Pick one thing and stick with it.

While in high school I had no drive to particitpate in school and I basically did the required work to just get by. If I could go back and tell myself anything with the knowledge I have now, I would say to not worry, things are going to get better. At that age I do not think that anyone, even my own self from the future, could tell me something to get me motivated to work for school mainly because I always fell back on the idea that I was only going to a community college. Nevertheless it would make my life as a college student much easier if I had bitten the bullet and learned how to write a proper essay back when life was not so hectic instead of trying to learn how to do so when real responsiblities are required to live. Knowing this, I would not waste this opportunity to speak to myself with words of wisdom and tell myself to work for the sake of knowledge not for the grades.

I would tell myself to explore the school much more quickly by taking a tour and talking with students and staff. By doing these things I would have been able to get involved in so many things that interested me as soon as possible. Not knowing these things mean you often realize them too late. Two years goes by so quickly so I would encourage myself to get started right away. I would tell myself to take advantage of everything that Sierra College offers such as tutoring, writing center, honors societies, clubs, internships, and so much more.

I always say to myself that if I could go back, I would do many different in my life. If I could go back as a high school senior, I will study hard to complete all the reqiurment. Also, I would take some classes that transfer to the college, because I would have more free time in high school than the college. That all I want to do.

The best advice I could give to myself is take an education now rather than later. I am running into many different problems as an older student. I may not be able to pay off my bills. I am having problems for achieving a bachelors degree. Public funding is getting cut faster and faster every day. Taxes need to be increased on the rich. This unjust war needs to end to help people domestically. Replublicans are taking advantage of our system. Therefore, the best possible advice I could give to myself is, "take an education while you can get it."
