Hold your head high. It is not all about having fun but you can set yourself in the right direction and enjoy yourself at the same time.

You want a good life and you want to feel accomplished so just stay with it! Push for the best, take advantage of opportunities and never stop wanting to learn!

If i could go back in time and was able to tell myself about college life i would tell myself to not be distracted, and to limit my classes to three a semester because more than that would be hard for me to keep up with. I would also tell myself to take better notes and pay better attention because the professors changed the notes. I might also mention that i dont need to buy some of my books because i would never use them. I would also have to tell myself to focus on school and dont let what is going on in my life keep me from doing what everyone knows I could have done.

If I could back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would first tell me self to focus more and study harder.

I would have seen it as a great means for a promising future and security in the workforce, with the ease in advancement as I matured, giving me the ability to achieve self sufficiency much sooner.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself before leaving high school I would tell myself to educate myself about getting into college. I would show myself the grades I need, entrance exams I need to take and how to take them, and financial aid possibilites. I would tell myself that I am not stupid and, no matter how bad my life was at that time that I would have a future. I would give myself a glimpse into the future and show myself as a 46 year old grandmother waiting tables. I would also show myself going back to college and achieving a 4.0 GPA... saying it can be done... but I would tell myself ?Do it now! Don't waste time! Be young while you can and have a college life with peers your age. Don't miss out on your college years. You can DO it!?

Katelyn is stubborn, and like any high schooler, believes that she has all of the answers and the most purposeful direction to her goals. To persuade her to settle into the conversation, I would utilize the comfort of her favorite beverage: a java chip frappucino. Grande. We'll laugh in the beginning; I still take life with a dose of humor. My message will be brief, and she won't think my assertions are valid. I tell her, inevitably, that life and her dreams won't go as planned. I show her a picture of a beautiful little boy named Evan. She compliments him with enthusiasm; great minds think alike. I won't tell her this time, that this is her son. Instead, I tell her to champion through the obstacles. To soldier on when exasperated, and that the best revenge is success. That even on the dreary days, dreams are still attainable. I pause, and I remind her, that knowledge is power and perseverance is key. She looks somber, and slightly confused, but she will understand someday. I see a familiar fire in her eyes, the same that still burn in mine. We will conquer.

I would start looking for scholarships and financial aid while still in high school, instead of waiting till I was in college.

If i could go back to my senior year I would tell myself that college is a great experience. Many kids don't put forth the effort to go on after high school, but once you make the decision to keep going it is well worth it in the end. College is much different than high school. It requires you to get your priorites straight and really buckle down. Through college there will be just as much homework and tests if not more. I think college gives a much different feeling becuase your there because you want to be. No one makes you attend college, but these days your not much without it. College is a great experience for me because i work hands on with what I will be doing as a career. Knowing that I could truly experience the many aspects of my career really helped to know for certain it is what I would do for the rest of my life. There will be many ups and downs through college, but remember to stay strong and never give up. Many careers depend on this special extra time you took to make your career a true success!

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell me to go to a junior college first. Community college is more student focused than big universities and they help give you the room to learn what you really want to do with the rest of your life. Just because you earn a degree doesn't mean that you won't go back to school for what you really want to do, that's what I did and I am much happier now. I'd tell myself to not be in such a rush for school to be over but to enjoy all of the experiences that you have there.
