I would tell myself to finish school as soon as possible. I would stress the fact that a college education is necessary to have a successful career. I would emphasize that life will always get in the way of most plans made, but that persistence and perseverance pay off.

To not give up, that I can do it. If only i set my mind up for it I can do it and to not to take a long time to go to college.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior I would do everything different. First I would eliminate the stubbornness, and listen to my parents. I would stop concentrating on what party who was going to, and the latest drama. I would also get involved in more community service, and clubs. I did have a strong GPA, I participated in cheerleading, Journalism, and I was a part of a community service club. Even though I was a member of these school events I failed to continue any of these in college. Also I participated for a limited amount of time. If I could change that, I would stick with cheerleading and the other clubs instead of giving up. Another thing I would change is my ignorance of scholarships and money growing on trees. As a senior, I waited until the last minute to complete college applications, and I also ignored scholarship applications. When attending high school I had the mind set that everything would be completed for me, or just magically appear. Unfortunately I quickly learned that college was a whole different ballgame. My advice is to take school seriously, get use to deadlines, and stay determined.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a highschool senior, the very first thing that I would tell myself is, "Fill out college applications and apply for scholarships the first couple of months of school!" Filling out applications on time was my biggest downfall for ending up in the situation I am in now and now being able to go straight into a 4-year university of my desire. Now that I know what its like as a college student, I would tell my senior self to not be overwelmed about the idea. The classes and workload is not all that difficult. The schedule is very flexible and convenient. In my opinion, college is easier than highschool.

I would tell my high school self, not to worry so much about choosing the "right major" at the time and focus more on school than partying. I have taken multiple classes, wasting money on an unguided education and I now feel that I have found my way. :)

If I could go back a talk to myself I would tell me to take my classes alot more serious instead of waiting until the end of the year before graduation to want to work. I also would have told me to do a lot more to prepare myself to be able to pay for college and worked to recieve more scholarships. I would have done a lot more to get back in football and possibly receive a football scholarship and be where I want to be . But most importantly I would have tell myself to reconize the resources you have in front of you and use them man dont waste time trying to handle it yourself because you dont have the proper connections at this time so just use what you got to get what you what.
