I had learned the classes, the students and the…

As it is I am the only person in my immediate family to graduate with a high school diploma. That was really important to my mother and father. At the time I just assumed that was the norm. My mom did go back and get her GED which really showed me it is never too late to still learn. My father was a high school drop but still a very smart man. He could fix anything and was just a natural problem solver. I was the only child born from my mother and father. My father went on to have three more…

This was the first stepping stone to further my long term goals in my career path. When I realized my situation, I knew my move to Florida was a big mistake. I was…

A college education is a great thing to have but it is not necessary. People can have a living with only a high-school diploma.

your average high school diploma or a set of skills is the key to be successful. It’s time to stop pushing all of our students to go to college, and instead push them towards the path that is right for them.(Jillian Gordon).

Some believe that the associates will be equal to a high school diploma in the future and that the education you need to get a good job would require a higher form of education but…

Going to school has been and continues to be a rewarding part of my life as I’ve been able to study and learn in different settings, take part in extracurricular activities and discover what my likes and dislikes are pertaining to school.
