Advice

If I knew than what I knew now many things would be a whole lot different. You live and learn and that is why people make mistakes. Making mistakes happens to everyone so most of the time it is no big deal. Growing up I have lived with only my mother and have a father I have not seen since I was little who does not pay child support at all. Growing up income in my household was not always what it was suppose to be. My mother had raised me very well and was able to maintain a job and pay for everything as a single parent. Now that I am older I go out more and do more things that are costly.

Clothes now a days are a lot more money and unfortunately it is not that easy to just go get a new outfit whenever I want even now. Getting a steady job should have been the first thing I did two years ago. I was old enough to be employed but i just did not want to work. Looking back at what I have now does not make me mad but it does make me realize that I should have kept the few jobs that I have had. If I have kept the job looking at it now I would have so much money saved up. Thankfully my mother has helped me throughout me not having a job but sometimes it makes me wana slap myself in the face for being so stupid.

Academically is another thing i would have give myself advice on. I never knew how hard it was to get into college and that grades were so important. Coming from a mom that was not so strict I was never push to do really good because not failing was okay in her book. Mostly maintain B's and some C's I managed to keep my grades up somewhat and than they finally rose. If I had did good since day one and actually tried a litle harder I know I could of done better. I am happy where I am at now at with the school I will be attending but it makes me realize If i did better I could have gone to my top school or accepted to some that I did not get in to.

SATS were a long and hard test. I took courses on them before the test and did not study. If I had studied my grade mostly would have been harder. The questions were the same type of equations and sentences that if I had studied I could have did better. I did not push myself as much as I could and that was my mistake. Also a main thing I would change is to stay in school sports freshman year I did three sports and they years after I slowly quit them all. I don't know exactly why I quit but now I regret it and wish I never did.
