Operation Graduation Essay: “Earning a diploma means a means a milestone in life for me.” (Chicago)

Gina-Scaletta

Earning a diploma means a milestone in life for me. This is really the end of my childhood life and the beginning of adulthood and my career. This diploma means success, I went to three different high schools and I still managed to graduate on time while working a couple of jobs for most of my high school career. This diploma means self-worth and the confidence I now earned to do whatever I put my mind too. This diploma means growing up and being independent.

Some of my plans now that I am graduation are to go to college and to continue to work my part-time jobs. I would like to take summer courses because I feel like that would be beneficial to me. Over the summer I’m going to buy a car as a graduation gift to myself and the hard last four years I endured.

In the fall I will be attending Northeastern University. I want to study pharmacy at a four-year program and become a pharmacist when I finish college. I feel like that is a promising career for myself and I could really see myself going into that field of work.

Three benefits of attending Ombudsman are: the four hour school days. This is a huge benefit for students because it’s not too long and I feel like you can still get a lot done. Another benefit is working at your own pace. This is good because not all students learn the same way. Finally, the classes are interesting and the teachers actually care about the students.
