Continual Growth in Life After High School

Celebrating My High School Journey

First off, I have to thank everyone that has helped me achieve the goals that have made me become the person I am today. Especially, my friends, faculty members, teachers, and my parents. If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here right now. Anyways, congratulations to everyone that has survived high school and made it to graduation. My high school years overall was a great experience. I remember the times I had with my friends. We would spend time joking around in class that made it enjoyable for me. However, I’m sure everyone here had their own way to find high school enjoyable. There were also times when I would procrastinate and stress over completing projects last minute. Even though time here was full of ups and downs everything worked out in the end and I have no regrets.

Your four years of stressing over upcoming tests, staying up late writing papers, and dealing with people, in general, are now over! To think you had to do all that for a piece of paper that just says you graduated. However, your journey is not over, in fact, this is only the beginning. In this coming of age, you have now earned the right to choose your own path and make your own decisions. With maturity comes much responsibility. You need to make sure that you don’t do anything that can get you in trouble because now you don’t have people watching your back 24/7 making sure you do anything wrong. Some of you might stop here to start getting your life in order, and some of you may plan on pursuing higher education. This being college or finding something new you want to experience such as a trade school. Graduating high school opens up a new chapter in your life.

Embracing New Beginnings After Graduation

Even after graduating high school the learning never stops. There is always something new that can be learned. As a student, try to be proactive and try new things. If your stuck and don’t know what to do after high school take time to truly understand yourself and figure out what you want in life. You may also face obstacles throughout your journey but don't get discouraged because nothing is impossible. At times you might feel frustrated but you should always keep moving forward. Remember you can always rely on your friends and family because everyone has experienced some sort of problem in their life where they needed help from others.
