Keiser University-Ft Lauderdale Top Questions

I would tell myself to slow down. I would tell myself that money is not everything and to enjoy school and concentrate more on my education than making money and working. I would tell myself that I know that I can complete the task at hand if I continue to work hard and stay focused. I would also tell myself to trust what I am feeling inside and to follow my heart.

The advice that i would give myself is to go off to colllege away from home. I feel that had I would have went off to school I would have grown more independent as a woman and I would be graduating from college. I am now picking back up in my college career as a single mom, where I left off in 2007.

If I had the chance to go back in time and warn myself of the struggles that I went through to try and get enrolled into college, I'd start by advising myself to start working on getting both scholarships and grants, because student loans will bog me down. I'd tell myself to leave Traviss Vo-Tech alone and apply at Keiser University. Don't worry about nursing and that Radiology is the way to go. Don't give up or slack on your classes half way through because I can do although some of the courses are tough. Give it your all and you'll do great. Algebra will come to you with the right teacher and teaching techniques. Keep your head up and don't let people trip you up on your journey through college life and relax because everything works out in the end.

If i could go back in time and talk myself as a high school senior knowing i know what i know now about college life and making the tansition,the only advice i would give myself is don't worry about boys focuss in school and make better grades.

Well, I'm a thirty one year old, married, mother of two, trying to get an education. So if I could go back in time and tell myself as a senior in high school some advice it would probably be to; not worry about the next greatest party, get amazing grades in all my classes so you can get scholarship opportunities, and go to college right after high school. It's extremely hard to juggle work, going to school, and maintaining a household with two small children, but I guess I'm living proof that it can and will be done, I just need a little assistance with the scholarship side of things... so hopefully this can be my first one. Thank you for your consideration, Jenifer Todd

Ooh.... the things I could have known! It has been over ten years since I have graduated from high school. I am now a 28 year old single mother of a beautiful two year old daughter. Last year I was left without a job and relying on unemployment; I knew I had to make a change, not only for myself, but for my daughter. If I could go back in time to the year 1999, I would definitely sit myself down and explain the benefits of taking the road to college. I love myself and my family, and I deserve better than struggling to survive everyday, and living with the help of state assistance, and not being able to afford to put my toddler in dance class. I know I deserve better and nobody can do anything about it, but me. I would be sure to let myself know that "I" am the only one who can stand up and make a change for the better. "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain" (Unknown).

I f I could go back to the year 1996, I would talk to a young, excited and impatient young woman. I would tell her to slow down and take it all in. I would tell her that her dreams of traveling the world will come true soon enough. I would make sure that she understands the importance of seeking out the help of those put in place to ensure her success. I would tell her that important things like boys,shopping and the mall will be mere distractions at the age of thirty. Most adamently,I would make sure that she understood that although college will seem like a roadblock to here path of world conquer,in reality, it is a very neccassary stepping stone to success. A stepping stone that is much easier to overcome at the young age of sixteen than at the age thirty.

The only advice I would give myself as a high schooler would be to take some prep courses and direct my high school career towards my future profession. As a high school student, I pursued what I loved, such as music, dance, and theater. In college, I have not pursued any of those things. I am very career and goal oriented. I wish I would have known in high school to pursue extra curricular activities and classes that were geared towards Criminal Justice rather than take courses that would only end up being a hobby in the future.

I would tell my self that it is going to be hard and that there is not time for much else, but in the end it will be worth it and we will have the career we want. I would also mention that you have to take it seriously as it is our future and our families future, and they depend on us to provide for them in everyway. It will be okay in the end.

I would tell myself as a high school senior to really think about the career I want the whole year and plan for college right after high school. I shouldn't waste my time debating about applying for school loans when my education is priceless, I should just go for it. I would tell myself to consider taking classes online so that I can spend my time more efficiently and still have time for my family and friends. I would tell myself to discuss my college plans with my parents so if they will allow me to live at home or ask me to live on my own I can make those arrangments ahead of high school graduation. I would tell myself to not worry if I can only go to college part-time as any amount of time spent going to school will be worth it in the end. I would tell myself how important it is to think ahead of my future so that I make the most of my twenties to attain early retirement in my forties.
