  &nbsp; Time has a funny way of working things out. It can work in your favor....though some times it may seem like its preventing or holding you back. &nbsp; High school; during this time you live with your parents so you have a curfew, chores, a brother or sister to take care of when u come home, extra cicrucular activity(s) and homework.
Its stressful for a teenager during this time, now being in high school isn't always easy. It&nbsp;can be a good or awful expereince...in regards to finding friends, seeing how you get along with others,&nbsp;having your first boyfriend&nbsp;or girlfriend,&nbsp;making that&nbsp;grade, having to&nbsp;show ur report card to your parents. During this time you don't realize that your teachers and peers are trying to help you. Wheither you listen or not....what they say will&nbsp;forever stick&nbsp;in your mind.&nbsp;By time you get&nbsp;into your&nbsp;senior year and you start to apply to college, JC or&nbsp;a&nbsp;Job the pressures get greater&nbsp;from your&nbsp;love ones&nbsp;who know what its like out their in the&nbsp;"Real World", they want you to&nbsp;get out and do something productive. &nbsp; Now College/Job; On your own, away from mom and dad. Now you have to learn to do all for yourself with minium help. Yeah at first it seems a little overwhelming...but soon enough you get used to it. All that you learned in high school will apply to how u live on campus or your job atmoshpere.
All the friends that you had in high school, you may or may not keep in contact&nbsp;with them;&nbsp;their out their doing the same thing as you, but in another state/province. Its a new era for you...everything is so much bigger and better....the questions arises "will i fit in"? Instead of picking your friends, you get to be around such a&nbsp;diverse variety of&nbsp;people that you learn to acccept everyone for who they are, in return they accept you for being you &nbsp;Which is such a bonus, for you perosonally and those that work with you.
Being on campus or at work&nbsp;for&nbsp;serveral consistant&nbsp;years..you get to know and see everyone on a regular basics like you did when u were living at home with your fam. They know you, from the time you get their as a freshman who thought they were ready all that life had to offer to&nbsp;a sophmore who has&nbsp;grown for the last year to a&nbsp;junior&nbsp;who is getting&nbsp;trying to get right to a senior who is&nbsp;now prepared to go&nbsp;out their and be sucessful.&nbsp;They seen you at your worst, at ur peek they serve as your parents in a sense; ...making sure you get and stay on track with&nbsp;classes, grades and drop/add.
Just like an Angel, guiding you&nbsp;gently down a road of sucess.&nbsp;Everything else you do by yourself.&nbsp; But during this time, your not aware of all your learning out of the classroom that you never knew before, it sort of becomes the norm for you...so you do it unconsciously.
But when you get back to where ever you call home, you realize how much you have actually grown up and how much maturer you are now. Its a good feeling...and its preparing you for "life after college". &nbsp; Life After College/Promotion or better job offer: Hey no one said it was going to be easy to get a job right out of college/ Or adjusting to your new co-workers. Once again you have to make that transition from high school to college and now to the working or corparate world.&nbsp;Everything about you will&nbsp;gradually change; your attire away from work, your attitude on the job, the time you wake up till the time you come home. There will be no more rules or restrictions, no one to guide you through anything or tel l you how to live your life. Your social life will change new/old circle of friends will evolve now&nbsp;around working schedules and your weekends. Now&nbsp;the idea of coming home to&nbsp;that&nbsp;someone special or being around friends&nbsp;seems more appealing than it ever did before.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its time to&nbsp;think bigger and better. Things happen gradually, one day your going to wake up and be like....."its time for a change".
