I ask myself this question all the time lol..... I would be more involved with groups and play more sports. I only played freshman baseball then I worked throughout my high school tenure. Also, I would focus more on my grades. Coming out of high school, my grades didn't meet a lot of colleges I applied to so I went to a community college my freshman year in college.

This is a great question that can be analyzed from many different angles and one that I've thought of personally many times. Without question the one thing over any other thing I would go back and change about high school would be to be a better, more disciplined student. Learning, comprehension and aptitude were never issues for me the way that time management, prioritization and discipline were as a teen. Having better grades in High School would've almost certainly translated into better financial aid packages at more prestigious Universities and a lower overall amount of loans that needed to be repaid. Fortunately, I was able to learn from mistakes that I made in my teenage years and complete both a Bachelor and MBA while climbing the professional ladder, but the path could certainly have been easier.
Given that you've already finished High School I would now focus on identifying the career path you want learning the things required to get you there. It's important for you to prioritize your development but also to be patient and not expect success or gratification to come overnight. Embrace challenges, continue learning, and accept additional responsibility wherever you can to prove your worth and things will work out for you.

Hello Beatrice - Glad to see that you finished high school too. As I look back, I don't think there is anything I would do differently, as those experiences made me who I am today. I would recommend that you focus on today, and things that can make a difference in your future. Determine what you want to be doing 1, 5, 10, and even 15 years from now. Figure out the steps you need to take to get there, and be laser focused on them as your top priorities. Go after things that really push you outside of your comfort zone, knowing that it is ok to fail.
