Miami Dade College Top Questions

Giving that I was a student in high school who didn't worry much about school work or grades I would give myself an advice that if I were to go back in time I would be sure to take now. I would tell myself that better grades will lead you to a better future. In a high school seniors case that would be a better college which means a better reputation and education for my future career. I would also advice myself to concentrate more on school work rather than having fun with friends. I would have given this phrase much more thought: "work now, play later." If that's what I would have done as a high school senior I would have been in a better college and with a better chance at winning a very helpful scholarship.

Dear Self, you should apply to Florida International University and you should stay on campus and get incolved. You should also save as much money as possible, get a math tutor and learn how to drive now. Do not make the mistake that many collge freshmen do by partying too much and not studying. Also, stick to your morals no matter what.

To take chances and be open to new opportunities and activities that the campus provides. Don't go into it with just one career in mind because that is definitely subject to change. Have fun and form strong relationships with the professors and students. GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT!

If i had the opportunity to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, the most important advice I would give myself is to focus on my studies rather than the problems occuring around you. If you have school as your main and sole purpose, the rest will come easy. Many students, including myself, become overwhelmed as they try to juggle work, relationships, family and school all at the same time. Although it sounds impossible, school work is the most important thing, and if you are able to eestablish good habbits early, the same will follow as the years progress.

Save as much money as you can and make school one your ultimate priority. Get into a good study habit.

I f I were to advise myself as a high school senior once again, I would definately tell myself to not waste time at all. I would tell me to look up for universities, how I can apply to them, Getting good grades to keep a good gpa, and Enjoy it but with a lot of responsibility and determination, because that is key in order to have a successful college experience. I would also tell myself to read, read, read and to dedicate myself to my education to my best.

You are about to start the next chapter of your life, one that will be very important to your future. Do not waste this opportunity. If you allow yourself to absorb these next few years of your life in college, you will grow as a person more than you can imagine- mentally, intellectually and emotionally. Take the time to breathe in each experience and each person you meet along your journey. These people are your peers and your mentors and they will help you. Be wary of the few people who will bring you down. Evaluate your self worth and keep it in mind at all times. If you know what you are worth, you will not struggle with keeping your priorities in line. Make a goal for yourself and work towards it. You should never feel discouraged; nothing is impossible. Make sure everything you do will bring a positive outcome to your life. And most importantly, never lose sight of your dreams.

Knowing what I know about college life and making the transition, the advise I would give myself would be to follow your heart. Everything is possible. Just need to make the first step. The possibilities are endless of what you can accomplish with hard work and the right mentality. Seize the moment, don't put it off for later. Take each road in life as a learning opportunity. Take something good out of every situation. Don't give up...keeping making one step at a time, pretty soon you will come to the end of a road that says" welcome to your destination", right this way.

Step out of your own boundaries and take intellectually challenging electives. Take courses from different programs. It gives you insight on your own career and broadens your knowledge. Make college a memorable educational experience. The acquired knowledge will be with you forever.

Knowing what I know now after attending college I would tell myself to focus more on my books, studies, what I really saw myself doing and focus on doing great academically; moreover, I would try and take college courses while being in high school to educate myself more. There is so much that I could have done better; looking for more scholarships would be one, and trying to attend a better college/ university right out of high school that would permit me to be more independent as well. High school is such a breeze compared to the things you face in real life and I wish I would have taken advantage of the opportunities in being in high school, like activities, grades, clubs, and feild trips to different states.

The advice that I would give myself if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior would be to think thoroughly about what field it is that I see myself working in. I came to college with absolutely no idea of what I wanted to study and no intention of researching either. I figured that somehow the idea would magically come to me. I would emphasize strongly that college is nothing like high school. You really have to apply yourself to school and study hard. Cramming can work for some individuals but it is not the best method to take. Another great piece of advice would be to atend each and every single class, unless of course, an emergency arises. This specific problem happened to me. I had the idea that as long as I kept up with the material and did the mandatory assignments I would pass with flying colors. That was not the case and learned a tough lesson. There is a quote from Vernon Sanders Law that represents my struggle as a college freshman, "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards."
