High School Graduation Most people rejoice when they graduate because they finished their high schools. Also, people will consider and treat them as adults, but I was not one of them. I was sad when I graduated from high school because I lost my direction and aim in life. I was saying myself to myself, “just graduate from high school and everything will be ok”. After I graduated, I did not know what to do or where to go and that was because the last year in high school, I applied to the wrong university…

However, it is the lessons learned and experiences gained during these trivial jobs during adolescence that can help pave a path to a bright future with many opportunities in different situations such as schooling and higher employment (Mckechine, 2013).

School is a wonderful place where students can gain knowledge about multifarious subjects. School is also a center of their lives due to the time they spent there.

Trade School Throughout middle school, I remember my teachers telling the me, “If you study hard and go to college you’ll have a nice, well paid, job waiting for you after you graduate.” This was not taught as a suggestion or an option, but as a fact. As if this was the only way to be successful in life.
