FINal Advice From Alejandro
Any tips for senior year?
I'd say enjoy it while it last’s, while I’m not sure if school will reopen due to COVID-19, be sure to take advantage of those zoom calls and realize that it may likely be the last times you will talk with your ER classmates. Also, try to figure out what it is you really want to do after high school early in the year so you’re not scrambling in the end trying to figure it out.
After high school should I go to community college or a university?
While that question depends on your circumstances, I’d say if you like to save money go to a community college and then transfer to a university. However, don’t let funds stop you from not going on your dream paths, sign up for scholarships, and take advantage of the resources that El Rancho has to offer. There’s a lot of money out there that could be yours, you just need to reach out for it.
How can I become successful?
Set short and long term goals for yourself, work hard and be consistent. Always strive to be the best in no matter what it is you do, with a mindset like that you’ll get anywhere you want. Lastly, be kind, people will always remember what kind of person you were and how you made them feel. Your reputation goes a long way.
How can I become a better person?
Since this is a deeper topic, I’ll say this. Learn to accept yourself for who you are. Realize and accept that all your mistakes are no longer in the present and know that while you can’t change your past, you can certainly change your future. Lastly, be respectful of others and yourself and you will definitely see self-improvement.
