10 Things I wish I Knew
One of the things I wish I would have been told the quick rate at which time elapses. Time ran in a mysterious way and I felt that I did not do all the things that I wanted to do. I felt that I did not utilize my time properly in college and the moment I started getting very serious with the education was when time just diminished and High School time just went before me.
Secondly, I wish someone advised me on what High School education is all about so that I could integrate my wishes in my studies. I could not figure out the reality of High School because all the things I wished to do such as avoiding the cold and joining music club were limited with time. I further thought that I would visit many places in School but time as well as school programs could not allow me to.
Additionally, I wish I was advised to start preparing earlier so that I could have gotten the best results possible but the reality hit me on the face. I would always tell myself that examinations are not anywhere near and that I would begin my studies when exams are just around the corner. My late preparation for examinations turned out sour because I did not get the best results I ever wished for.
Furthermore, I was blatantly honest with myself because I could do something in High School simply because someone else was doing but not because I genuinely loved the acts. Groups and most of the discussions I engaged myself into were not constructive as they seemed while I was in high School.
I also wished someone would have advised me to relax my brain as a way of improving my mental health through relation. I wish I knew how to organize myself and relax before handling assignments or tests. Panicking and worries obscured my possible great results in High school.
I regret not finding someone to advise me to set goals and work towards achieving them. I lacked commitment and determination because there was no one to show me the right direction to follow. I think lack of set goals was a big problem in achieving greater success in High school.
I needed assurance that I was in the best place at the right time so that I could literally fall in love with the school. I was not that happy in high school and being in it was really heart breaking and demoralizing. I would have accepted that I was an actual student put in the right place so that I could happily adapt and enjoy my presence in the institution.
Importantly, I wish I had a specific teacher who knew me beyond the classroom so that I would have gotten the best recommendation that truly describes what I am. Perhaps the teacher would have spoken holistically and directly about me without writing the recommendation lightly.
I also wish some advised me to prepare before attending the High School interview due to my uninformed appearance for the interview. The interview encounter was indeed agonizingly awkward because I could not even answer simple questions like why I chose the institution I applied for my studies.
Lastly, I wish I was advised to choose a trusted friend amongst the teachers and students whom I would share my challenges and stress with. Probably the friends would have acted as outlets and cool me off whenever I was troubled.
