Gabreille

if i could go back to my senior year i would like to do all my classes over and have more time to get myself together befroe i come to the real world. In high school you waas having the teachers to tell you what to do and whn all the work and the study guides for the test we did them all in class and didnt have to doas much to get the things we needed for the testes.

By attending Paul D. Community College I have learned how important educaiton is. Many of my classmates are returning to college to make better lives. Mostly because they have been laid off from jobs they've had most of their lives. Two ladies that I share many classes with are being divorced by their husbands and are going to college so that they can support themselves and their children. I graduated high school thinking that college was just something I was supposed to do because all my friends were and to make my parents proud but after seeing how life changing an education is I value my oppurtunity to learn.

I have gotten an excellent education that had propelled me into the working environment which allow and afforted me to give back to my community and aid my family with assistance (financially and emotionally). I have further my education because of what I had gotten while I was at Morris. What I got from attending Morris College, really in totality prepared for life in the real world, marriage and career as well as owning and running a self-appointed business. I am so bless to had attened this fine school. All of my family member had attended this shool soley based on the fact that I went there and graduate with honors. I was the first of 14 childredn to have graduated from college.

First off I would like to say when starting high school, do not play around, get focused and stay focused. As a senior in high school I would prepare myself physically and mentally for these classes. I thought that what my teachers said in high school about the class work for college was just something to scare us, but experiencing it for myself it really is not.

the advice i would give myself is : information on the subject matter is what is important not the look of the school therefore try community college it is cheap and finacial aid will cover the cost and you will get the same infomation that expensive college gives to the students

stay focus and dont let the college life distract me.

Jennifer

If I could go abck in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to take full advantage of every single opportunity educaton offers. College life, while scary, is the prime time to get to know yourself and to develop social skills. I would also tell young Jennifer to not be afraid to ask for help as soon as I encountered something I was unfamiliar with. My best years would be ahead of me and I should embrace them. The last thing I remind young Jennifer is to never forget to put God first in everything she does. Because without him she can do nothing.

Jasmine

The advice I would give myself would be to take out more time to fill out scholarships and to fill out more college applications. This way I would have multiple choices instead of just picking a college at the last minute. I would also tell myself to explore my career options and the things that I am most comfortable with doing instead of picking a major that I think I may like and go with something that I know I will like.

The only advice I would give is to send your child to a school with less partying so they can get the proper education they need.

I would encourage students to start their college search early and to search for outside scholarships to obtain aid other than that obtained through the FAFSA. Aslo, I would encourage students to not attend a certain college for its name, but for what the college is able to offer you in the area that you wish to make your career choice. Lastly, for student to get the most out of their college experience I would encourage them to keep their academics first, and balance it with co-curricular activites that will not only provide interest but will enhance their civc and leadership skills.
