When I was in high school, I would hang out with my friends and they didn’t like to do their school work so I wouldn’t do mine. We would go hang out or sleep in class. I thought that I was cool because everyone knew who I was and would invite me to parties. I started to fail most of my classes and get into trouble because of the type of people that I chose to socialize with. I would tell jokes in class about the teacher and get sent to the office.
When I went to the youth center at age 14 I had to take my schooling a lot more seriously. I was way behind in my work and my credits were really low for the grade that I was supposed to be in. I was told that I would not graduate until 1999, and I would be 18 in 1998 which was when I should finish. But because of being a slacker in class, I decided to get my GED and try to do the work asked of me.

But I got out of the youth center and went back to high school. My outlook on the people that I hung out with had changed, and I paid more attention to my work and teacher’s lectures. But I got in trouble with the law again and ended up in the youth center one last time.

life would be graduation. For many people, graduating from high school is an objective. It takes a lot of time, effort, and determination to accomplish that goal.

In the long run, graduating opens a lot of opportunities for people to thrive.
I can almost reminisce the day as if it was yesterday. I was sitting in bed like any other school day. It seemed

During our lives, most of us have hated getting up early. Whether we as humans enjoy mornings or not, we’re always looking forward to that unforgettable day.

It is often believed that during high school, everyone changes, wither it’s in a good way or a bad way, we all change.

It was the beginning of senior year, when we had re-tryouts for the cheer team. I was nervous when the try-out day came along, but I had confidence in myself. I was waiting in the try-out line
if the students in high school are thinking about going to the next level after graduation? Its defiantly one of the best ideas to make and that’s from my own personal experience. College isn’t for everyone; we all know that saying. But what people don’t understand is how far they can grow in your dreams and careers in the future. Transitioning from high school to college is a big step forward, even though; most students aren’t ready for college but they have amazing high schools that give them everything

I 've learned that college has some similarities to high school but overall, it is a completely different atmosphere. Entering college, you will see a major change in the way that you are treated. Unlike high school, you are treated as an adult. Your professors give you the responsibility that you never had before, such as doing your homework or not, allowing you to leave
