Every year at Dublin High School, once the senior class graduates, they must make decisions on their own, which may affect the rest of their lives. Once the seniors graduate, they are mainly given two options, which are either to go and find a job, or head to college. Even though they mainly just have two options, there are still an infinite amount of outcomes that may result from either decision.
“I actually feel a bit prepared for college” explains Collin Wellman, a senior at Dublin High, “ I have already finished a lot of my college applications, have my standardized tests done, and already know what I want to major in.”
Preparing for college is not an easy thing. Most students would want to apply to multiple colleges, and doing so, requires a lot of work, especially with all of the other things the students are currently doing, such as extracurriculars, standardized tests, even school.
“I don’t feel very prepared at all,” Winnie Liu, another senior at Dublin High explains, “College applications are just way too frustrating, and I’ve barely even gotten started on any of them.” Winnie Liu is applying to seventeen different schools for college.
After high school, students can do virtually anything. Students like Jon Ng, another senior at DHS go out and pursue their goals.
“I want to go to art school and become an Illustrator,” Ng explains.
Once high school is finished, students are given the freedom to pursue anything that they wish.
“I’m not too set on what I’ll be doing, but I know it’ll be some kind of field in chemistry, I like chemistry,” explains Wellman.
High school is an opportunity to learn and find out what you possibly would want to do in your future, so, what do you want to do after high school.
