Not that far Away

Today, my school had what is called "Life After High School" in which previous students would tell you about their post-secondary experiences and give you advice. Well, i was excited because i wanted to hear more about what post-secondary was like and an insight on how to make it through those years. My class went to the presentation along with many other students and we learned alot. There was no one representing the University that i want to go to, but that did not matter. In many ways i was prepared for post-secondary, but in some ways i do not think i am. I guess money for tuition would be one of them. Thinking about the future; it seems a long time away when in realty it is not. The future is constantly occurring and time now a days are moving fast. And as a senior in high school now i am staring to realize that cracking down on my plans and making them a reality should start happening from now rather than when i graduate. There is a lot to think about that can make you anxious or nervous. There is transportation, tuition, books, food, you education, and the school itself. Post-secondary is a big jump from high school because the teachers and the atmosphere are not the same. Sometimes, you might wish it were, but there is a reason why they are not and it actually benefits you in the end. The atmosphere of a university and the teachers provide you with an insight on how the real world is. I do not know about you, but i rather have an idea of how the real world is rather than have the same high school routine repeat again. Skipping, procrastination are examples of what can hold you back in post-secondary if you bring it from high school into post-secondary. It is so important to prepare ourselves. There is only so much that one can explain to you who has been to post-secondary, but it is up to you to listen and be willing to prepare yourself and make your years in school count for something. After all, you are paying to be in that class so put your money into good use and learn. That is what i plan to do.
