I wish I had known how challenging it could be. I wish I had approached my high school years more seriously and taken more challenging classes to have been better prepared, thus my transition could have been a smoother one. I love and have matured through the situations I have expreienced during my tenure at Pan Am and I would not change them for the world.

Before I came to UTPA, I wish I had known I wouldn't need to buy a book for every one of my classes, and some classes were going to require more than one book. I also wish I would've known that all of the college professors aren't as strict and intimidating as most high school teachers make them out to be.

I wish I would've taken more college courses while i was still in high school because now that I'm at UT-Pan American I would've saved time and money by taking basic core courses in high school instead of now. Also would've helped me graduate from university faster.

My major. It took me about one year to be sure of which major was convenient for me. Even though I went to advisement sessions and talked to many people regarding what career to choose, I could not decide in the beggining of College.

I wished I knew a little more about what I wanted to study for because I would of been finished by now. I also wish that I knew that there was concurrent enrollment until I found out in the latter part of my high school years.

How important it was to keep your grades high and what your overall GPA meet in college? I knew that I need to pass the classes and that I had GPA but I always just thought that as long as I passed I would be okay. I could have done better and I did my senior years when I finally saw how my GPA would affect me into being accepted to a university but one year of tring did help much on my GPA.

When I was in high school I was already taking classes here, so I knew quite a lot about this school before I became a fulltime student. Ussually the high school counselors know a lot about the school so they tell us everything we need to know ahead of time. And then we attend UTPA Freshman Orientation where they give you all the info you need. Most people may say its really long, but it covers everything you need to know and it gives you time to look through all the other clubs or organizations present in our university.
