The First advice i would like to give to a high school senior about college is to stay focus. There are many things around you (including people) that you influence you to pay attention to things less important. Also set goals for yourself, make a list of things you would like to accomplish, that way you will have a clear idea of the things you want to achieve. In addition, make sure you are prepared academically and financially. Those two concerns can really stress you out and another barrier to make you lose focus. And when picking a school make sure you do your research before applying..check the graduating stats, tuition,majors,academic requirements,scholarships and different criterias that fit you. Also location is a major key, make sure is some place you can see yourself living or traveling.

Try to get involved on campus. Your courselaod along with extra-cirricular activities may seem like its too much, but keep on perservering.

The advice that I would give myself is always put my best foot forward concentrate on the important things and leave the small things behind. I only have one chance to improve my life style knowing I came from a family that didn't have a lot of money. I should have worked very hard for every possible scholarship that was out there in order to succeed in life and college. I would have change the people who influence me in a bad way and improve my study habits and put what was important first which was my career. I would have said, its not all about being a Delta, but getting my education and making sure that my college life would have been better then what it was. Life would have been more better and I wouldn't had to have struggle through high school or college. People often say life is just a dream, but I saw more and could have had more but instead I chose the life a sororities instead of my education.

Going back to when it was time to take my SAT I would tell myself "prepare better for this test ; you may not realize now but this score varies whether or not you get enough finacial aid. I would coach myself on better organization skills write more essays for scholarships and I would stress to myself that saving money from work is highly needed now because I am not eligible for finacial aid other than a 1,400 dollar state scholarship that barely covers books and lab fees. I then would also stress the importance of staying focused because college life is not easy.
