Gee,is this only for new grads?  Oh well,going to answer anyway. I graduated a long time ago. I've accomplished a lot in my lifetime,but am just going back to college now to finish my degree. I felt that something was lacking in my life,and this is it. I need my masters degree to feel complete.

I did.  I chose to go to an online school instead of the traditional setting school.  I finished in less time than what it would have taken if I went to the traditional school.  Plus I was able to do my work at my own pace.  I took two classes every five weeks.  We were given the chance to know what we were going to have for homework for those five weeks, we had a little bit of interactive with other students through discussion boards.  All in All, it was an experience that I will never forget.\n\nI graduated Magna Cume Laude.  I had a 4.0 GPA.  I also set the example for my daughter that you can never be too old to go back and accomplish your goals in life.  Now I can say to everyone that I have my BS Degree in Criminal Justice and I am 80% through my Master's Degree Program.

Yep, my wife and I met in high school.  I was a junior and she a sophomore.  We went to college together and married right after we graduated from college.  We just celebrated our 22nd anniversary and have been together for 28 years.\nJoe

I graduated nearly 3 years ago from homeschool, and yes, I was by myself.  My mom threw a HUGE party for me.  I had to walk down the the aisle of our church with a cap and gown in front of a couple dozen friends and family.  People got up and talked about me (very flattering) and then I even gave a "speech" (very nerve-wracking).  We had cake and then went out to dinner afterwards.  In the back of the room we had laid out photos and binders from unit studies I had done.  My 2003 gold and white tassel hangs by my bed.\n\nOh, and btw, I have adjusted to "real life" just fine.  I've taken online college classes through Patrick Henry College (consider this a recommendation) and am now working as a receptionist for a loan company and semi-secretary for an attorney.  I'm hoping to attend Bob Jones University in the fall.  Sorry!  You probably weren't requesting an auto-biography.  I just wanted to let you and everyone else know that homeschool grads aren't wierd! :-)  Just unique...;-)

It's funny you ask that now, I happen to be 26 and my 18 yealr old sister just graduated from high school, I also graduated but by a hair. I got pregnant about a year after and never got around to focusing on further eduacation. SInce then my family has been my #1 priorty and barely have time for work, let alone a school and/or career. The #1 regret I have was not taking full advantage of school and the eduacation, I was a slacker, a skipper and not involved in school activities. Now I see my sister and she did it all, cheerleading, has a 3.9 GPA, missed only 2 days of school since kindergarten, I mean, she enjoyed every minute of it. I sure as hell wish I did. I would have done soo good and tried hard to get a scholarship and so on. \n\nBut, you play the cards you deal yourself and make the best of it. I don't regret my family at all, but had I to do it over and knew what I know now, then I would be a totally different person.\n\nThanks for that question, I enjoyed answering it.

I wasn't too big into school.  My Senior year was the pits.  I almost quit 1/2 way through!  So bored!  My friends had all gotten to be really weird.  I was under so much pressure to choose a college and a career.  I just wanted to be done with it!

High school for me was rough but fun. I didn't really start coming into my own until late my junior year. I was still a pimply teenager that resembled Beavis. But looks can be decieving. After awhile I took care of myself a lot better and I found myself being the person that people turned to for advice or a quick joke. I got along with just about everybody. Basketball players, nerds, and everybody in between. Though I enjoyed high school, I would not want to go back. Academically, I struggled through but I did graduate.

You will probably be a better student now than you would have been right out of high school.  You're more highly motivated, and I'm sure your stint in the Marines taught you a lot about self-discipline.  Many (most, I would think) colleges have programs to assist returning students or students who feel they need some extra help.   \nI myself got a graduate degree 26 years after I graduated from college and exactly 30 years after my high school graduation.  I had some fears myself about getting back into a school groove, but I really had no problems because this was something I really wanted.  \nI work in a college now, and I can tell you that I'd be very happy to have someone like you as a student.   You're going to do great!

The best day of my life was the day I saw my oldest son, quite the underachiever, walk across the stage at his high school graduation!  I was so proud!

I got out of high school thinking I knew a lot.  I went into college expecting it to be easy.  It wasn't.  Fortunately I pursued an engineering degree in computer science.  It took a while longer than I would have liked, but I'm very glad that I completed the degree.  Many of my friends left college before they finished.  I'm glad I stayed, today I can easily ask for twice what they make.  And those of my friends who continued through graduate school are making even more money, and have nicer jobs with nicer offices, and are allowed to come and go as they please, they get bonuses, respect, and they are working on things they find interesting.  I've been working on finishing my own graduate degree, again in computer science, and I hope to be done before December.\n\nGo to college, and work hard.  It will be hard, and often depressing, especially as you see yourself struggling while your friends out of college appear to be doing well.  But in the end it pays, big time.

My senior year. I had the most fun because I joined a few clubs and was more active in chorus. I was in a trio that won first in state and a triple trio that won second in state. I also had lots of friends and fun. Unfortunately, I had a little too much fun and my grades fell so badly that I almost didn't graduate. I barely made it, but at the last exam, I gave it my all and passed. If I would have only done that throughout all of high school, I would have been an honor student, along with winning lots of scholarships and going on to college. But, alas, I didn't. Don't mean to bum you out, but it's true. I had more freedom as a senior, turning 18 in the middle of the year. I didn't handle 18 too well. I hope you do better than I did. Study hard. Get the best grades you can. Join a couple of clubs. Have fun. You'll only do this once, then it's gone. Learn from one who's been there, done that. Be careful. Be safe. <*)))><

As a person about to graduate from college, I am looking back at my high school graduation.  Get ready for change.  It will be great.  Take in each moment because these are the days to remember.  Have fun and walk with pride of all you have accomplished.

You should go I graduated last week and it was such a good feeling. Even if your family is not making a big deal out of it you should this is a very big accomplishment in your life. Sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back. Go celebrate you made it through years of hard work and struggle. I know because I know I did. It's definitely something to celebrate girl you go and celebrate with your friends. Just know that even though your family is not making a big deal out of it this is a big deal not everybody can say I'm a high school graduate.
