For the last little bit I have been majorly struggling on what I wanted to do after high School. But then I had a long talk with my parents and realized that it’s ok to struggle a little bit, there are always people there to help me. Graduating and starting your life is really terrifying especially if you’re like me and have no idea what your path in life is all about. The strategies I am using and will continue to use forever are simple. I accept that I don’t know what the future holds, I work towards my short term goals which are doing the homework assignment I missed or studying for a test that is coming up. I get asked all the time ‘what School are you going to after high School?’... I never know what to say I am just awkward and say ‘I’m not sure yet’ or ‘I don’t really have one in mind yet’. People don’t always know what they want to do straight out of high school and there are many options for you. You can stay home and get a job, try to earn some money. Another option is you can travel if you have money saved up. Or even take a year off, work full time for that year and if you still have no clue what you would like to do? Travel! One of my biggest dreams is to travel to world, I want to go to every country and just live my life like that. Obviously you can’t travel forever, I believe travelling will help you maybe find a passion or a different point of view of your life, I’m hoping something will just click or I will see something that I’m driven towards that will help me find my career path.
It’s very hard to get a handle on things these days if you have no idea what you want to do. Maybe you just haven’t found your passion yet and that’s alright not everyone has yet! I certainly haven’t, I’m graduating soon and my life is going to start, my real life. I’m not going to see my best friends everyday in Spanish class or choir class, there’s no more signing up for flex class with Mrs.C I will be working and traveling and figuring out my life my way. If you’re scared to leave high School like me or have not a clue what you want to do after you graduate, talk to your sibling or family or friend they understand the struggles of graduating and how terrifying it is. There are always options for everyone that will help you get through this difficult time. Sophia Ross
