If i was in high school now, i would really look into alot of schools to choose and do alot of research, get help about different school and tour around the schools to see what best. I would even look into apply all the scholorship to get help to pay for my college. Cause back then i didn't know that budget would be so low and hard to afford for school. Also i would tell myself to go straight to college and not wait until wait will hold u back to get your goal that u want. Always look into college even u dont think u would want to go in college but it always best to look into colleges for furture.. College is the best things to go to get what ur want for your goal.

If I could go back in time and knew now what I know now about online schooling I would have applied and went to school and worked at the same time. I was not able to work full time and support my daughter and go to school so I gave up school and worked to support us.

The adivse I would have given my high school self would be, do not assume college will be just like high school. I did really well in high school academically, but I think it is because we were under constant supervision. College is a whole different world; in which I still did well, but it was a lot more work. There are a lot more freedoms and temptations that you, as an adult, are now responsible for. Professors are there to help, but they are no longer there to be your day-time sitter. They teach and answer questions; your grades are your problem, not theirs. They get paid whether you pass or fail. Just stay motivated to finish on time and with good grades. Four years is just grains of sand in the hour glass compared to the last twelve years you have put in.

If I change the past then my future would change. I am not happy that I waited so long to go to college, but I am happy with the children I have had .they are a delight no matter what challenges we have had to face. I would not want to give up having them for the world. I would just go and say one thing. The future is what you want to make of it, make the best of it for you.

Study hard and learn to make positive choices. Should have listened to my parents about studying. Create really good study habits and read all the books that you can. Pay better attention in math class.

While attending college, I have learned that all things are possible through determination and will power. I feel so motivated to complete my degree and start my career everytime I walk on campus. The entire atomosphere is wonderful and I feel safe while in class. The interaction with fellow students and with teachers really help me to keep pushing forward toward my career. I feel like Phoenix College is the perfect fit for me because it "fits" into my schedule. They have a variety of classes and times which makes the flexibility even easier.

In the Spring of 2007, I began my college career at a local community college. I attended full time taking out student loans to help finance my education. Due to hardships consisting of had lived with an abusive parent and loss of employment when my employer went bankrupt, I had to temporarily postpone my education. During my time, I have accumulated forty-two (42) credit hours and an experience that I will never forget. A time in my life when I thought all hope was lost and that I was worthless and had no talents. I found my calling at this community college. I experienced first hand the joys of helping others by bridging the gaps between languages. Whether it be Sign Language for the deaf or hearing impaired, or a foreign language such as French or Spanish. I enjoy learning about other cultures and becoming emersed within the language. Living in a country that is the biggest melting pot , Interpreters/Translators are in high demand. In this rough economy, it is important to me to further my education so that I may succeed in life to help the governement, schools, or hospitals with the language barriers they may have.

I am to attend the Art Institute of Chicago next year. I value my attendence to this school becuse of its intense environment. Art is important to every culture and has been through out time. It is timeless. Art will always have importance but it is such a risk to pursue it. All I can do is work my hardest and see where I go.
