South University, West Palm Beach Top Questions

If i could go back in time and talk to myself; I would advice my self to try and do as many classes as possible and take advantage of the classes that count towards the electives and required classes. Also i would tell myself to study a lot because it is not easy and you have to concentrate on what your doing to achieve something in live.

As simple as it sounds, it would simply be to seize the day. It has been a significant amount of time since my high school graduation. During this time, I received an education in life, but due to life’s circumstances have delayed my desired academic educational goals. I would communicate to my younger self, to pursue these goals as soon as possible. Do not delay, do not wait, and do not elect the simple road instead of the difficult one. Simply get it done, fight for what you desire, and do not allow anyone to dissuade you from your goals. I have witnessed many of my peers achieve their goals as I have allowed myself to wait for my time to succeed. I would tell her; NOW is the time to succeed, to achieve, and to surpass the goals and expectations that you set for yourself.

I would tell myself over and over again because I don't believe things when told once, to make every minute count. I would get help from my friends, classmates and family to try and overcome my shyness. By being painfully shy I have wasted many good opportunities thinking I will fail, I will embarrassed myself, that I will let people I love down. I would definitely prepare myself for the real world, the world you have to pay bills, have responsabilities, the one I have to do things by my own merit and not wait for someone to do it for me or just sit and wait for it to happen. Another thing that I regret not doing earlier is take care of my health, I am overweight, I had many chances to lose weight and I didn't take them. One last thing is my sister, She took the wrong path in life, leading to drugs, to crime, to things I never thought she would do. If I could play a video showing her that, before she does it I'm sure I can save her from that miserable life she has now.

Be focused, don't get distracted, think about the future, what you want to help others do, your ambition, and your parents.

I would discuss the financial aspects of college and how important it is to save as much money earned as possible. It is fun earning your own money in high school and being able to spend it on what you want. Thinking about the future isnt exactly what every high school senior has their mind on. They have dreams but not the understanding of the requirements to get there. I would discuss how going away to college is a great opportunity that no one should miss out on. I would tell myself to continue going and not stop until I get the degree I am aiming for. Taking a break truly does set you back. I would enforce the thought that just because a high school friend is staying in state for school doesn't mean I should too as you dont always keep the same friends, but make more and different ones in college. Class work is on your terms in college not like high school where you supervised by your teacher. You arent a child and won't be treated as such. Work hard and save money and you will succeed.

If I was back in time and know what I know now and how I view life now, I would advice myself to enroll into college, believe in myself, don't worry about trying to please anyone or fit in with a certain group of people. Don't do drugs and remember life is much more than just a party! I would advice myself not to look for the easy way out, but to trust my ablitities. To take a chance on doing something you are not comfortable in doing. Most of all I would make sure I stay out of trouble with the law because it would get me nowhere fast. I would tell myself to study, and do my best, and make friends and enjoy campus life. Last but not least, I would tell myself to be patient, let things work for me and be a critical thinker, and goal reacher. Love myself and things will turn out great. This is what I know now and would advice myself if all can be done over again.

There are so many different aspects of my life I would have changed in my high school days. If I could go back in time and give myself advice for the future I would have told myself to not delay my education in any way. I also would have told myself to pursue dual enrollment because it would have saved money on classes at that time. The money I could have saved would have been used towards the education I am trying to obtain now. I also would have told myself to continue to pursue my passion, but by looking at different options. For instance, looking at a variety of schools where a nursing program is available so that I did not waste any more time waiting on other schools outcomes.

I would definitely encourage the younger me to talk to a career counselor before signing up for college. I had to switch my major and colleges before I finally discovered the career that fit my personality. That's why I am now pusuing a Pscychology degree from South University. I would also tell my younger self to get as much financial advice on student loans and various options for paying for college. Right now it is a struggle to come up with the finances to pay for college and I am already building up scary college debt loads that is frightening. So in a nutshell, I would tell my younger self to know what you want to study and determine the best way to pay for it.

To my young teen self- You will succeed in everything academic related and will be a well rounded student. I strongly suggest that you save up for future tuition costs for the nursing program. It isn't cheap. Other than that, all will be well.

College isn't so hard, its making it in the world of an adult that is the tricky part. Sometimes when I was a high school senior I would think college was going to be a fly by, I thought I would get through in three years, the result of rediculously cramming my schedule with an average of twenty credits a semester. I realized then that you can't take eighteen credits of college courses with absolutely no money. You end up trying to have a good time, keeping up with time consuming classes, and juggling a job. So as a result of my dilema I have to say my only regret is not getting more scholarships. Since I didn't prepare more for my first year of college, I ended up having to take a year off and working a full time job so that this year I am more prepared, have more time, and as a result definately more motivated. This time I have started early and on time because if you don't, you will get caught falling behind.
