Pasco-Hernando State College Top Questions

I’m here from the future to give you some much needed advice. First of all, don’t allow the drama that is going on right now to affect you. Avoid allowing our mother not being there or our friends pulling you into drama drag you down, and blinding you from completing your goals. Also don’t allow not knowing what you want to study in college affect your mood or feel lost. Don’t lose your motivation. I know at this point you are very dragged down, tired, and confused but enjoy the freedom of not having that much responsibility. Stop stressing about every detail that goes on, when something happens and learn to open up. You need to communicate with people instead of thinking you will become social randomly. Getting over you shyness this senior year will help you during your college years. Here’s a hint to what you will later figure out what you want to do: Film. Volunteer, because people may be dealing with the same problems as you. Also look for a job to get experience and don’t give up. Just focus on what’s important and keep moving on.

Don't give up

If I could go back to my high school senior year the main thing I would do is look for more scholarship help. Paying for college is very expensive but in the long run it is worth it when it comes to furthering my education and receiving a degree. Senior year of high school I didn't seek any help when it came down to paying for college. I didn't really know that it would cost a lot especially when it comes to college textbooks, fees and the tuition. Another thing that I would do if I could go back to senior year is truly appreciate that last year of "no worries". College courses are very difficult especially freshman year when everything is new. Although these courses are difficult and challenging the reward at the end of the class is very rewarding. You learn a lot and it helps a lot not only in school but through out life as well but going back to senior year with "no worries" would be lovely too. If I could go back to senior year these two main things would be the one thing that I would have in my mind set.

I was not inquisitive in Highschool,i left everything alone and just waited for things to come my way.I never asked for help with anything and was proud enough to think i could solve all my problems by myself.If anything i would tell myself not to be too proud or scared to ask about anything.I had short and long term goals,like making sure i made the grades to help get into college and gain schorlaships.In route to those goals i came through tough times wether it be difficult classes or complications in my life.I never taught to ask for help even though i needed it and just stuck to the idea that somehow my problems would fix themselves.I've had time to reflect on my actions and behavior in Higschool and know that i can change my character in due time but the most important thing i've learned is to be inquisitive and ask questions because you never know what you'll learn.

I would certainly continue high school. I would have started college sooner. Now I started late and getting a career is hard. I am achieving my goals in life, but it deffinately is later than anticipated. Had I graduated high school and gone straight to college, I would now b a successfull Law Attorney.

Going to college is like learning to ride a bicycle. You will be a bit wobbly at first; don't be afraid to use training wheels. You might find that you like riding alone, or maybe you need group rides to stay motivated. Either way is fine! If you get tired of the repetitive cycling, remember that you can change gears. Tackling hills, maneuvering through town or just coasting along will all get you somewhere. The things you see along the way can be just as important as your final destination. Maybe your bike has a banana seat and handlebar streamers, or perhaps you simply must have padded shorts and serious hydration to ride; discovering these things about yourself will help you decide what kind of rides you will go on. Some people are life-long cyclists; others look back on their cycling as a fond memory. Just get on the seat and start pedaling and you will be on your way!

Don't give up! I did not have my parents around to push me into graduating. So, I dropped out in 9th grade and went to night school full time and worked full time. I finally received my GED in 1999. So knowing how hard it was I should of just stayed in school. I will not allow my kids to fail or drop out. This has taught me to NEVER GIVE UP!

Don't rely on anyone else for motivation, inspiration, or any sort of hand-holding. So-called guidance can only take you so far, and you may regret following it too assuredly. As an artist, realize that the time to begin your life's work is now. Don't waste time waiting for college to improve you, but use it as a resource to improve yourself. In the words of Helen Keller, "College isn't the place to go for ideas." That said, do try to meet and connect with others, and don't even think about the departed high school class. You are entering a new peer group who know nothing about you, so use the rare opportunity to cast off old labels and propagate a more comfortable, honest identity. Communicate with professors and faculty as much as possible, and don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Through polite persistence, you can engage in special projects, bypass classes, extend deadlines, etc. Do not expect to continue the high-school norm of lazy work, late work, partial credit, absence. Professors will now expect exactly what they ask for, and nothing else. Finally, enjoy yourself!

I would sign up for a lot more scholarships then what I did before. I would pay more attentions to school, and try to learn as much as I could. I wish I visited more schools, and applied more schools.

I would of given myself the advice to keep my grades up, that scholarships are important when you do not have rich parents. I would of adviced myself to go to college while in high school due to the fact that it is free. I would of also adviced myself on debt, to stay far away from it so I could go to school full time.
