Dear Liliana: I know that you are in your senior year in Obregon Sonora Mexico, Next year you will be enrolling college in Tucson, Arizona. Thisis going to be one of the most important decision in your life. The transition is not going to be eassy at all. You will be in a first world place, far away from your family, friends and all the people that you know now. Further more you will have to learn from the new culture and language. You better pay attention in your english classes this senior year. Next year is going to be a totally new and challenging expiernce for you. Take care of yourself and don't be afraid of talking with people, be confident and believe in yourself. Keep working hard, always do your homework, do every extra credict assignment even if you think you don't need it, ask question! that is really important, take advantage of the instructor's office hours, read before every class that is going to give you a better understanding of the instructor is talking about and ask for help if you need, there is alwais people willing to help.

Hello, senior self! I know that high school seems like it wasn’t really worth your time. Trust me, it was. With the college transition, you are going to wish that you attended senior prom or at least stayed in school for that last semester. Listen; make the most of your college experience then. You’ll make more friends in college anyway. Stand tall, don’t be afraid, and don’t let anyone boss you around. You were a bit of a pushover in high school. College is the time to branch out and do different things. College is the time to grow up and be assertive to take care of yourself because people that aren’t your boss shouldn’t demand things of you (unless they’re your professor asking for assignments). Step out of your little girl shell and explore. Lastly, make sure you do thorough research on the college you would like to attend. Know all of the odds and ends about finances to room and board. Weigh your options. Once you’ve been admitted, make a name for yourself and study, study, study!

i would tell myself i would stop hurting my family and help my family around the house and make better deciosions and i would show them i have better choices in my live.

Yo bro fix yourself, you know you can do alot better. You have big dreams and your the only one that can make them happen. No one's going to hold your hand through this, so make the best of what you can. Spend more time with your siblings they need you more than you know and you wont get alot of time with them later. Keep your head up. Those females aren't worth loosing your head.

Bethany, I know you're ready to leave Shamrock and I know you're counting down the days until you do, and it's completely worth it. TSU is amazing. You've met some of the most amazing people and made the best friends you've ever had. You'll miss Shamrock, yes, but you'll miss Stephenville even more when you leave on those occassional weekends. That first week, Transition Week, do all that you can do. Don't say "no" to anyone about anything. You'll be grateful you weren't a hermit. That night before your Fundamentals of Music final, don't go to City Limits. DON'T SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY. Your roommate is a stranger to you now, but in less than a year, you'll become as close as sisters. Lynzie finally gives in and comes to Tarleton in the spring. You've already got some wild memories with that girl and after being separated for five years, you're inseparable now. You think these last three months of high school were fun? Just wait until that first year of college.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself not to worry about what other people think. College is a huge melting pot of cultures, customs, religions, and personalities. Therefore, don't worry about being friends with everyone, true friends will show themselves as long as you stay focused and true to your own culture, customs, religion, and personality. College life can be wild and crazy, but stay focused on your goals and it is fun with easy transitions.

If I could go back in time I would warn myself about how different college would be than high school so I would be more prepared for the years to come in college. I would tell myself times can get hard but not to give up. Also, to look up more scholarships so I didn't put so much pressure on my parents.

I would tell myself not to worry. There are a lot of decisions to be made in the coming years, but everything will be fine. Focus on taking one decision at a time, and try not to be so hard on yourself. Life is about the journey. Don't rush it. You'll be amazed at the things you will achieve. Trust in God's voice and follow peace. Study hard, and don't let other people tell you what they think you should do. They mean well, but it's your life. You need to follow your heart and not worry about anything else. You are too young to begin settling and focusing so much on what is deemed practical. You have what it takes to succeed at all you put your hands to. Apply for more scholarships and refuse to accept student loans. Most importantly, follow God and live without fear.

Try more not to fall asleep in class, you need that. And never give up on yourself! You will make it as a performer!!!!! And try to find a co-signer sooner!

I would tell my 17 year old self to be wise about future decisions that I make. Also to be true to myself and work hard for what I want in life because nothing will come easy. As well as good things come to those who wait and take the time to enjoy life while I'm young!
