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

If I could go back in time and talk to myself when I was a senior in high school, my main point I would make is this ; " you only live once". When you graduate thats when its time to work. Thats when work begins. Thats when your life and your future begins for the rest of yourt life. There will be a lot of obstacles that will need to be over come to succeed in life. From what i know now, i think of myself as a failure. I didnt take the advice that i was given about my future and im paying for it now. i wish that i would have listened to someone about life after my senior year of high school. All i can do now is work for my time to have a future. I would also tell myself that only i could make it happen. That nothing is just going to be handed to me. Make something of yourself for years to come. Only you can make it happen.

KNowing what i know now, I would go back and reevaluate my options and think hard about goingto a military school. It was much harder than i thought it would be. I would tell me self to think about going to different school instead of sticking with the first one i got accepted to. College is not a joke nor playing matter. It should be taking seriously and not as a game. I would make sure i didnt play around on my finals and graduation test so i can get into a good school.

I would tell myself not to count on the plans that I made back then, because the experiences that you will go through will change you as a person and what you feel is important now will change as you discover who you are.
