Mott Community College Top Questions

If I could go back in some time machine I would totally give me a lecture about some serious stuff and allot of trivial but important info. One thing I would DEFIANTLY stress was to get my butt in gear and fill out all of the scholarships I can until my hand falls off. Another thing id tell myself is to stop loosing things especially my ID card because paying five dollars every time you loose it is a pain. Pizza or Id?... ill take the pizza. Don't worry what you wear when u walk to class because lets face it when it comes down to frost bit toes in some awesome flats or healthy feet and snow boots I'm going to go with that. My last words would be do all your work, there will always be parties, keep your stuff in check and scholarships equal free cash and college equals expensive so keep it up!

High school is a joke. It's a joke because after it's over, then, you realize that everything is different. The things you thought were stupid, you realize were the most important things. High school is one of the few places where people are willing to give you something for free so that you can use it to benefit for the rest of your life. Do not take that for granted. Get your priorities straight. Do your homework and study hard. Try your best everyday and in everything you do. If you do that, not only will college be easier, but the rest of you life will be better.

Knowing how precious life is today, and how I had taken for granted the days of my youth, and wasted my high school years, and repeated classes by making poor decisions and associating with the wrong crowds, I would take the time to talk to myself as a high school senior and remind myself that the decisions you make today willl impact your life forever. There are people in place to help give you advice and assist you with making the right decisions, such as Academic Advisors, Financial Advisors, who can steer you in the right direction and secure the right classes, so that you wouldn't have to stumble at wasteing time and dropping classes that will result in poor grades, or no grade on your transcripts. Knowing now that my love for music, theatre, and the arts is so important to my career, I would advise young Kenneth to take full advantage of the career planning processes offered through student counselors in order to develop a clear path and gain the technical knowledge and experience needed to further my career goals. Which would have been to become a recording artist and later a Video/Audeo Producer.

I would make sure I had enough time to plan ahead. I was lost and scared when I came to Mott. But I would encourage myself to work hard and be prepared for the future. I would also push myself to find a job so it would be easier on my family. Driving 45 miles one way hurts your pocket. I understand its only a 2 year school but its still a big transition from Capac to Flint.

Wow! What a great question! If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, the first thing I'd say is, "Stay focused on your ultimate goal of graduating from college. " I'd also be sure to tell myself to set smaller goals and make a schedule not only of special occasions but also to keep track of my progress of these smaller goals. To schedule frequent study time for better grades but to also make time for fun so you don't get burned out would be another thing I'd tell my high school self. I'd say, "These next years are supposed to be the best time of your life, just know that your college years will be what you make them. Knowing what I know now I'd tell my high school self not to forgot to call home often because your family will miss you.

I would have to give myself the advice to enroll and plan on going to a community college even if I have a college picked out and already plan on going there because it's best to have a backup plan and it's also saves a lot of money. Another advantage is I get a feel for what college is and can take a little more time picking out a 4 year institution based on the classes I have taken at the community college.

This is a classic time-travel paradox. Assuming that I could in fact travel into the past and hand down a few pearls of wisdom to my past self in order to make my college experience go a little more smoothly, and also assuming that my past self actually heeded my words, then it would in effect change my past self?s future and my present self?s past. While this initially doesn?t seem like a big deal, this change in my past would cause me to tell myself something completely different when my past self goes back in time (in my past self?s future). In short, if I had the opportunity to go back in time I surely wouldn?t interfere with my past self. I would probably just go see Miles Davis in concert at Birdland. You can?t change the past. The knowledge gained though personal experiences are infinitely more important than advice given. They are the essence of our being. Treasure the self you are now, and forget the self that could have been.

Well I would first tell myself to pick up some better study habits because you need good study habits to maintain good grades in college. I didn't have any study habits in high school and so when I came to college I had to teach myself and get into a habit of constantly studying for my classes. Also in high school I was dead set on taking a year off of school before going to college so I didnt do any applying or research on colleges, but now I wish I had looked at some schools.
