Coming out of high school, as a young, seventeen-year-old adolescent, I was faced with many new and unique decisions. Some were decisions that affected my immediate future, and others were decisions that had a drastic impact on my entire life and things in the distant future. Certainly I had made many important decisions while still in high school, some that may have been well beyond the decisions that many of my peers were being faced with, but these decisions seemed different.
Graduating and moving onward with life after high school not only affects those people who were already used to making tough choices, but also those who have been - more or less - spoon fed throughout their everyday lives. Circumstances that may have always seemed predetermined for young students, like how to spend your extra time (school sports, youth groups) and even the classes you take in school (requisites and prerequisites).
