LIFE AFTER SCHOOL
Essay – 400 words
This is my senior and final year in Osceola High School. After high school is going to be
a lot of responsibilities, I must take care of. I remember when I was younger, I couldn’t
wait till graduating high school, but then I realized there was way more to come after
high school. This is the biggest part of my life right now. I have to decide on what
college I want to go to and what do I really want to do as my career job. I’m not positive
on what I want to major in. There are so many careers to choose from but there are very
few I’m interested in. Before my senior year ends I need to make sure I know what I
want to go to college for so I can be focused on that one thing. I also have to know
which college is best for me to get my education from for my career job. I’ve been
talking to my friends and guidance counselors about careers and colleges that might be
best for me. But every time we speak I get more confused than I already am about my
life after college. So therefore I’m going to have to do research on the best colleges for
me and good careers that interest me and be able to support my living. I want my life
after high school to be successful. I don’t want to be a person struggling in life having to
worry about the next job. That’s why I’m deciding to go to college to get a better
education and find a career job that I will have a passion for. Especially the way the
economy is right now I think whoever has the opportunity to go to college should take
it. If a person graduates high school and doesn’t go to college they won’t be as
successful as a person who went to college to get education to better themselves in the
long run. By doing this research paper it has me thinking on what I really need to do
after high school. This is where I’m going to have to do things on my own. I know it’s
going to be hard, but I have to stay focused and do what I have to do so I can be a
successful person in life.
