Phoenix College Top Questions

The advice I would give myself is, do what you HAVE to do NOW. So you can do what you WANT to do LATER. Life is to short for short comings. So take the long ones now....... Plan for the future now. Cause he who fails to plan, Plans to fail. ... And failure is not an option. If it's within your reach, reach till you get it! If it's within your grasp, grab until you grab it! When oppourtunity knocks at your door answer it! Keep your head to the sky and your feet on the ground. It's the only way to really get threw it. choose LIFE!

I would say to myself, Ashley, you are young and have your whole life ahead of you why don't you think that college is important. Yes, you may have a job lined up after high school waiting for you and 40,000 dollars a year is a great salary to start off with. But what about your knowledge of history, math, and a degree that can open doors for you in the future. I am forty two years old and if i could go back a get my bachelor's degree in finance I would but its to late I can only live for now. Who know's, the job that's lined up for you may not last, also the economy can take a dramatic downfall. Dont wait until its too late, take advantage of your youth and do the right thing, go to college!

If I could go back I would say to me to get over myself and listen to my mother. All I needed was to get a B in one of my classes my senior year to get my full tuition paid to anyone of the three in state universities; I however, didn't even try because I didn't like the teacher or anyone in that class. I lost the chance for that scholarship because of one single class. If I could go back I would tell myself not to be so pig headed and get not a B but an A in that class if I could go back.... I wish I could go back. I wasted a good opportunity. You've got to keep pushing forwards though. I have a good school I'm going to now, and I?ve had some experiences I wouldn't have had if I had gotten the scholarship. I've missed out on a lot too. So, now you know what I would tell myself if I could go back to my senior year.

If I could only go back in time I'd tell myself I'm not the first girl to face being raped and try and keep the baby. I wouldn't give up on my studies. I would take my SAT ans ACT test a little bit more serious. I would know that one day I'll be turning 47 and the education I get as a senior in high school sets the pace for my transformation in colllege. Self you got get focused in a couple of months you'll be going to college making those life choices that will make or break you for the rest of my life. I'd make preparation for my daughter and I that would get us through the change. Knowing then what I know now. Life for me would me a lot easier than trying to go back to school 30 years later and get it right. With my determination and God's will I shall prevail.

I have realized with past experiences that a good education is worth its weight in gold. There is nothing more important. Education opens all the doors you need to have a successful fulfilling career as well as a better outlook on life. I have struggled for years trying to make it with just a high school education and I have done quite well but if I could go back and do it over I would definitely get a jump on my life and career by taking the extra effort and get my degree before going out into the world with a disadvantage of lack of knowledge or education.

If I could go back into my senior year, I would tell myself to get enrolled in AP classes. That way I could save money and be ahead of the game. Instead of wasting my life away and letting my parents divorce run my life. I would aslo tell myself to be more active in school, join extracurricular activities or volunteer in something. Rather than getting involved in drugs and not let my love life intervene with my education. In order to prevent me from becoming depressed, suicidal, and a low-income.

When I was a senior, I didn't really think about college that much and assumed things would just happen. I got better grades than I had before, but going back I would have taken school more seriously and thought more about my future. I should have taken certain classes that would have made my academics easier at Phoenix College, even though I have earned a high GPA. I think that was the biggest thing I would change, is earning higher grades and not dropping classes.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell me to study harder and to take school a little more seriously. I made decent greades in school but did only what I needed to get through school. Now I wish that I could take more classes, study more, and get better grades. I have now realized how important it is to be succesful in life and how much work it actually takes and wish that I could make myself realize these things that teachers and elders have been trying to tell me for years. I think if I could go back in time and tell myself these things I would be a much better student and person.

If I could go back to being a high school senior I would have taken school a lot more seriously and found a way to go to college. College was not a option for me, my family did not believe that women needed additional education. I found out very quickly in the working world without a degree it is impossible to advance in your chosen field. For last severals I have taken classes at different institutes, but two years ago I decided that I need to take the plung and get my associates degree. I am enrolled in on-line courses through the University of Phoenix and I'm enjoying every class I have taken. My advice, don't lose those early years, find away to farther your education, it is more important now than it was one I was in high school.

To take life by the horns because its going to be a tough one. Nothing comes easy in life and you need to understand that. Nothing will be handed to you; you have to work your ass off to get what you want. So dont take life for granted, because you will fall flat on your ass many times.
