It’s so surreal to think that I’ll be graduating high school
in less than 8 months. It seems like not that long ago I was in 8th
grade anticipating the start of high school and now I’m getting ready to move
out and start a career and I almost don’t believe that it’s happening. While I
am trying to convince myself that I’m ready and totally prepared, I’m probably
not and it’s terrifying.
I plan on going to school out of state, but the community
college I want to attend requires me to be a resident of the state before I can
enroll, so I’ll have to take a year off after I graduate and build residency first.
This is what my mom did, and she never went back to school after the year off
and in the back of my mind I’m worried that I’ll do the same. I don’t even
really know how I’m going to move since my family is making it basically
impossible to leave their house. I can’t take my car out of state, and they’re
only willing to help me out with tuition if I go to UNR, which doesn’t have the
funeral service science program I need. I’m trying to save up my money, but my
expenses leave little wiggle room for any kind of savings. It’s just very
frustrating and I’ve been trying to pick up as many hours at work as I can to
save up, but that interferes with school and then my grades go down.
I think people under estimate how hard it is to be a high
school senior with a full time job. It sucks.
