We had finally completed high school and were ready to move on to the next step in our life: college. The moment the head master of my school had announced us as the graduating class of 2011, we all tossed our caps into the air and we were happier than ever. As soon as we paraded out of the ceremony, sadness began to emerge. We were saddened because most of us were moving on to different colleges and we were not going to be able to enjoy each other’s company everyday like we did in high school.

Kelly Professor Brantley English 1102-H2 21 April 2011 Gap Year: Too Big of a Gap? In today’s society, the acceptable thing to do after high school graduation has always been to take the summer off from school, then enter into college the following fall. Once college is completed, the student immediately enters the workplace and begins a career. As of late, however, an increasing number of students are rejecting this idea and taking a year off from school in the year between senior year of high school and freshman year in college. Students may take this year-long break from school to work to save up enough money for college, intern or volunteer for the career they want to pursue, or travel the world.
To perform your job correctly, and safely, you as employees must willingly engage in all aspects of these processes. Body I. Most people do not describe their jobs as dangerous. But, almost every occupational task performed on the job, has safety steps, warnings or cautions for good reasons. A.
Research has shown that frequently changing schools has a cumulative effect on academics, often putting a child who moves frequently a year or more behind students who do not move as much. (Education Week, 2004) Military students also face the stress of reconnecting with a new community and classmates every time they move.

Young and middle aged adults are the ones who take care of and provide for senior adults and youth, once the middle aged adults reach late adulthood they go through a time called a mid life crisis. This happens when people hit retirement from their careers. Retirement signifies the end of their productive role in society, and severing ties with colleagues and work associates. This is when a life of isolation starts to set in which is very difficult on most people.
He felt little self-worth. He didn’t like the person he was and felt ashamed, so he tried even more desperately to change. As Charlie got smarter each day, his peers began to feel uneasy.

Some students graduate high school and want a break from studying, or essentially they want to party. Others have families who want them to keep studying and send them to college anyway, where the students end up failing class and realizing they are wasting their time, therefore they drop out of college. Handling family issues and college life is not easy. Some students have a lot of family issues sometimes dealing with their parents. Some students decide to go back to college after they are married and have kids, but this can be difficult.
The world they have been dreaming suddenly becomes a reality and soon they start meeting new people and realizing new things. However they soon see that not everything is easy and fun. New friends start distracting and pulling them away from school, and pretty soon grades start to fall and classes end up being failed.
