The end of June is an exciting time for many young graduates. ItB次元官网网址檚 a time when the established routines of grade school come to an end and the next stage of life begins.
Grade 12s at Belmont and Royal Bay secondaries, as well as those at high schools around Greater Victoria, have their eyes on a number of different targets.
For some, the planning has already begun for the next instalment in their educational life, which for many will start this fall. Others are charting out a B次元官网网址済apB次元官网网址� year, one that will see them join the workforce if they havenB次元官网网址檛 already done so, or start analyzing the map to see where theyB次元官网网址檇 like to travel before tackling more studies, or embarking upon a career.
There are those, too, who havenB次元官网网址檛 yet got a plan in place for this transitional time. Many parents worry about the direction these children will take now that school is winding up and they are essentially becoming young adults. Will they take the initiative and start looking for work, or simply hang out waiting for something to be handed to them?
No parent wants to see their kids stagnate, especially at a time in life when they should be filled with energy and fresh ideas.
Parents of todayB次元官网网址檚 grads grew up in an environment where getting ahead, sooner rather than later, was the mantra and that hasnB次元官网网址檛 really changed much. As such, living with teenagers who donB次元官网网址檛 operate under that philosophy can be stressful for some parents.
But taking a year or even two off school B次元官网网址� not necessarily work B次元官网网址� after graduation to figure out where their passions lay and what gets them excited in life can be a good investment in oneB次元官网网址檚 future happiness.
One of parentsB次元官网网址� biggest hopes is that their children will grow up to have confidence in themselves and their ability to make good decisions. For those who are graduating this month, the time for making some of the more key decisions in their lives is drawing closer.
LetB次元官网网址檚 just remember that those decisions donB次元官网网址檛 all have to be made at once.
