As a person about to graduate from college, I am looking back at my high school graduation.  Get ready for change.  It will be great.  Take in each moment because these are the days to remember.  Have fun and walk with pride of all you have accomplished.

Most of the students from high school are lack of self-confidence,they are afraid of being away from their parents as well as new places and new faces they are going to encounter as well as the challenges of the courses that preparatory for their professions someday!More thesis, homeworks,projects and alot of school works in which they have fatigue during high school!But the most challenging that they don't know is it is very enjoyable being in college as we they will learn how to become independent and makes many decisions for themselves away from home!

I have been to 7 different schools and I have just recently graduated....FINALLY!!  It was hard because you have to start over each time and you miss what you left behind but I saw every move as an opportunity.  Nobody knows who you are or anything about you.  You get to start fresh!!  The first few weeks can be a Lil shakey but just be yourself...that's the only way you know for sure that you have made TRUE friends...Good Luck!!  It will all work out, I promise!!

You'll be fine.  It's normal to freak out about something you've never done before.  They wouldn't have chosen you if they didn't think you could do it.  You'll love it, you'll be great at it, and you'll make a lot of money when you graduate.  You'll be fine.  Just get you and your children into a routine now so that it's easier when school starts.  The school should have a Student Services Representative/counselor/tutor who can help you if you do encounter any problems.  Don't forget to communicate with your professors, get your assignments done way early so you don't fall behind, and have fun!

well, i graduated two years ago, and my biggest fear was what was going to happen once i was out.    \n\nhaving to get a real job, go to school, get the money to do so, and eventually move out.\n\nin high school, everything is given to you, once your out, if you dont do it, it wont get done.

I would think long and hard before I decided to graduate early. There are some people it's right for, but they are few and far between. \n\nThe people I've known who did that were notably emotionally behind their peers in college. A lot happens in your senior year. People change a lot in those last few months. The pressure of grades is off once you're accepted to college. The pettiness of teenagers starts fading once they realize it's almost over. It doesn't seem as important to pick on each other, and they start getting nostalgic for the high school days that are ending. This frees everybody up to stop worrying, have fun, and mature a lot.\n\nThat said, what is college like... well, it's harder than high school. The work is harder, and so is the personal responsibility. There is no one to tell you to study, no one to tell you to go to class, no one to tell you that doing <insert bad decision here> is a really bad idea. Which is nice if you're ready to take on that responsibility yourself, but can get you really screwed up if you're not.\n\nThe nice thing about college is it's a fresh start. No one knows you, no one cares who you were in high school. Some of my best friends my freshman year were people that I never would have talked to/never would have talked to me. All the freshmen are nervous and unsure and pretty much all you have to do is say hi for them to latch onto you and be your friend. For the first week, anyway.\n\nThe bad thing is that you usually don't get any guidance unless you actively seek it. You may have to learn to be very assertive to get an idea of what classes you should be taking, what majors lead to what careers, whether you should do an internship and how to arrange it, pretty much everything. You can float through and hope to fall into a good job (which does happen to some people), but more often you'll just get lost if you aren't really motivated and self-directed.

High School take all the after school tutoring they offer, talk to your teachers, your counselors, you might graduate a year later, but it will be worth it. \n\nFrom what I have seen, the GED is actually harder than H.S. alone, I feel only the truly driven obtain their GED's to further there education. It is not a small feat in any respect.

Hi there.\n\nThe high school I went to was LAME!  However, being that I was a studious student, college was a breeze.  I'm now done with my Masters.  I received honors for all of my degrees.\n\nTexas, USA

Is it bad policy to answer a question with a question?  What feels right to you?  If you are feeling burned out from high school, then I would say take the break.  Try to find a job somewhere perhaps where you can be as involved in your field as possible (if possible!).  \n\nOtherwise, go straight to college, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.  Statistics strongly suggest that delaying your plans to college decreases (exponentially) the chances that you will go to college.  Ever.  There will be a million reasons why you'll delay "just another year", until the time is right.  \n\nAfter applying to colleges, I was convinced I wouldn't attend anywhere for at least a year.  I thought I would be better served in taking the time to "mature" and relax.  At the last second (well, about two weeks prior to the start of the college year) I made a sudden change and attended the college I was most interested in.  \n\nIt was, without a single doubt, the best decision I could have ever made.  I have a four-year degree in Psychology, and work now as a Human Resources Director for a company - a position I never would've had without the degree.  In looking back, I wonder if I had waited that year, as you are thinking about, would I have ever actually gone to college?  I guess in my heart I knew the answer before I asked the question . . . what is YOUR heart saying?\n\nHey good luck with this decision and with your career!

congrats on graduating!\n\ncollege is a big transition, especially if your school is far from home.  new place, new home, roommates, etc.  It's natural to be apprehensive, but don't let it inhibit you....I think you may later rejoice in college life and wonder how on earth you could have questioned it (this happens to me with big decisions/transitions).\n\nEnjoy college and life. Learn, explore, and grow!\n\nGood luck! I will be praying for you. :)

Seriously, if you dont tell, no one will know if you are going to school.  But, you have to keep your job to keep your H1 visa status, remember, no job = no income.  no income = no money to pay for school.
