What Comes Next?

What comes next? That’s the million-dollar question

Many teens ask themselves this question everyday.

We study hard in hopes that we’ll get a promising and well-paying job that we’ll enjoy.

But will we? What will really happen when we get out of school?

Even if we get straight As does that promise us a well-paying and enjoyable career? I think that it should.

But the reality is even if you get a PhD, you aren’t guaranteed success, or even happiness. You get a piece a piece of paper saying that you have successfully glided through high school and university.

However, my opinion is that even if you have a PhD or a Masters degree and still don’t know where to go, that piece of paper might become something you will look back on later in your life as one of the biggest things that you’ve ever accomplished.

So, even if you are a well-educated person stuck in a rough place, that doesn’t mean that you have accomplished nothing in your life.

You have accomplished something that most people only dream of.

About me: I go to South Secondary School in London, ON and I have two younger siblings. I have always been a movie guy. Whenever my friends call or text me to go for a walk or to meet up at the school my only response is “Nope. Movie or bust!” Needless to say I usually get my way! But movies aren’t the only thing I enjoy. In the summer I love to bike with my friends down to the Thames River and ride along the trails. The sights and the entire ride are always beautiful. I know, right? How often do you come across a teenage guy who uses the word beautiful when not talking about that hottie across the hall? But there’s more weirdness than that! I also like to bake and listen to old music. OMG! You’ve just entered the Twilight Zone! Anyway, hopefully you’ll enjoy my new posts! Remember to leave feedback and comments at the bottom! – Dylan.
