember they are all there to help you succeed. Finally have a goal and stay focused be determined life can get tough but with a goal and determination you can easily get right back on track and achieve your dreams.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about college I would tell me how important knowleged is to get by if todays world. I would explain with out the proper tools you learn and obtain in college you'll never suceed in life the way you've always dream.

I would have attended college right after high school and attened a large university instead of a small college.

If I were to go back and recomend a course of action to my high-school-self, I would encourage creating a routine and maintaining a balance between work, school and social life. It can be difficult to create the circumstances and atmosphere that set a person up for success and fulfillment. In order to achieve both happiness and progress in life, one has to practice at being a person first and foremost in all aspects of life. It is by being considerate of one's mind and body, and their needs, that a person creates a platform to interact with the world from. Confidence and ability come from practice and awareness. By making a routine, practicing it, but having the ability to deviate from it, a person is set up to succeed at their endevors and discover new posibilities and opportunities. I guess if I were to says something to my high-school-self it would be, "Stick to your guns. College life is filled with plenty of spur of the moment decisions. First, be comfortable with youself and in yourself. You'll find that the decisions you make will be good ones."

Not having anyone to push me towards the education direction was something that I wish I could have pushed myself to do in high school. My life as senior year was scattered, after graduation i still have not found myself in society. Not knowing if school was my going to help me become successful was a big hassle to overcome. Being a student is not only stressful but amazing; learning is just 100 percent fun. Getting to share the knowledge i have learned in a few hours to people of all ages is just breathtaking. I would have known that college was this cool back then i would have worked harder to get in a college. Knowing that education is the key to success i will share this information to every young person as long as I can.

Attending the university has made me build up my social and team work skills that I did not have prior to attending Keiser. Having the skills to do so now will only benefit my performance after I graduate and have a career in my field. Being able to experience the building blocks of friendships with strangers, who could very well be colleagues in the near future is always rewarding to be in a work enviroment with friends. Training during clinical rotations for the radiologic tech position places me in the shoes of the reality I am trying to reach. Being able to be trained at the some of the best clinics and hospitals in the south Florida region is an experience in itself. The experiences that I've had and still to come at Keiser are extremely valuable because it lays the foundation down of the hard work that needs to be put into my desired field. All the relationships, skill building excersices and training will never be forgotten and will be crossed of my list of goals to achieve.

I have one piece of advice and that is your life doesn't stop at 30. I haven't reached the age of thirty yet however I can remember when I was in highschool how I felt I had to do everything now. That I had to have children and do what I wanted to do before thirty. In highschool I wish I would have known we have all the time in the world. I would tell myself to really research different colleges to attend. I would also have stayed in college that first time. I would also tell myself that once I got into college to experience everything. By this I mean take classes that have nothing to do with your major just to experience it and gain all kinds of knowlege. I would also join differnt groups and particiapte in college activites. Mostly I would tell myself be more outgoing and slow down and take everything in.

I would tell my self to let go and go to an out of state college or somewhere that I would live on or near campus away from home. I would tell myself to take my studies more seriously but to enjoy the college experience. I would tell myself to try new things and try to not ever tell people no. That money doesn't buy happiness and I can afford to take off some time to have fun. Memories of fun, last forever, and are priceless and the $100 I could have made at work instead of enjoying myself would be gone and forgotten within a month.

If I could go back in time and talk to my senior self, the best advice I could give her would be to put yourself first. Being 24 years old I have put myself at the bottom of the list. I kept putting off my education to take care of the needs of everyone around me. The high school senior me was so motivated and goal oriented, what happened? I would tell her that she has good intentions and a big heart, but there is more to life than pleasing others. It is so very important to also think of your own needs. It is not wrong to want the best for yourself and there is nothing wrong with being a little selfish at times. The high school senior me did everything right as of that time. She was brilliant, but she lost sight of her own ambitions. Keep moving forward girl. Don't put yourself on the back burner. Life is full of disappointments and trials, but you are strong and independant. You are just as important as the people around you. Never doubt yourself.

GO TO COLLEGE. Maybe you're tired of school and want to get on with life. You have a jbb that takes care of your needs (you still live at home), maybe you want to get married (It's better to wait), or maybe you just want some time off to travel and see what else is out there. So far at the high school senior level you really have no idea of the curves in the road you will encounter. Maybe "Alll your friends are doing it" or "Only the nerds go to college", or "The cool kids just want to lay back and enjoy life for a while". I quess that all sounds good at the time but it's not reality, especially now. I am an older student and regret not doing this a long time ago. I was lucky enough to get some great jobs, but in this economy and at my age it is difficult to find great jobs. Delay marriage and having babies. Marriages don't always last and you will have to support yourself and your children sometimes with little or no child support. Beat the rush. GO TO COLLEGE NOW
