Knowing what I know know about college life and the transitions, I would have told myself that a college education was not out of my reach. I didn't do well in high school classes, but have excelled in my online college classes. I would have also told myself how fun, new, and exciting it is to be able to work with a multitude of people on a regular basis through classes.

Take the chance. What harm is it going to do? Take time out of your day? Whats the worst it could do? Give you a degree. I should have had a harder conversation with myself about it. At the time my parents did not have the money to send me. They were barely getting by themselves. I never knew how easy it was to get financial aid threw a "Financial Department" at the school. I always thought it was out of my reach. What I didn't know was even though I have to pay that loan back. I still have a better future than if I had only a High School Diploma.

They wanted only them to succeed. They saw everyone else as mediocre possible college material. As I do now of Holding a higher standard for myself to achieve more.

If I could go back to myself in high school, I would have told myself to finsh with a traditional diploma instead of compromising with a G.E.D. That way I would have had more choices of where to go to school. I would have also told myself that college wasn't out of my reach and that it would increase my self-confidence by incredible lengths. My classes have pushed me to my academic limits and I have gained so much knowledge, charisma, and confidence in my self and my abilities.

"Don't waste your time. Forget about girls, drinking, and screwing off for just two years and focus on what truly matters: family, school, and yourself. Theres so much out there to distract you, but thats just something you'll have to deal with. Everything you learn in school is vital, regardless whether its something you're going to use in the field or not. Pay attention, I know how you are with stuff like that. And most importantly, BE CAREFUL! You're going to run into chances of screwing your life up everyday and its going to have to be in your good judgement that you evade those certain situations." Or something along those lines, I'm not really much for talking to myself.
