Work Ethic After High School

High school administrations care about the well being of their students. They aim to guide the students in a way that will prepare them for the future ahead of each student. Thus administrations of high school have certain requirements that students must finish before graduating. There is one requirement that is commonly debated by high school administration and students, this topic being community service. Community service should not be required in order to graduate from high school since forcing students to volunteer leads to false information on their records, forcing students to do so does not mean that they will continue doing community service after they graduate, and it does not mean the student will mature.

Although community service is a great way to give back to the community, it has been tainted by its use as a requirement for high school graduates. Forcing volunteer work should be recognized for more than just a bare minimum, is unfair to those who have other obligations and provides no lasting benefit to the students. Many people and schools believe that making community service not optional for receiving a diploma could only benefit the students it’s required of but in a way it’s more harmful than helpful.

Community service is about helping people who are in need. we should pick if we want to help, not be forced to do it because we need it to graduate. That is not the point of helping people. Community service takes a lot of time. Students already have to much to do. Community service will take time away form more important things. Although some people have argued that community service should be required, closer examination will show that it should be the students choice and students all ready have enough things to do. High schools should not require community service to graduate.

In the article “Blue-Collar Boomers Take Work Ethic to College” (2008), Libby Sander, a reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education, argues that there is a sharp increase in the age of the average student at American colleges, and that these institutions are best positioned to adapt themselves to be more supportive of this changing demographic. Sanders supports her claims by showing that 41 percent of the 55 and older population according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics will still be in the workforce, many of whom will use the college experience to acquire the skills they need to change careers or keep the ones they have. And by providing anecdotes and testimonials from older students like electrician David Cox who is using his new education

The actions that are made following High School are huge and they greatly impact the future of your life. We can attend college, enlist in the military, or go straight into the workforce.

It is strongly suggested to go right on to college after high school. However, in some cases, it can be a good choice to take a year or more off from school. Most the time, young adults do not know what they want to do after high school, much less know what they want to study at college. Nevertheless, high school graduates should be required to take a year off to think about their academic direction and to get working experience to save enough money to pay for college tuition.

The GPA does not define the work ethic that I could perform in a job. It is difficult balancing family and getting an education. I am the person who cares for my mom and takes her to her doctor appointments, gets her medication, and makes sure she is okay when I am not with her. I have six other siblings, but they are too busy with their own families to take my mom to her doctor appointments or even get her medications. Whenever I am unable to take my mom to her appointments or when I am not with her at home, I get disciplined by my family because I am at college instead of making my mom the priority. Even though my mother has told me, again and again, to get my education first and she could be last, I cannot abandon her. This has caused me

Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get

The advice I would give to someone starting their high school career would be to come on time, everyday until schools out. Don’t give up, and stop going to school. Try your best to stay on track, and on task. Ignore your friends if they’re distracting you, or if they’re just encouraging you to sluff. Stay out of drama, and definitely don’t sluff. Don’t procrastinate, and try not to fall behind, Use your time wisely.
