Wharton County Junior College Top Questions

i would tell myself not to slack off and high school is just a tool to get you ready for college and if you think highschool is hard just wait untill college because the teacher are not as nice . please take your classes serious as if you paid for them.if you do all this college should be as easy as high school . and apply to every scholarship you can and apply to school early so you can sign up to classes that have nicer teachers.

I would say to myself find a group of honest friends that you can trust and study with and don't worry about what everybody else is thinking about you and how you handle things. Also if i did happen to get a job make, i would get a part-time job and get more organized and tell myself not to get lazy and get out there and make as many friends (good friends) and just focus on my work and set a special time to have fun and go to parties. I would also tell myself to take advantage of all the library time that i could get.

I would assure myself that Kerr Highschool was the best college preparation possible, and that everything at Kerr was better than it ever could be, in terms of quality of educators and material presentation. There has been no college course better prepared than Kerr, nor any teacher better than there was, or even close to their level. It's cake.

If I was given the oppurtunity to go back in time and visit my high school self, I would definitely tell my younger self to take as many college credit in high school, enabling me to run through college faster and saving me money. I would also adamantly tell myself that applying for scholarships is of great importance, as they will help pay for school, and applying for FAFSA is just as important. Regarding college classes, I would advise myself that college classes are not high school classes. What I mean by that is in high school, I was able to breeze through all my classes and earn at least a B in all classes, whereas college classes require you to critically think about what is being discussed. Concerning the social atmosphere of college life, I'd tell myself that I should not worry about going to a college where my friends are and just focus on a college best suited for me, because college students are extremely friendly and approachable. The final piece of advice I would offer myself, no matter how cliched, is that hard work and being yourself is the best way to get through college.

Some advice i would give myself is to always listen to your teacher because you never know what your going to need to know for college.

I would have told myself to go back even further in high school and take some courses to exempt myself from the classes I would be taking in college.

I would go back and tell myself that although this first year at a community college is going to be extremely easy you still need to put forth major effort to build good habits for the university life. I would have told myself that I need to try my hardest to soak up every little bit of information so that I can apply it tenfold upon transferring to a bigger school the year after.

College is a place to start fresh after high school and make something of yourself for your future. Also, it is a place to rediscover yourself and to plan what you need to do with the rest of your life. More than likely, you will find that there are more people out there in the world who share your views and morals, so don't be afraid to meet new people, do new things, or make new friends. It is important that for every hour you spend in a class, you should spend at least two hours outside of that class studying and going over notes for that specific class. Of course, it is natural to be nervous considering that you are molding yourself and your future career, but anything can be overcome with determination and believing in oneself to do the best that they can with what they are given. It is up to you to make a difference with your life, so get out there and do it! No one said that life is ever supposed to be easy!
