Robert Morris University Illinois Top Questions

If I could go back to being a high school senior I would give myself tons of advice. During my first quarter I had all A's and B's, after I saw that I was doing well I decided to start slacking. Due to that i would definetly tell myself there's always something better to what your doing, just because I had all A's and B's my first quarter didn't mean I couldn't do better the second quarter. I should have continued to do my best to raise my GPA.

I would go back and tell myself to sit down and interview the teachers themself. It's one thing to go around on a guided tour and see the buildings, but in all honesty it's the teachers that make the experience a good or bad one. You have to make sure that you are learning from someone you can personally connect with. It will ensure that you get the best education that you can have.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior and give me self advice about college I would tell myself two things: Save any extra money you have and do not be scared about being successful in school. I find myself as a college student saving seventy-five percent of my pay check for school tuition. If I knew how hard it would be to pay for college by myself, I would tell myself to save every penny so times would not be so stressful. I am trying to save up for my bachelor?s degree in Advanced Culinary Arts at a downtown Chicago campus. Since Chicago schools downtown are more expensive than suburb schools, I am having trouble trying to save. The second bit of advice I would tell myself is not to worry about how well I am going to do in college. I was so worried that college would be too hard and that I would not be successful. I am currently on the Deans lists with very good grades, so worried and stressed for no reason. I would tell myself not to worry and that I will continue being successful in school.

If i could go back I would tell myself to get ready because it's not easy. I would also say what to expect and what to look out for. I would also Help myself look for the right school that way the mistake I made of choosing the wrong school won't happen. I would hopefully try to mature more to and tell myself too settle my mind a little bit more on school and not the party side of everything. I have my whole life too party, but right now is my future and if I don't take it serious, who else will?

I would tell myself to work harder in and out of school. I would told me to choose to work more on school and less on sports. Fill out more scholarships, tried harder to find a job I could do during the school year. I would go over everything that I found out before coming here so that way I would be able to focus more on things that were more important to my education.

never second guess yourself. Be prepared at all times . Do not be afraud ti ask questions. They may seems unimortant to you but that small qusetion maybe just what is needed to get you to the next level in life.

I would advise myself not to stress over college. I'm smart enough to get in, get scholarships and make good grades. Don't stress over being perfect because no one is. Just do your best - your teachers will see your willingness to learn and the effort that you put into their classes. In turn, they will want to help you, encourage you and stretch you. They might even tease you and tell you to relax. Life is a journey so enjoy the ride and all the changes and challenges that starting college brings. It's a new adventure so don't be shy, jump in and enjoy this time in your life! Learn new things, set lofty goals, reach for the stars and enjoy the view.

Going Back in Time If I were to go back in time to give myself some college advice, I really would not give myself a lot of advice but the advice I would give myself would have a profound effect on my future. When I was a senior in high school I was much disciplined when it came to my studies. I was an honor roll student with a bright future ahead of me. Unfortunately I did not know what I wanted to do after graduation. I could not decide if I wanted to be a chef, a teacher, or a business woman. I would give myself two advice points for my future. The first point would be for me to do a lot of research for different potential career possibilities. This would have allowed me to make a better decision on choosing a major and the proper university for that particular major the first time around. Visiting different schools that focus on the particular majors that I was possibly interested in, would have helped me make a wiser school career decision. The second point I would give myself is to not procrastinate, stay motivated, and determined.

Given the knowlegde I have now about college life and the transition between, I would advise myself to keep focused, remember to make my education a priority over my social life. Never doubt my abilities and pursue my dreams even when the world may seem against it. Continue looking forward and thinking of my career and future to come. It's not going to be easy, and it's not supposed to be. However difficult it may be, never is it unattainable.

Work harder your last year in highschool to get your GPA up so you don have to do it in college. And you will be able to get more academic scholarships so you wont get in finachial situations that will cause you to not be able to continue with college.
