In life, the opportunity to erase the mistakes of the past and start over doesn't truly occur. Typically, your actions result in consequences, whether they are good or bad. If I had the chance to to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, without any doubt in my soul, I would. I would say "Pursue the career of your dreams NOW, time will pass wether you ACT now or later. Life's greater advantages are in the action of NOW!" I made the decision to attend Rasmussen college to obtain Health Information Technician Associate’s Degree. I recall making that decision. I remember that sunny dry day and how I was filled with a deep sense of urgency. My sister and I were in a discussion on her future. She was very conflicted on what to do for a college degree. I wasn't sure if it was better to work hard for risky dreams or play it safe with something you knew that would be useful. It really got me think about how to shape my own destiny. I found myself faced with making a decision as degree-holder!

Look into schools and professions first. Decide what I want to do, then attend college. This way I would not be in the spot I am now with student loan debt.
