“There are a lot of people out there with very different ideologies and ways of seeing the world. And I didn’t see that until college. It’s taken a lot for me to learn to be respectful and see where their ideas come from.”
Match High School’s alumni panels continue today with advice for our 12th grade students on the transition to college and the college experience. #edthataddsup

“Be patient with yourself. You don’t have to know what you want to do right away, you can change your major. Just find a stepping stone and work your way up, improve yourself.” #edthataddsup
“It’s all about selfcare and finding balance between academics and other things. In college it’s different, if you fall behind, it can be hard to catch up. If you have breaks, stay on campus around other students to get work done, get ahead.” #edthataddsup
“One thing I’m most definitely proud of is joining the military. It was a very difficult decision…I learned a lot, experienced a lot. It put me on a better path to discover what I really want to do.” #edthataddsup
