Brookline College-Tucson Top Questions

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

joseph

I would tell myself to not feel like he has to rush right in and figure out what he's going to do with the rest of his life. Rather take a little bit of time off to reflect on himself as he transitions to young adulthood. Where does his passions and drive lie? Live in the real world for a little bit, travel, work a couple jobs. As somone who didn't really have a father growing up, find a older male role model or a mentor. Someone who can advise and inspire. Do as much art as you can, self expression is important to learn about who you are and what you want to do. Once you've had some time to grow and live a little bit and have a better grasp on who you are yourself then would be the ideal time to pursue your dreams and ambitions.

I would tell myself not to drop out of highschool and to get my diploma. I would also tell myself to continue to live at home with my parents until I finish school.

If I was Able to go back in time I would tell myself that, life is always going to be a struggle but you have to stick with it; to keep pushing forward and not to drop out of school. Life gets harder when you drop out and I don't want to make it any more harder than it already is. I would tell myself to stay in school and get a good College Education so that when I have my career going and I am finacially ready to have children they could have a better child hood, have a mother they could be proud of, and look up to.

If I could go back into time and talk to myself the very first thing that I would talk to myself about would be birth control. I became a young mother at the age of 15, due to the lack of communication between my mother and us (siblings). I then gave birth to another beautiful baby a while after. I never stopped thinking about going back to school, but I did know that it would be a very hard struggle living life as a single parent of two. I was trying to raise myself at the sametime that I was raising my little ones. If I could go back in time I would give myself a lot more time to focus on my career and succeeding in life before I would decide to have children. Eventhough my girls are now pre-teens it has been a really bumpy road throughout all these years. I am very proud that I decided to continue with my education now that I have been given a chance, but if I could go back I would probably wait until I have a more financially secure future to provide for myself and my daughters.

John

I would congradulate myself for being accepted to the college of my choice in which I were to be accepted to. Advice myself that this is an opportunity to advance in my career for the type of occupation in which I am interested in. Be dedicated and keep the course, be of sucess and be able to deal with the tough times when they come along. Become an example for those to follow and a challenge to those ahead of you, especially those who don't take school seriously. Come out on top by way of completing your goal and earning your degree with the opportunity to advance. Take what you've learned in the classroom, and from your peers and build on it out in the field. Allow my spiritual creator to be involve with the everyday activities and assingments inwhich I have to deal with everyday.
