The similarities that high school and life after high school holds is that life continues on. Life continues on however the only difference is you are no longer required to go to school, it becomes a choice. With that said, some graduated students continue on through to college,etc. to better themselves and some just stick around the same city not really doing anything that much different from they did back then in high school. Once you graduate high school you may leave the school however something that will forever stick is that within life you are constantly on a schedule, just like a schedule that a high school assigns for you. I say this because in one way or another life brings on its schedules such as when to wake up, when to go to work, when to pick up your kids and so on.
A primary difference between high school and life after high school is well obviously you are no longer attending a school by law, other than that life after high school means that reality really kicks in. Reality kicks in because assuming you graduate high school most are around the ages of 18 and 19 that are preparing to move on, have to provide on their own and just basically away from mom and dad. The problem would be if you couldn't do any of this though then reality takes its tole on you. You are no longer being told what to do and when to do it as much because now you are legally responsible for your own life and what you choose to do with it. Just the though let alone seems very overwhelming therefore like I previously wrote in this post, some people just don't know how to handle responsibility and it takes effect on there lifestyle overall.
To be able to balance the things you have to do over the things you want to do takes some practice but if you are able to get your daily routine down and stay disciplined enough to know what is business and what is pleasure then I feel that you could be a successful person if you choose to be. Holding down a job isn't always enjoyable but who else is going to feed you? Paying bills and giving away hard earned money for insurance and other things like that isn't fun but who is going to do that for you? Sometimes you just need to make sacrifices in life in order to earn independence and experience the fun that comes with living on your own.
As I move on and away from the high school life, I feel scared about the things that are to come but I know as much fear there is that I'm feeling there is an equal amount of excitement. I would say that when it comes down to it, I tend to be a very disciplined individual because I know I need to start really buckling down and taking more control of my life for that's how it's going to be from graduation day and on...
