To start with i would tell my self to work harder, so i can achieve a better opportunity in obtaining a better degree. I would also tell my self that paying attention play a key role in school.

Dear Past Audrey, First off, don’t worry! You will be fine! I won’t tell you to not be nervous or to be more prepared for college; I think you have that covered. I want to tell you to be more excited! College is a huge next step and the beginning to something that can be great. College is a time where you get to be independent and try new things. Take advantage of these opportunities and be thankful for the challenges. Get involved in a club or an organization. This will give you an opportunity to meet new people and experience something new. Don’t be bored with school, make the most of it! Make sure you take the time to make friends. The first years of college should be fun, and a time to make good memories. There are tons of cool people out there if you take the opportunities to get to know them. Remember that you won’t be handed anything in life you can’t handle. Take things one step at a time. You’ll do great! -Future Audrey P.S. Don’t wear sandals to graduation, and watch out for the top step!

If I could go back in time and talk to my highschool stuff I would have so much to say! First off I would start by saying that even though Highschool is suppossed to be the "funnest years of your life," focus on your school work! One hiccup during highschool can be the one thing that keeps you from getting into the school of your dreams. You may think one C here or a D there isn't a big deal, because you can always just do better next year right? Wrong. It is extremely hard to pull up your GPA even after one bad grade. Getting in to a good college is so important, because this is your future we are talking about! Do good in school and put your social life second. If you focus in school and do well you can graduate with a masters by the age of 24-25 and thats when life really starts. Going to a great college and getting a degree will be the best decision of your life! So go on, try hard and succeed and land the job of your dreams!

I would advise myself to look forward and think long term. So many high school seniors are caught up in the moment of being the top of the school, having a great time, and after graduating enjoying thier new freedom. I would remind myself to stay focused, keep working hard, getting accepted to one or two colleges does not mean you can give up. The ahrdest classes, hardest teachers, hardest situations are yet to come, and you should continue to bette yourself everyday. You never know what could happen once you set foot on that college campus. Have fun and stay level headed. Accept the responsibilities of being an adult, not just the benefits.

My advice to myself would be to take every test and final exam as serious as possible Study and take the time out to pay more attention to whats's being taught even if I already know it. Take the time to pass all my classes with A's and B's so my gpa would be high enough to where I would be eligilbe for scholarships.

I would tell my self at no point is slacking allowed. I would also say try my hardest and stay on top of my game. Don't let anything get in your way and stay strong!

I would tell myself to stop being afraid. Fear of what people thought about me and the fear to stand out and be different always held me back from things I wanted to do. If I could go back, I would tell myself to forget what people think. So what that I wasn't the "ideal" size or that I wasn't considered cool. I loved being goofy when it was the right time and I loved my friends. I would tell myself that you are missing so much by sitting on the sidelines. Step out, be who you are and don't be afraid to shine and grow. Life is too short for regrets and don't forget it!

The transaction from high school and college is a very big difference and i knew what i knew now and the things that i do now I would have made some changes in high school. If I had the chance to go back in time when i was in high school I would have told myself to make sure i study alot, get a tutors in the subjects i need most help in, make sure i hang around the wrong crowd, make sure I join organizatiomns, or be involved in any atheletics. In high school i was a goof ball i didnt study because i didnt know how to, i was barely passing cheating is what got me to collegeb now that i get here i have to do alot on my own some people dont want to help you. I use to hang around the wrong crowd but keeping myself occupied with dancing and organizations i stay out of trouble and Now i study more to get good grades I want to be able to get an education without cheating my way threw it.

If I could return to the past, I would have told myself to stay living with my parents until I completed my two year associates degree. Then after that was complete, I would continue to a 4-year college to finish a bachelors degree. I made the mistake of leaving too early and taking on too much responsibility at once. The best advice I could have given myself is to slow down, make rational decisions with budget expenses, and complete one thing at a time.

I would start by saying your gpa is important. You have the intelligence to be a 4.0 student. There is a lot of scholarships you can qualify for if your gpa is high enough. You have to look beyond just high school right now. You cant wait till the last minute to come up with a plan. Be involved, go out and network and make as many contacts as you can now it may benefit you later. Strive to be above the norm and stand out from others. Ask questions, even though you think you do you do not know everything. Find ways to challenge yourself any leg up on the competetion would be an huge advantage. You are entering a global world now with a global economy. There are people from all across the world now competing for the same colleges, scholarships, and jobs. College just doesn't prepare you for a job it prepares you for life. So don't blow off high school and just coast to graduation. Excell yourself and take this chance to sharpen your skills. Once you leave you cant come back and the life you once knew is now gone. Be ready!!
