i get alot of thing out of college i get to listen and meet alot of new people and i get write and learn alot of new stuff

I have been studying for my degree sinc 1993. I have had two children and numerous jobs but my education has and still is a main priority and that is why I have gone back to finsih up my education. My college experience when I was attending a tradional school gave me social skills to be able to handle interactions with different people. The online experience has helped me with working on things alone and given me a new way of learning. Although college isn't for everyone, I believe that further your education is something that everyone should look into whether it be attending tradional colleges or vocational schools or online education. To have the experience of further education can go along way in halping to get a promotion or even a new job.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there is some advice that I would give myself. First, I would tell myself to set a five year goal on the career path you are trying to achieve. Decide on a career that you will enjoy doing. Sometimes when you pick a career for money reasons, you get tired and burnt out on that career. Life is a struggle, but life is also what you make it. You will need to stay focused on your goals and travel down the right path. Starting now, you will be responsible for the choices you make in you life. There will be many battles, but know that you can overcome every battle as long as you never give up. It will never be too late to achieve a goal. Failure will only come when you start to do nothing to help you reach your goals. Never forget that learning is an ongoing process with no definitive end; there is always something new to learn. After graduating high school, attend a good culinary arts school. Become an Executive Chef within three years of graduation. Own catering business.

I would definitley advise myself to put everything into my grades during my senior year. I would encourage myself to seriously look into colleges and get an idea what I may want to do with the rest of my life. Your senior year is not the time to slack off, but it is the time to start realizing who and what you want to be for the rest of your life. It is the time to start realizing what talents you have, and what goals you want to reach. Do work to hard, remeber to enjoy your final year in high school, but at the same time take a serious look at what you want your future to look like.

If I could give myself advice that would drastically alter my future for the better, I would tell myself that after high school, you are one of many people in the world going at it alone. That one day you will wake up from the cloud of haze that you have been in for 20 years and realize that you are important, that you can accomplish anything you want in this life and not to let other people bring you down or tell you anything different. I would say that if you start now while you are young, your thirties and forties will be the best years of your life. You will have achieved your college diploma and now working at your dream job, possibly have a family, but only without the stress of life, the kind of stress you get when you don't go to college, when you flounder and fidget around with your life and can only land the $30K job you hate to go to every day. The kind of stress of raising three children on your minimal salary, watching their disappointment when you can't buy them a car or pay for their college.

I would go back and tell myself to work harder through high school and to study a lot more. I would also take more AP classes and look more advanced on my high school diploma. I will also discuss the things I will have to overcome and become more self confident with the work I put into my classes. I would have also worked harder in sending in videos to grab a spot on a volleyball team and land a scholorship.

If I could go back in time to give myself advice, I would first tell myself to start looking for scholarships because college is not cheap. Then I would tell myself that I should research different schools and programs that they have to offer. If I would have known what I know now about college, then I would have already graduated, had more money, and been on my own by now.

The advice I would give myself, if I went back in time. I would attend lectures from recruiters about continuing my education beyond my high school. I would decide to go and enroll in college and start right after graduation. And start in the summer. Giving up my rest and relaxation. To educate my self further!

I would tell myself that I should take a little time for myself and choose a career that I will love to learn more about. Then research the field I want to go into and find the position that most fits my personality and the skills I have learned from my past experiences.
