Lee University Top Questions

Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, knowing what I do now about college life and making the transition, I would give myself this advice: " Be careful how you spend your time." It is important to be careful of how you spend your time because it can quickly get away from you. The whole reason you come to college is to learn, not just socialize and hang out all the time. If you spend all your time socializing and hanging out with friends instead of studying and doing homework, you may end up failing the classes you are attending and being expelled from school. Also, you will have wasted all the money that you worked so hard to get through grants, scholarships, and and other means of financial aid. You will also have wasted an amazing learning experience. But if you use your time wisely and learn and do what you are supposed to in studying and going to classes, you will be a successful student and will be glad that you did what you could to see it through.

If I could go back, I would tell myself to apply for as many scholarships as possible. I would tell myself to learn time management, because it's going to be important, especially when I start working on the weekends. I would tell myself that I would need to practice taking notes in short-hand, because that would help during lectures. Most of all, I would tell myself that I would be making the right choice by going to Lee University, the college I currently attend.

Go to school while you are young.

I would go back in time and explain to myself how important it is to carefully pick what classes you will be taking at college so you can get the most of your education. I would also explain to myself the importance of school even at an early age because it will effect your college career. I would give myself some personal advice as well. I would say something like: Take advantage of what school has to offer you. Fulfill and expand on your education whenever possible. It will lead you to be a responsible individual who may reach any goal you desire. I would also say that if you follow the path you are going down, You will continue to achieve maximum potential.

Don't Procrastinate, Stay Focused, Ignore the Ignorant, and alway remember to follow your own lead. A wise man doesn't follow the actions of fools.

Self, Please self, Listen try hard as you can in sports and get all A's by trying hard as you can in every class dont slack off so you can go right to college right after high school. School is more important than you think and just have fun and enjoy every moment you have in high school enjoy being a kid. Don't worry about when other students or anybody else says you can't do anything cause yoou know you can. Also dont worry about what everyone else is doing because they won't be around after high school in this thing called "Life" with you. So stay focus keep playing football but try harder and keep going to the basketball gym after school and concentrate on your homework not girls. Show your teachers, principles and all fellow class mates with more respect and the coaches also. They're job is hard and they only want to see you succeed, so make it easier and let them know they are doing a good job and m,ake them proud by m,aking good grades and showing respect through the hall ways. Be the best example.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senio,r I would tell myself to enjoy living at home with my parents. Throughout college I have realized how much I value my parents' input on my life and that void is very evident while I am at school. In high school I wasted time hanging out with friends when I could have been spending time with my family. My uncle passed away in January of 2011 and since then quality time with my family has become very important to me. I realize now that time spent with family is precious and I should never pass up an opportunity to be with them. I wish I had come to this realization sooner while I still lived at home.

I would tell myself to be brave, and remember everyone else is just as nervous as you. To be myself and if I wasnt sure who that was to be open to what the world had to offer never settle. I would look into my high school pitful eyes and say "You are vaulable, God created you for great things never let anyone tell you any different."

If I could go back and talk to myself as a senior I would definitely tell myself to not give up. Not that I did give up, but I gave up on scholarships. It just seemed so hard to find them or even get them. Then I got to school and realized my school would help me just to come here because they wanted me here. I would also tell myself not to be nervous. I was nervous because I did not know if I would succeed in college. I thought it would be a lot harder. In reality it was not hard. Yes you have the classes that you think are impossible to pass, but I made it through those classes. That was with the help of teachers and tutors. You have many more opportunities for help in school. Last but not least I would have told myself to let go of the old and bring in the new. I came to college with a boyfriend. If you worry about a boy back home it will make it a little harder on your freshmen year. You want to have fun and enjoy your freshmen year.

I come from a single parent home so my biggest concern through high school was how I was going to afford college. If I were able to talk to myself as a high school senior again I would definitely have put more time into finding scholarships. I have had the grades to make it into college but not the money, I knew from an early age I would need financial help. Once things atarted adding up and I saw the bill I had some struggles to find the money. I did get my freshman year paid down enough to where my summer job could cover the rest but these next years will be harder to cover because one of my scholarships was only for this year.
