Take Initiative Post High School
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010The whole high school graduation day fever is over. For the past few days you were occupied with the arrangements and preparations for this big day in life. Since the day you passed your kindergarten graduation, your parents were waiting for the moment when you will in your high school and they will see you in again in graduation robe, but this time high school graduation cap and gown. With your hard work and perseverance you have made their dream come true.
Now you are back home, all alone, your parents are in office and your little sis is in school. You are there in the house and spend your time talking or chatting to your friends on net. In the evening you will go for a walk or will work out in gym. The time to sleep and the day ends forever. You wake up the next day and follow the routine mechanically. There are moments when you look at your high school graduation photographs where you see yourself in high school graduation caps and high school graduation gown. These photographs are the only thing in life to remember and be happy as it is your biggest achievement till date. Slowly you will realize that you and parents will treat the event of your high school graduation ceremony casually. The zeal and enthusiasm which was there earlier has vanished now. The reason is not that they don’t love you anymore or that they don’t respect your achievement.
Life is like flowing water. Life should not stop for one thing rather it should create moment and occasions and should be full of occasions. It means that even you should move ahead and prepare yourself for a new challenge and make it an accomplishment. Try to add success and achievements, one after the other. This will give you new reasons to smile and celebrate. No one is asking you to forget your past milestones. Milestones are a means to show direction ahead. Take inspiration from the past and create something new in the future.
You can take up a new course for higher studies. Do a professional course that can fetch you a job. If you do not want to study further then you take up a job depending on your eligibility. There are many jobs available for graduates and that too with a good salary. It is your life and you should take the responsibility of making it better and meaningful. Anyone can just give you suggestions and guidance about do’s and don’ts of life. It depends on you whether you hear to it or let go.
If you really want to add moments after moments to celebrate in your life, then implement what other has to advice you. Take your seriously and show the world how much potential you have and what all you can do.
Parents will be happy and more than ever they will accept you to bring home more and more accolades and trophies and medals and certificates.
