Salt Lake Community College Top Questions

I would tell myself to give myself more credit and to try harder. In high school I was a Honor Society member, had high grades, and participated in many of the school events. When it came time to graduate I only applied to one school, knowing almost everyone is accepted. I didn't think I would be accepted anywhere else. I was scared of rejection so I did not try. I know now that I can succeed when given the chance. The most important advice I would give would be to believe in myself and not to fear rejection. Rejection is a part of life and we can learn from it. I would also tell myself if I am given an opportunity I need to grasp that opportunity and run as far as I possibly can with it. This year I will be graduating from a community college. I feel I have a second chance to apply what I have learned about making transitions. I am telling myself to take a chance, not to fear the potential risk of rejection, and to take hold of new opportunities. I don't want to regret making the same mistake .

If I could go back there are a few things that I would tell myself. First would be to take as many college classes my senior year as possible to make high school worth it. Second would be to volunteer in the community and to job shadow in a variety of occupations to help me better understand what I want to do as a carreer. Third would be to go to college and live away from home. As I have been away from home I have better learned to depend on myself and have learned that some things really are not that important. One of those things is sports. I would tell myself that playing highschool sports is not worth it and is quite frankly, a waste of time. I should focus on school, family, and serving others. The hardest transition from high school to college is not the work load, it is learning to depend on and trust oneself. I would tell myself to focus on living rather than just existing and going through the motions. Life is there to be enjoyed and by trusting oneself and helping others life can and will be enjoyed.

Hey Jos, Go through with your plans to attend Dixie State College. You will eventually end up moving back with mom and dad to save money for the Spring 2010 semester and because you are a little tired of the small town of St. George; but do not get down on yourself. While in St. George you meet one of your best friends, she is a very fun and outgoing girl that helps you to meet a lot of fun people. You also meet a very good guy right before you move back, so you MUST hold out until Spring 2010. I promise, he is a keeper. You also figure out where you stand religiously while living in St. George, this is very valuable. You decide to pursue a social work degree at Salt Lake Community College, so do not waste time on classes you do not need at Dixie. School is expensive! Apply for as many scholarships as possible, hundreds and hundreds of them. find them at school, online, and at local banks. You are such a beautiful person and I am so happy to see the girl that we have become.

If I could go back in time I would take advantage of more concurent enrollment oppurtunities offered at my school. This would have been a good way for me to complete even more college credits while still in high school thus propelling me even farther ahead of my peers. I think its important to obtain as much education as possible early in your life. I would also remind myself of the importance of good study skills. Having a good study method would have helped me retain much of the information that I leaned in high school, which I quickly disregarded. I did not quite understand the importance of hard work and how difficult it is to break the habits which I had relied on to get me by for so long. I would be sure to remind my old self that school isn't entirely about the social scene and trying to become someone that everyone wants me to be; rather its a time to find out who you are and what goals you would like to achieve in your life.

If I could go back as a High School Senior knowing what I know now, I would change a lot of things. I would have furthered my education sooner. I could have applied myself better to get in a good college right away. I would have already been able to start my career right off if my education came first then. It has taken me a long time to start my college education with a family to take care of. I know now that if I had started college right after high school, my career would have been long on its way. If I would have applied myself better throughout high school, I could have gotten into a good college then. I could have taken my SATs and other tests that would have helped me out now. I would have set goals for my future and taken things more seriously. I can do anything that I set my mind to. I would also not let what people say hold me back.

As a high school senior, I did not have any idea what I wanted to go to school for. I ended up waisting alot of time taking classes here and there, and most semesters not taking classes at all. Now that I have decided on something I am right on tack, but I could have been done so much sooner if I had gone to school full time earlier and decided on something sooner. It was easy to say to myself that I would "just work this semester" and earn money, but I found after working and with low wages and so many bills, I didn't have any more money for school than I did before. It's important to be dedicated to going to school, it's too easy to put it off and put it off until it's almost too late. I would tell this to myself if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior.

If I could go back and talk to my self as high school student senior I would tell myself about all the great things Salt lake community college has to offer other than the friendliness and having fun we like to be serious to I am talking career wise. At salt lake community college they have a program for just about any career you would like to go into. I would also tell my self about the great experience I have been having because so far it?s great.

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school senior self I would tell her to stop running. That while life does get more stressful as you grow up, you will enjoy college and have nothing to worry about on that front. As long as you remember to breath.

If I were to go back in time to when I was a high school senior I would tell myself about all the oppertunities that my good grades could have got me into. I would show and tell the major I knew I was going into and the dreams for my future would come right in my hands. I talk about collge life and how everything works in the real world. More responsibilites are dealt with everyday. I would talk to the high school senior me and show her all the ways I could have been saving my money instead of spending it on things I didnt need. I could have invested some good money into an account for college. I should have spent more time looking for scholarships and applying for good colleges. I would still keep my mind on the school I am continuing going to now. Also I would tell the past me to take things a little more seriously than I did. The senior me wanted to get high school over with and didnt care too much about what the future had to bring for me. Iam glad with the results that got me here today.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I definately would have taken more college credit courses in high school. At my high school, you had to pay a one-time fee of $35 and you could take all the concurrent enrollment classes that you wished to take. Also, I would have saved more money in the years prior to enrolling in college because looking back, I spent most of my money on stupid and worthless stuff. Also, I would tell myself that in making the transition from high school to college easier, I would have told myself to go to the campuses for SLCC and wander around and to ask people about what they like about the campus. I would have also talked to academic advisors, and I probably would have signed up for more classes each semester.
