Graduation

Junior year is said to be the hardest year of your high school career and right now I’m realizing it’s really true. We are all just working towards graduation and going off on our own. Whether our plan is college, military, working or traveling we all have a plan (or working on it) for when we get out. Everyone thinks that you have to go to college after high school but that’s far from true. My plan personally is to go to college to become a teacher but there are so many things you can do. It all depends on who you are and where you want to go in life.

If you do choose the path of college, right now you are freaking out about having everything you need to apply to colleges and being accepted. The thought of going off on your own to a big school and deciding what you want to do with your life can be very stressful. Trust me, I’m trying to figure out what classes I need to take for senior year so I can be accepted into college and it’s really hard. I’m not going to say you shouldn’t worry about it because it is a very big decision, but you don’t need to completely stress yourself out over it. You will be able to figure everything out, you just may take longer than others. Just do your research, figure out what you want, make sure you know what you need to do and you will be successful.

If you choose to do something other than college, that’s great too. For some people, college really isn’t for them. Some people want to travel the world before they go to college. Others want to go into the military. There are even some people who just want to work right out of school. I have friends who want to do so many different things and it’s great.

No matter what you choose for a path, as long as it’s what you want and makes you happy, it’s a great decision. We are all going off on our separate ways and I hope you all figure out what path that is.
