I just went through the saaaame thing. The job market is sapped with idiots getting hired over me. I'm suspicious of a bad reference on my applications... either that, or equal opportunity is killing me (girls getting hired at auto parts stores before me).

If you think that's depressing...you just reminded me that I graduated HS 25 years ago on June 10th. Man, do I wish I could go back and start all over.

So you're free of the county school system, great! Just remember, that every day gets you one step closer to the grave. There is no reason to think life is a party, make every day count from now on. Every mistake you make from now on will come back to haunt you, every opportunity you let slip by, will be gone forever, make sure you start planning to live a good, clean, constructive life.

Don't drink and don't do drugs, beer and pot has ruined more lives than you can imagine. Don't bother smoking either. If that is what your friends do all day long and every weekend then you should get new friends.
There... I've told you all you really need to know.

You'll see them again.
But it won't seem the same...

Question:
Where will you find all of the answers to the questions you have now?

- I suggest that you network with everyone you know.

Today is TODAY.

Never beat a man that don't know what is past the next bend in the road....
I live like I don't make any money, because I know that if I do that, it stacks up. Never spend what you don't got. Always expect to make a pile, but think like it isn't there.

The ruin of modern folk is believing that they need things that they just plain don't! TV is BS - and people PAY to HAVE it....

Fifty to a hundred a month, just to be brainwashed....


I'll pray for you all.

Congrats and good luck.

For me it's been 33 years since I graduated from HS.

I should have payed more attention. LOL

Hopefully you'll keep in touch with some of your friends.

I still do with a hand full. One of them since 1966.

Again, CONGRADULATIONS
