Liberty University Top Questions

One of my problems with the transition from Highschool to College is that in Highschool I could get a really good grade without putting much work into what i was doing. I'm really good at testing well and doing well with procrastonation. I wish someone had told me when i was a freshman that the good grades are not worth sacrificing just so that you don't have to do the work. The work is deffinantly worth the trouble.

If I could go back to my senior year of high school I would tell myself to stop procrastinating on homework. I would also tell myself to take some AP classes so I could have figured out my major sooner. There is not much else I would tell myself because I applied for Liberty University my sophomore year of high school, so I did not have the stress on my shoulders that most seniors had.

Going back in time I would tell myself to develope better study habbits. Studying is the key to success in college. I didn't have the best study habits; however, they did get me through high school fine. The study habbits I had in high school, with a little refining, would help me do better in college. I would also tell myself to study harder and try harder on the SAT because it will help me in the long run.

I would love to have the opportunity to talk to my younger-self. The first thing I would tell her is that you are much more than you think. You are a strong young woman and can accomplish whatever you put your mind to. I would stress that a good education is worth all the time and effort required. It would be important to let her know not to let the people around her define her. Although I love my husband I married him when I was to young. I would want her to know that although a relationship can be very fulfilling, it is ok to be alone. Her education can be just as fulfilling as any relationship. I would tell her to not be afraid to move away from home, even though my parents cannot afford an out of state tuition, get out there and apply to colleges, do whatever it takes to get scholarships. There is alot of money out there for a college education it may require extra time and effort but it will be worth it all in the end.

As a senior in high school, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was going to college. However, the doubt crept in when it was time to decide where to go to college and with what money. I spent much of my senior year worrying about these decisions. If I could go back in time, I would tell my senior-self to spend less time worrying (for worry accomplishes nothing) and more time praying. When I finally relinquished ?control? of these decisions and laid them before God, He opened doors, providing exactly enough money through scholarships to fund my first year at Liberty University. He also granted me a peace that transcends all understanding. If I had devoted myself to seeking God?s will for my future sooner, I could have saved myself much time and emotional turmoil. In addition to prayer, I would remind myself to listen to and trust my parents. When my mother found Liberty University online and informed me that it was the perfect school for me, I did not trust her judgment. However, she proved to know me better than I know myself, for Liberty turned out to be my perfect match.

If I could go back in time and give advice to myself about college life i would tell myself that college is insane. There are so many people attending Liberty so don?t worry about fitting in, there are clicks for everyone. Don?t stress about classes the professors are nice and they genuinely care about the education of their students. There are so many different activities here at Liberty you will never be bored; as long as you put your school work first you will be fine. It is kind of a culture shock the first couple of weeks being away from everything you are used to, this isn?t high school anymore so things are bound to be different. Your major concern will be your scholarships, apply for as many scholarships that you can because college is expensive and you can?t concentrate on your school work if you?re worrying about paying for school. If you apply for scholarships you will at least have some peace of mind that you will be able to continue getting your education and you really can make a difference in the world.

As a college freshman, I would tell myself and others multiple things to make the college experience easier. First, I would tell myself to start saving immediately for college. Money is a huge issue in many college students lives. Scholarships are hard to find and loans are extreme debts that I do not look forward to paying when I graduate from college. Second, I would tell myself to work harder to raise my GPA. GPA's are an excellent way to receive great money. At Liberty University, by the scores on your SAT or ACT as well as your GPA score you will receive a certain money in scholarship form; the higher your scores the more money you receive! Next, I would tell myself to take those college courses I was able to take in my high school! The more college credits you have entering college, the less college classes you have to take. All this adds up to a lesser payment because you are in college fewer years. Last, I would tell myself to not be afraid to meet new people. Everyone freshman at college is new; you're not alone! Finally, I would say to just be yourself!

What proclaim to High school students is search yourself with this question: what happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore and then run? Or crust and sugar over like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags lie a heavy load or does it explode? When I look at lady in the mirror I see person who allowed her dream to be deferred. However today the dream that once was deferred is no longer. I believe it's a dream that has no limits, . Always remember this if you believe it you can achieve it!! The struggle is over once you believe dream is attainable! Now friends take the wall of your past down remember The Word of God states: forget those things that are behind me reach for those things that are before me. Once I was a child spoke as a child now that I became a man I put all childish things away. Now dust off the past move into your destiny.

The advice I would give myself as a high school senior is to not focus on the things that are superficial. The things that seem so important in high school are not as important in the real world. I would also say that making a difference in this world is one of the most important things that you could do with your life and to pick a career where you could really impact people's lives for the better. I would tell myself that only a select few of the friends from high school would last through life and not to worry about the fads and trends of high school, as they will go away and be forgotten quickly. Helping people be better people in this world, making a difference in people's lives and living a good, moral life are the important things to focus on.

Back when I was in High school as a senoir I was giving the chance to become fulltime at work and make money. After 26 years later and the same job, I wish I could of finish college and become someone better for my family. I don't regret what I have done in my life since I have the same job for my entire life so it shows how honest I am with my job. At this time I am having so much fun going back to school and working. I am very lucky to have a supporting family but when it comes to money it is tuff paying for school. I wish I had some help to continue my goal on getting my degree and giving more to my family. Thank you for giving me a chance.
