Preparing For School
I know it is depressing for children to be thinking about school (parents love it), but for many of you, you are starting a new journey. Some are going on to the Junior High, others High School, and still others Freshman at College. Wow, what an adjustment.
You go from the oldest kid in the school, to the youngest. You start taking on responsibility. Junior High means teenage years. High School means that you have to start challenging yourself to find what you like to do.
College means making decisions on your own. You can chose not to get out of bed and get to that 8am class. You can party all night. All of these are choices. But what is the conclusion of all of those decisions, you drop out and either have to find a job or join the military.
I dropped out and tried working. I then saw no opportunities their, so I joined the Navy. The second time I went to college I did not let the opportunity pass me by. I stayed for my Masters and love what I am doing today.
So please, enjoy your summer, but get prepared for that next step in your life. It will be the most important step so far.
