Every year a countless number of teens graduate from high school, in looking for this number I find study after study outlining all the problems with graduating, teen pregnancy, drug use, gang crime, illiteracy, etc., but no one seems to document how many kids actuality do graduate. Really not too important for my discussion, but surely someone must know how many there are each year.
For the vast majority of these graduates, this day will mark their transition from child to adult. They will now be completely responsible for the choices they make, but for too many they will not understand and they continue to find reason not to accept that role. It will be someone else's fault for their decisions, it will be someone else's responsibility to choose. I hope that for the most part these new members of our society will choose wisely and grow into successful adults.
Good luck to you all.
