That way you get a taste of high school and what is to come. This is your graduation from a kid to a teen as well as a scholarly difference. In high school, you can go for many different sports, intellectual clubs like math and debating, ski clubs and of course, band! If you participate in your chosen field, there are awards you can earn for excellence in your sport or academic club. Letterman jackets and sweaters are but one example.
These are a few of the examples of the achievement awards, which you can earn in your high school years. If you are good enough, you can not only get these awards but also work for and apply for scholarships to further your education with and make it easier on your student loans, and your parents!
I have to say I enjoyed my high school years, the fun with friends and the status over the “younger grades”. I remember lording it over the new comers to the younger grades… I am sure most of us have that experience on one end or the other of the spectrum.
However, we are all working for one thing, that piece of paper that says, “I did it!” Your high school diploma. It can be a task for those of us who did actually have to work to get through school, but it is all the better when you get that sheepskin of completion!
After four years of high school, you have taken all the tests, passed the hurdles and now you are more than ready for graduation day. The award ceremonies are usually some time in the Junior year, to spur you on to better things in your senior year. By graduation, you have received any awards you are due including your letterman jacket or sweater for your accomplishments in school. These are long before diploma day and are certainly marks of accomplishment. Enjoy your young days, especially school you will make friends and get skills that will last you a lifetime,
