The third quarter is dwindling down to the end. This last quarter is your last nine weeks of high school. College and the real world will bring about new expectations; often times, these expectations will be much higher than what was expected of a student in high school.
This next step is a necessary step in the maturation process. You will need to step out in the world and be on your own. Some will find themselves in college, others the military, and others will join the work force. You will be an adult. You will be responsible for yourself. I can preach to you the changes that are coming, but I want you to hear it from your peers.
This week's blog asks you to list five things you know will be different in your life within the next year. What will you need to do in order to prepare to meet these changes and who will help you meet these changes directly?

5 Different Things:
1. I know that I will have a different living situation. I will be living on my own (in a dorm) with a roommate. I will also be living in a different city.
2. I know that I will also have a different money situation. Before my parents paid for a lot of things for me so that I could save my money and use it when I was on my own. So I will be using my own money to pay for most necessities and other things.
3. I will be working hard in school to maintain grades that keep my scholarships valid. I will be studying most of the time because I didn't work hard all these years to let it go to waste.
4. I won't see my family as often. I will be living away from my family, but also my sister plans to move out and get a job. It is a weird transition in life.
5. I will be starting to focus on the rest of my life.
To meet these changes, I will need help preparing for them. I will need to think and will need everything I have learned up until this point (and more) to help me prepare. My family, especially my immediate family will help me do this as well as a few close friends.
The first thing that will change is my location, taking me away from my brother and the rest of my wonderful family. This leads to my church changing and my being forced to decide what I believe. With this decision on my beliefs leads to a change in community and the people that I choose to surround myself with. What friends will I stay in contact with, and what new relationships will I gain? I’m sure these relationships will be large factors in how I spend my time while at college. Will I decide to do theater, or will I stick to focusing on my studies? All of these factors will pave the path I take in deciding my career/ major, and deciding my role in life. In order to prepare for the next year I have to stay passionate about studying, keep a healthy environment, and manage my time wisely. The people who have and will continue to help me through this next year are my immediate family, my church family, and the Gloege family. They are always very encouraging and never stop reminding me of my morals and values. Lastly I will have to remind myself of how blessed I am, and never take these opportunities for granted.
1. I know that I will be away from home. That means that no one will remind me to get up, eat healthy, sleep well, when, and where to do homework.
2. I know I will have to apply college level work load and work ethic because I further know that college is a different than high school.
3. I will be more responsible and accountable for my life both in and out of the classroom from grades to personal safety (drugs, sex, peer pressure, etc).
4. I know that the college experience will force me to be independent and I will have to learn how to manage time wisely in everything I do both in and out of the classroom.
5. I will have to adjust to a new envirnment and leave behind everything without being too home-sick.
To prepare and meet these challenges, I will need to be self-reliant and make good habits on everything. Counselors and advisors can help but I need to help myself first and be serious.
1.) One very important thing I know ill be different next are my friends, a lot of my friends are leaving for college while I am staying back a year so I will have to make new friends.
2.) Another thing that will be different is my school oblivously, I will be taking more challengeing classes.
3.) Anotherthing that will change is my money situation, I will start working a lot more to help pay for my college tuition.
4.) Another thing that will change is my work habits, I will have more homework and have to not be as lazy as I already am.
5.) The last thing that will change for me is my outlook on school, I will take it a lot more seriously than I do now and alwasy try my best.
To meet these challenges I will try my hardest through school and do the best I can. My family and and friends will help me the most to accomplish these challenges.
1) I will be moved out of my grandparents and splitting rent with mom
2)I will have a job
3)I will have a cat named chairman meow
4)I will be out of school
5)I will have more responsibilities
I am already preparing for life after highschool. I am sending out applications for a job and trying to start working so I can save up by July to move out of my grandparents with my mom and little brother. I will be splitting rent with her and helping her with bills. We already have a basic plan for our move as far as who will pay for what. The job I get now will only be temporary until I've had my liscence for 2 years then I will be permanently working where my mom works
5 things that will change in the next year:
1) My social relations - Many friends will leave, going on their separate paths to their destinies. Others will stay here for another year before graduating. Either way, my ways of communication with my current friends will no longer exist. I will, then, need to make new friends to help me adapt to and feel comfortable in a new environment. Speaking of . . .
2) My environment - I will be in a new place. I will live in the city, where everything moves at a faster pace, a pace I'm not used to. I will live where there is a focus on learning, where I will need to focus on my future. On the topic of learning . . .
3) My education - I will not be in Brunswick, sitting in a classroom learning about Dostoevsky, Faulkner or Morrison. I will be done learning how to integrate differentials, balance equations, or the inner workings of the mind. I will instead be learning about how to teach kids, properly listen to Wagner, or studying Puccini. I will learn new instruments, new methods, and new music . . .
4) Experience new music - I may love Wagner and Reed now, but I still have yet to be introduced to other amazing composers I've yet to hear, and new music to look forward to every single day . . .
5) 365 Brand new days - each day is a trial. There's the one thing in conflict with you every day. However, each of those days are fresh starts, and these fresh starts lead to new beginnings, and 365 chances to make the world a better pace for all of us, be it through music, charity, or otherwise. Just imagine what would happen if we all donated a penny to charity each day for a year. The world would be a better place, and we would only be $3.65 poorer. I plan to do that each day of my life, and already do, and each new day gives me a new chance to fight for the good things in the world.
People are full of choices. It's just pure luck we all landed where we are. But if we all make the right choices, maybe the future won't be based on luck, but instead based on a destiny or fate of our choosing.
1. I will be moved out of my comfortable home of 9 years and into a dorm room with 2 other roommates. Unfortunately this dorm will be 10 hours away from my closest family.
2. I will have to wake myself up every morning. (Right now my parents wake me up so I don't have to use an alarm clock.)
3. I will be on my own having to make all new friends without anyone I know within 10 hours of me.
4. Many new responsibilities will be mine. I will have to pay my own tuition, eat balanced on my own, stay on time without someone telling me to, and handle real life decisions as an adult for the first time.
5. I will have to become more motivated because right now, the senoritis is bad. It can't be this way next year. Even though I am so excited to move onto something new, an adventure, I will have to take it seriously and buckle down.
I plan on preparing for this new stage in my life by becoming more independent and not relying on my parents as heavily as I have been up to this point. Whenever I am in trouble, I always call my dad and he is there to help, this won't be the case next year. I have to start being more on my own now so it is less painful later on. I will be in a lot of prayer from now on, just trying to be an adult. I will rely on my family and God to help me through this transition period.
1. The first thing will be attending college. I feel as if the enviornment there will be very different and I think I will enjoy it a lot much more though.
2. Getting a job. I will be working part-time and be paying for my own needs now. I will be learning on my own how to manage my money and know what it feels like to earn it.
3. My living situation will be different. I will be living on my own in an apartment and cooking for myself. I will be paying my own bills and doing my own laundry and much more.
4. I will lose a lot of people who are currently apart of my life. I will be so busy with my own schedule and priorities to be worried about everyone else.
5. I will have more experience of what it is like to live on my own and take care of all my priorites without any help. I will enjoy the feeling of being on my own.
I am starting to prepare myself for life after high school. I do not really know where life will take me, but I am ready for the journey ahead of me.
Chelsea Durr 4/5
1. I know I won’t be living with my parents anymore, but five and a half hours away in a dorm.
2. I know there will be a lot more work school wise I will have to be responsible for.
3. I know I will have to keep myself healthy and my room more clean and wash clothes more often.
4. I know I will meet a lot of new people, and even learn to live with strangers.
5. I know I will have to be more assertive and self-reliant. I have to learn to speak up for things I want, like research and internships. I also will have to handle any problems that arise without having my parents there to give me advice.
To meet these challenges I intend to improve my habits of living through the rest of the year and the summer. Also I intend to break my procrastination problem and be ready to drop any laziness I have. My parents can still help me, just not always physically present. Also friends can help me stay focused on my goals and my responsibilities.
1)I know that my friends will change, and I will have new relationships
2) I know that my living situation will change, and I will be away from home.
3)I know that my school will change, as I go to college an dhave to work hard for my degree.
4) I know that my family will change, as we all get older and it may grow or people may die.
5)My job will probably change as I will need to be making more money to pay for things like school, and my living arrangements etc.
To prepare for these changes I will have to save my money and be able to afford college. I will have to become more responsible and be able to handle all the stresses the real world will bring. My family will play a big part in preparing me for these challenges and help me with them.
A.MacIvor
1. Attending College
2. Having a better enviornment with people who are not childish and immature.
3. Have Professors that, are understanding, and will help me achieve the goals that i strive for. and will be able to get to know on a personal level and have them be not only another teacher but a companion that i can go to for guidence wether it be school or non school related.
4. I will be living away from my family and not be able to focus on all of the drama in the house and with the people in this community and will converse with people outside of brunswick who can actually hold a conversation and not speak with ignorance and be judgemental about eveything.
5. be able to focus on me and my needs and actually find who i am as a person and be able to reach my goals and become the best person that i can be.
To Prepare for this I will need to finish the year strong and have a plan going into college and to focus on the tasks that need to be done and what has and will need to be accomplished.
1. I know that i will be living in a different city, i'll be living in a dorm with a roomate i,ve most likely never met.
2.I wont be working as much as a do when i.m in college because i'll be away for the week and sometimes home for the weekend.
3. My family wont be around much because i'll be about an hour and a half away.
4.I will be focusing on my life and how to really start it.
5. Once i get to college the most important thing will to keep my grades up and get assignments in on time, thats going to take up most of my time.
To prepare and meet these changes, i will need to start preparing for them earlier. I will need to sit down with my parents and really figure out what i will need and what i would need to bring with me. I just need to keep postive through out this whole process.
1. Next year I will be living at Akron with a roomate on my own.
2. I will be in a different city without my parents, my sister and my dog to go home too.
3. I will need to really study hard in college because this is the foundation for the rest of my life.
4. I will most likely be working somewhere on campus so that I have extra money for myself.
5. I will really need to keep my grades up and turn in every assignment and paper I will have on time.
To prepare myself for these changes, I will need to start planning earlier. I really need to know and understand my boundries with money and how to keep my spendings under control. I will really need to try to keep my head up even in the worst situations. I will also have to figure out what I'm taking to college and leaving here.
1: I will not be living at home anymore
2: I will have to make my own meals and plan meals on my own.
3: I will be living in a city.
4: I will have roommates and new friends.
5: I will need to keep a job so i can pay for the things i need when not living at home so i will need money.
By not living at home i will need to adjust to eating differently. I need to have meal plans and to go buy foods to make in my dorm. I also need to be more careful because i will be living in a city. It is going to be hard but i need to learn to live with other people and to not let the things they do, bother me. Probably the most important thing will be money, i need to keep my current job and pick up some shifts so that i am able to buy the things i need like food and gas when i am not at home. The people that will help me meet these challenges are my family of course and the people i will be rooming with at CSU.

Five things that will be different within the next year...
1. I will be moving for school within the next year. I am living on campus at CSU. Yes the college is only 30 or so minutes away but I will be living in a new place. I have lived in Brunswick my whole life and have never had to feel the effects of transitioning to a new location and the life that comes with it. I need to build courage to do this, I am hoping I will find the right people to be friends with in college to help me with this change.
2. Losing friends from high school. It's happening now and I'm still here. I know moving away and taking on more responsibilities will but a strain on relationships but I know it is nothing to hurt myself stressing over. I am excited to start the rest of my life and I know that a few good friends I have, I will stay in contact with.
3. I am terrified of what will happen to my sister. Her relationship with my mom is not good and I am the only one she has in the family. We are best friends. I am scared to death she will get into the wrong group of friends. I hope she learns from my mistakes in high school, but I know she won't. I will try my best to stay in touch with her. I cry at the thought of her dropping out of high school and getting caught up in something bad. That is the number one thing I am worried about as I go to college.
4. I am pretty responsible for my age. I manage to have a job while going to school and being in school extracurriculars. I know how to have and hold a job so I am not worried about that, but I do not pay my own bills. That is something that will change in the next year. I need to watch my money better than I do now. Having to pay my own bills will make me more responsible in college. It is on me now.
5. I need to stop the procrastination! It is bad. College has a different way of doing deadlines which gives you more freedom and responsibility, but to me, that is giving me more time to wait and procrastinate. What I need to do is pull it together and be more organized. I really need to stop waiting until the last minute, that will be the most difficult thing for me to overcome; it’s not impossible though.

4.) I will have to do my own laundry. Currently my mom washes my clothes for me.
5.) I will need to focus on the rest of my life. I need to set goals so I can have a successful future.
To prepare for college I will need to finish the year strong and have a plan going into college. I need to focus on the tasks that need to be done and what has and will need to be accomplished. My family and friends will help me accommodate to all of these changes.

To prepare myself for these changes, I'll need to focus on what's really important in my college life rather than look back at how my high school life went. I will need to be better at managing a budget and try to heighten my effort on studying and school in general.

5. have my own car
what i will need to do is save up a bunch of money so i can move out and apply at tri c so i can go there. the only person i need help from would be myself.
1.) I know I won't be receiving financial help from my parents and it will be hard to get through the year without stress from money perspective
2.) I know I will be working ten times as hard to keep my grades and GPA up to keep my scholarships acting
3.) I know I will be focusing more on school work than my family
4.) I know i will be ready to head out into the real world soon
5.) I know that I am going to have to lose some of my friends after they move to their college and I go to mine
To meet these changes I am going to strive to be the best that I can academically and mentally so I wont have to worry too much about the college and family aspect. Other than that I think I'll just need to get in the new mindset that I am an adult and need to be ready for whatever life can throw at me!
1) have my own car
2) make it through basic training
3) make new friends
4) set goals for success-long term
5) rent an apt or a place
To meet these changes i am going to work hard academically, physically and mentally. I will do what is asked of me and hopefully be able to complete everything listed.
1) I will need to work harder on grades.
2) My social life will slow down alot due to concentrating on college classes.
3) Try to find a job where I can get more hours.
4) I will be getting new friends and meeting alot of new people.
5) I would like to start saving up to move out and live in the real world.
My life is going to be changing alot within the next year and I want to be prepared to deal with the real world.
5 Things That Will Be Different Within a Year:
1.) I will be at college.
This is so important because this will set up my career and life, so I need to change my study habits and get ready to work hard for the next 4-8 years of my life.
2.) I will be living on my own.
I'm going to be living on campus while I'm at college, so I'm going to need to learn how to live on my own and with a roommate and with other people in the dorm.
3.) I will have a different monetary situation.
Whether I quit my job here, find a new one closer to my college, or not get one right away, my inflow of cash is going to change within the next year. I'm going to need to start managing my money better...
4.) My relationships will change.
Not just romantic relationships (I may meet the girl I end up marrying), but I'll gain and, unfortunately, lose some friends along the way. I've just got to be prepared for whatever life throws at me.
5.) My music career will progress.
I've already been asked to feature with a band, so if I can get my talent out there, I think something good will happen. I've just got to keep practicing and doing whatever I can to get out there and play.
1) Location. I will finally be getting out of Brunswick, Ohio and get the chance to surround myself with a new group of people.
2) Academics. I am doing the honors program at my college so I'm sure my classes will be more challenging.
3) Money. I am currently preparing myself to be a poor college student... no more weekend mall trips.... :(
4) Work. This will be the first time in 3 years that I will not have a job...YAY!!
5) My focus. I will now be more focused on my future and on how decisions will effect me in the longrun.
I will need to start preparing for these changes now, considering Monday starts the last 9 weeks of my high school career. I need to prepare myself to meet the demands of being a college student and make the transition into being independent.
-EZaranec 7/8
5 Different things within the next year:
1. As the transition from highschool to tri-c goes on, major schedule changes will have to be made in order to adapt work with education.
2. I will have to build a financial credit history, as I am going to eventually be reaching the point in my life where I may have to move out and buy my own house, appliances, insurance, etc.
3. I will need to determine the correct long term career for a sustainable lifestyle.
4. I will be increasing the hours I work, despite how little time I may have after in order to pay for my education and any other bills.
5. I will need to keep consistent and vigilant in my studies to ensure I deserve and have the marketable skills required to make a living in my decided craft
1-I wo'nt be living with my parents
2-I will have to get a job
3-I won't see my friends again
4-I will have to deal with everything on my own
5- I will have to take responsibility for everything. Including financial responsibility.
In order to prepare for these things I need to set my goals a little further. I need to start saving more money to pay for college and what not. I think money will be the most important thing in this change. It makes me nervous just thinking about these things.
One of the things that will change in my life will be responsibility, I will have to make the right decisions and grow up quicker when I'm on my own at college.
The second thing that will change will be schooling, above all I will need to focus and try as hard as I can to get where I want to be later on in life.
The third thing would be location, I plan on moving to Chicago and starting a life there permanently.
The fourth would be my priorities, I will have to put my education and work in place of things that are obviously more fun.
The fifth would have to be money, I will have to spend my money wisely and on things that matter the most instead of heading straight to the mall.
To prepare for all of this I will have to start early before I'm on my own to get a feel of what's soon to come. My family and friends are sure to help me along the way to make sure I go in the right direction.
1. I will be living in a new city with all new people for college
2. I will have to get used to a more strict life for ROTC
3. I will need to take more responsibility with my school work
4. I will need to budget my own money and work for it too
5. I will need to make all new friends, ones that i plan to be close with for a while
My family and friends will be behind me for support. I will keep my focus on these to get where I want to be in life.
1. I will have to adjust to living on my own as I go off to college next year.
2. I will have to learn to use new resources to my advantage such as tutors and this for wrestling.
3. I will need to learn how to balance a gruling wrestling season and keeping up with my school work.
4. I will need to learn how to focus on whats important in college like getting my education over everything.
5. I will need to learn how to sell myself when out there wi my degree trying to get a job. Although I might be joining the marines after college.
1.). I started to realize the cost of colleges and how the loans and cost all are and how I'm going to have to manage my money to be able to walk out of college with the lest amount of loans that I can.
2.). That working out and focusing on my Health is very important now. That I can't just keep eating junk food all the time and I need to always stay fit.
3.). There's alot of opportunities out there for me to be able to get and get into but I can't achieve any of them if I don't try at them. In life you fail more than you win. Nothing is ever handed to you.
4.). If there's anything I've really learned is that succuss had been and counties to be defined as getting up one more time then I've been knocked down. If I want to be successful I sometimes have to even give up sleep bc if I go to sleep I might miss my chance to be successful.
5.). Last but not less that family comes first. Yeah you have friends and school and work and gf and bf but family won't always be around as long as them so gain the knowledge you can from them bc one day when they aren't here you will miss them to death.
1. I know I will have to take control of all my finances and banking.
2. I will not be able to go see my family whenever i want and will probably only see them maybe 10 days next year.
3. I will have to get the structure of military life through my head and all the processing they have.
4. My friends will change. I will be meeting people from other states and probably losing some friends as they go to college and start their lives.
5. I will be focused on my career and the goals I wish to accomplish in the military.
I will need to keep my eyes on my goals and become reliant upon myself. My family and recruiters have already helped prepared me for what is to come in the next few years.
1. I will not be living at home anymore
2. I will have to start taking more responsibility financially
3. I will be living in a new city, with new people.
4. My classes since I will be attending college will be more challenging.
5. Starting to plan how to support myself after college, finding a job, and making money.
In order to meet these changes I will have to change my priorities. My friends will be there to help support me and my family will also help me as I start making these changes.
1. First, i will be livin in a diffirent place, just the change of scenery itself will be a big change, as well as not living with my family
2.the next big change will be living on my own, deciding a lot of more things on my own, like when to clean, do my work and when to be in for the night
3. Another big thing will be meeting a whole new set if friends in collage
4. Next would be the type of work I'll be doing, instead of the classic subjects everyone takes in Highschool i will be learning things that will be directly applicable in my future job
5. Lastly would be simply doing the every day things my parents normally helped with, like fixing my car if it breaks, paying for a lot more things, and doing all the grocery shopping
Doing these things will be diffirent and hard but I know I just have to be prepared and focoused on the right things going into college. I also know I can always call my parents for advice. the main person Though that i know will be there to support me is my best friend who is going with me, and I know we will be able to help keep eachother on track.
1.) I know that the mant friends I talk to I will probally no longer talk or come in contact with.
2.)Living on my own will be another big change, taking care of myself will be a big challenge that has to be faced.
3.) Living in a new city and envirment, will have to talk to new people
4.) A new job, finding a good job and being succesful at that job.
5.) Budgiting my own money and not having any help at all with geting money.
This is all a great challenge but it has to happen sooner or later. I know if i need any help i can call my parents for help and advice. but thats it i cant let them do everything for me no more, i need to learn to live on my own.
Going to College is going to change my life completely. I will be attending The Ohio State University in the fall. There will be many changes I will be experiencing in my life. First off, I truly will be on my own. I will not have my parents there to push me to do my work and constantly be on my back about grades. To meet this change, I will need to become more independent. I need to learn to be more self-motivated and discipline myself to complete my work. Another change will be not having a job once college starts. While I will have extra time, I will be lacking money. I will need to be more conservative with my money and not waste it on things I do not need. I will need to be more frugal. I also will have to take care of all of my own personal needs such as doing my own laundry, shopping for groceries and getting other supplies. I take these things for granted. My parents do most of the shopping and laundry. Another change will be my schedule. At High School, my schedule is the same every day. School starts at 7:25 and ends at 1:20. This will be different at college. I will have a different schedule and I will need to be able to adapt to this. To prepare for all these changes, I will need to become more independent. At college my peers and guidance counselors will be the ones there to help me. If I need help those are the people I could ask. Other than that I will be on my own. It is all my own responsibility to deal with these changes.
Joey Marincek 7/8th period
1. I will be on my own in the world for the first time.
2. I will be forced to meet new people
3. I will need to plan out the rest of my life to ensure I have time to change plans if needed.
4. I will be able to start over fresh in a different location, being able to get away from my past.
5. Everything is going to change.
In my own way, I feel that I have been preparing for my future for some time now. I’ve always strived to be self sufficient, not asking for help unless I really needed it. I’ve learned how to deal with many types of problems in my life. The only person that I believe will be able to help me with any changes to my life would be me. No one else has the ability to change their life like themselves: people may be able to support one another through a change, but if the person that is changing is not up for the task, nothing will get accomplished in the grand scheme of things. I am the change I want to see in myself, and only I hold the power to do so.
Because I am going off to college next year, there are many things that will change in my life.
1) Where I live will be different. I'll hopefully be living at college, and not at home any more.
2) The type of learning I do will be different. Instead of spread across many subjects, my learning will be more focused upon my future career.
3) Next year my friend base will be largely different than it is now. I will, unfortunately, lose contact with many of those from high school and will have to make new friends in college.
4) I will have to be self sufficient and able to take care of myself. My parents won't always be around to ask questions.
5) I will be focusing on my future career, and not on getting good grades in order to get into college.
I have prepared for all of these things in high school. I have taken challenging courses to prepare myself for the workload, and I have tried to take on more responsibility around the house, that way I know how to survive on my own. The most integral people who will help me meet the challenges that lie ahead are my parents. They have already been to college and know what the experience is like, so they will be able to give me advice that will hopefully ease the transition.
1. I will need to put more effort into my school work. You'll work a lot harder when you consider your tuition is going towards these classes.
2. I will need to get a job. My parents have always tried to support me, but I will definitely have to start pulling my own weight to afford text books, gas money and such.
3. I will always have to keep the future in my mind. In High School, you can pretty much ignore college for your first 3 years. But when you're in college, you always have to think "Will this be useful for my future"
4. I will have to deal with new people. I may see one or two people from High School, but I will basically be starting over.
5. I think my overall mentality will shift. I'll probably become either more serious or more laid back than I already am. I won't stay the same.
I think I'll meet these changes pretty well. After about 2 weeks of complaining, I can deal with something changing. It may lurk in the depths of my mind, but I shouldn't focus on it.
1. I will be living in a new city, and not at home anymore.
2. I won't talk to most of the people that I talk to now.
3. I will have to learn how to save money and be responsible with it.
4. I won't see my family as much since I won't be living at home.
5. I will have to take responsiblity for my grades in college.
I will have to set goals for myself in order for these things to come true. My family and close friends will be there to support me throughout the transition into the next chapter of my life.
1. I will miss my sister.
2. I will have to figure out what in my room belongs to me and what belongs to my brother.
3. I will learn how to be more nocturnal in contradiction to Ben Franklin's famous quote.
4. I will be wholly severed from all news of the world at large.
5. I will know "how the story ends" in regards to current complications and uncertainties.
1. My environment will change. I will be living with my peers, not my family. And I don't know any of the peers that I will be spending most of my time with. This will be a challenge and an adventure that I must face alone, without the constant comfort of my family close at hand.
2. My education will change. I will no longer be focusing on my individual grades and their determination of my graduation and scholarships, but how each class that I take will give me a brighter and more knowledgeable future.
3. My lifestyle will change. I will no longer be able to rely so heavily on my parents on a daily basis. I will realize what it is like to live on my own in the real world and with my own hard work and dedication.
4. My purpose will change. I will no longer be the high school honor student striving for the next A+, but the future educator striving to make a difference.
5. My future will change. My eyes will be opened to new experiences, new people, and new choices. I'll change my mind, change it again, and change it back. And that's okay.
All of these things I cannot face alone, but am more than willing to face them. It is time for me to fly out of the nest and I intend to fly, but never far. I know that I cannot face these changes without my family and they will be key factors in my future. I will also always have those few people who are never far and always willing to be even closer if I need them to be. I will be going into college with an open mind and my family and I are working diligently to work out the details. Right now my free time consists of filling out applications for scholarships and loans and I know that this time will be paid back tenfold soon.
1) I will have to be responsible for my spending and income. I will not have my parents as a crutch when spending money.
2) My social life will also be very different. Many of my friends are either going away to college, or are juniors in high school now.
3) My relationship with my family will change greatly. Right now, I am home very little because I live a very busy life. When I am in college, I will see even less of my family. This is something I will have to make a priority in my life.
4) I will also have to adjust to teachers and professors that are not passive on the topic of late assignments. Many of my teachers in high school will let me turn in late assignments. In college, it will most likely be different.
5) I will also be responsible for my own grades. My mom constantly checks progress book to see where I stand in a class. In college, progress book is not available. I will have to stay on top of my work and test scores on my own.
1. I will be responsible for providing for all of my own food in college. To prepare for this I should probably learn how to cook, but I'll most likely take the easy way out and eat microwaveable food everyday.
2. I will have to do my own laundry in college. To prepare for this change in life I should probably learn how to do laundry.
3. I will be faced with a new environment full of new people. To prepare for this I should go in with an open mind and socialize with different people.
4. I will be focusing on not only succeeding in class but preparing myself for a career in the real world where grades aren't all that matter.
5. I will have to budget my money wisely, because college will drain both what I have and dig me a hole of debt that I don't have. Paying that off will be fun but that's life.
The first thing that will be different in one calender year is that I will be in college, which will bring me to my second point; in one year I will have met new people at college. Making new friends, and not seeing those that are at high school right now. Life takes each of us down a different path, and I know already that my path is not a typical one. The third change will be that I will be experiencing the real world for the first time. Taking care of myself, being responsible for myself, making my own decisions. At this time in my life, I don't have the luxury (or burden, depending on how you think of it) of starting to become and adult due to my being in high school, therefore inability to take responsibility for all of my life. The fourth change will be that I will need to take education more seriously. In college, we, as students, actually take classes that will be remotely useful to our everyday lives unlike high school, so that will be when I have to put forward the effort and enthusiasm to succeed in schooling. The fifth change will be that I cannot see Mrs. Perrin anymore, which deeply upsets me. I'll still be in contact with you, Mama P.
Collin Mahoney, 4/5
1.) I will have to learn to speak for myself and know how to talk to people, I have never been very good at that. I'm going to have to become more confident and just be willing to talk to people. I think college in itself will teach me to do this along with the people I will be living with.
2.) I'm going to have to budget my time. There won't be anyone to tell me what I should or shouldn't do, or to give me permission. I'm going to have to make sure that I always put academics first. Hopefully my friends and I will keep each other on track.
3.) I am never going to be with the same group of people I am with now. When I think of my band family, the people I have become so close to in the past four years, I remember that that closeness will be gone soon. To adjust to this, I'm going to have to try to join new clubs and activities, even though I know it won't be the same. Having my two best friends at college will also help me with this.
4.) I will not have the alone time that I love so much. Sharing a room with other people, even though they are my friends, will be difficult, because I love to have time to myself to think and such. To adjust to this, maybe I will just go on walks or find something to do alone so I can still have this alone time. Obviously my friends and I can respect each other's space to help with this.
5.) Being four hours away from my family. Not seeing them is going to be very difficult. To adjust to this I will just have to remember that this is a part of growing up. I think that having my current two best friends at college along with making new friends will make it a lot easier.
1. For one, I will be surrounded by (mostly) new people. That's an opportunity I greatly look forward to.
2. I'll be living on my own for the first time ever. So I'll have to learn how to a lot of things (like my own laundry...)
3. I'll be away from my family for an extended period of time. While, at the moment, I couldn't be more excited about that, I'm sure that it will be a bit hard to adjust to.
4. My education will become a lot more focused; that is to say, I'll have a lot more classes that I choose to take, and not necessarily that I have to take. I'll enjoy that.
5. I'll have to be on a budget. I spend little enough now that I always have more money in my bank from one paycheck to the next. Since I won't have a job, that won't be the case anymore...
1. I will have to get use to the fact that alot of my friends will be going off to collage.
2. i will have a new job.
3.i will be going to school for something i want to learn about so it will be easyer to learn.
4.im going to have to have more responsibility on my work and that its not maditory to go to school.
5. im not going to have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning
1.I will be working harder in a job and school but wont be at school as much.
2. I won't be in so many classes
3. I'm going to be focusing more on the rest of my life and trying to figure out how to pay for it.
4.I won't be able to escape my family by going to my friends house and relaxing
5.I know i have a chance to start new with school and being able to manage stuff.
To prepare for all this I need to think and focus on the little things first and work up to finishing all my goals.
5 different things:
1.) The first thing that will be different is that I will be away freom my family, living on my own.
2.) I know that my friends will be different, I'll be making new friends and hoping to stay in touch with my friends that go to different colleges.
3.) My location will change. I will no longer be living in the town I grow up in.
4.)My classes will change since I will be in college.
5.)I will have more responsiblity.
To prepare for these changes in my life, I plan on making summer great with my family and friends. I know my family will help me through all these changes.
5 things that are going to change:
1) How I live. I will be living in a dorm at college, in a different city.
2) my friends. I will be making new friends and losing some of the ones I have now.
3) work. I won't have to work because I'll be at school and won't have time.
4) My money situation. I won't have as much money because I won't be working and I will be paying for school.
5) My work habits. I will have to do my homework more to actually understand what is going on in the class.
To meet these changes I need to prepare myself. I'll have to expect the unexpected and surround myself with people who will help with these changes.
1) Learning to drive- yes I am an eighteen year old who can not drive. I have not had time to learn and my family can not afford to help me out much. But now that I am off to college I will need to learn if I want to commute to school (as I hope to). So, I will need to renew my temporary license and take every opportunity to practice that comes my way.
2) New school- Unlike many people I know, the idea of college scares me, new classes, new teachers, new people, new environment. I need to prepare for this by accepting changes and dealing with each new experience as it presents itself.
3) More school work- my friends that are already in college have told me that I need to prepare myself for studying each day. This will put a damper on my personal time which I treasure but the rewards will compensate me.
4) caring for myself- I am a very needy person, and I can barely do anything for myself. Even though I intend to live at home, I need to start taking care of myself, and my parents have informed me that they will make sure I do. So, I need to take responsibility for myself and stop shying away from work.
5) New people- I am very shy, so being around hundreds of new strangers is an awful thought for me. I do not get along with many people and I have the feeling that college will be no exception to that. I need to be ready to find people I do get along with, and still keep in touch with the friends I have now.
5 Things I know will be different next year:
1. I will be living in a completely different city and not at home.
2. I will rarely see the people I see regularly today.
3. I will have a whole different schedule for what I spend my time doing.
4. My focus will be not just on the next year, but what my life will be like for the entire rest of my life.
5. I will be learning in a completely different environment than I am now.
I am hoping to meet these challenges by preparing and have an idea for what to expect. Since right now I have no idea where I will be next year I must at least mentally prepare for what is to come, and when I do know where I'm going, make myself as ready as possible for all of the challenges. From there all I can do is to meet every challenge when it comes, whether I am ready or not. Although I hope I will be.
Jennifer Sens 7/8
1. I will be moving in June to Columbus and this will probably the last year i will see anyone from Brunswick other than my two best friends. What i will do this summer is try to spend as much time as i can with my friends this summer and maybe meet up, in the future, with my close Brunswick friends.
2. I will be two hours away from my mom. I think i will be fine the first few months away from her because we don't really get along but i will eventually learn how much she does for me and i will appreciate her and start talking to her more and not take her for granted. I need to learn how to function without going to her.
3. I will need to adjust to other people. I've been, basically, an only child all my life. I don't know how to live with other people. I will be rooming with three people and I need to learn and change my ways in order to live civilized.
4. I will need ways to earn money. Even though i usually don't have any I won't have any at all without my mom being there. I will try to get a job and a bank account at college and learn to budget money.
5. I cannot slack off. I always do at least half of the school year but now we have to pay for school and it's stupid to fail a class you paid to take. I need to keep my motivation up and emotions in check. I need to think in the future and not in the present so I don't hurt myself.
1. I will be in a different place/environment than I am today.
2. I will meet new people around the country that hail from other places than Brunswick Ohio.
3. I will be an independent person and all my actions will be my responsibility due to my actions.
4. The world will still turn there is more life beyond what the eyes can see.
5. There will be new challenges to overcome whether it is school, job, people or others yet to come.
I believe for one that your class alone will prepare us for what lies ahead in our journeys, but the only way to face these challenges is to open up and the world help with your journey. The only people that can help on this journey is one yourself, and two family and friends you meet along the way.
1) Living conditions- I will be living in a cramped dorm as opposed to my spacious home.
2) Friends- Though many of my friends are attending the same school as me, I will still meet many new people.
3) Time- Over the past four years I have had very little free time while balancing a sport, job and school.
4) Family- I am very close to seeing my family, so not seeing them everyday will be rough.
5) Independence- I will be on my own, making my own decisions.
These changes are all a part of growing up, and I am ready to meet them head on. I will need to change some of the things that have been so important to me for so long. My friends and family will help me meet these challenges.
1. I will be living with a person i do not know
2. i will not be able to ask my parents for help or guidance.
3. my schoolwork will get harder
4. i will have to work and get money for myself
5. i will have to do my own laundry.
To meet these changes i will start preparing by taking on more responsability at home and learn how to do anything i dont already know how to. Also i need to learn to not procrastinate anything.
1. I will not have the same friends anymore. Most of my friends are going away to college and staying in a form but I am staying home.
2. I will have more things to pay for, including all the college payments.
3. I won't be able to procrastinate on my homework. College school work is much more different than high school and you have to get papers in on time.
4. I will be more independent and can't rely on my family to make all my decisions for me.
5. Having to drive 20 minutes every other day on the highway to school. I don't like driving on the highway so this will be a major change.
Life after high school brings about many changes for each individual graduating. One difference for me will be being away from home. Even though I'll only be an hour away, it will definitely be something I will have to adjust to. Another difference will be my school. Getting accepted into my dream school was one thing, but staying in it will be challenging in itself. I will be taking harder classes so this will require me to study and focus more on homework and school than on my friends. A third difference will be my lifestyle. I will be able to do more things, such as exercise when and how I want, eat the way I want and go to bed whenever I can without having someone there to tell me when to do so. A fourth difference will be my friends. Since I won't be able to see all of my friends from high school as often as I would like, I will have to make new ones. I already know a bunch of friends and family at my school so hopefully that won't be so hard. My fifth, but not my last, difference will be figuring out my life: what I want to major in, who I want to marry, where I want to live; the list could go on and on. But to help me overcome these differences, I will have to become self-reliant and more independent. My friends and family will help me every step of the way with whatever I need but I have to be able to at least try things on my own before I go asking for help.
1) I will be surrounded by people that I never even knew existed, and some of them may become life-long friends.
2) I will be away from everything that I've grown up with.
3) I'll be living with someone that I've never met before, in a different city.
4) I will not have to worry about working or sports, like I have the past 2 years.
5) I will be going to school for something that will directly affect my future.
I will need to focus on becoming independent. In college, professors won't be there to remind me work that I've missed. My parents will surely help me prepare, but advice from friends that are already in college will be very useful.
1. The one thing I know is that after graduation ill be leaving my house and moving into an apartment with my friend.
2. Ill be in college for vet tech and hopefully like it very much and not want to change my profession since I've wanted to be a vet tech for as long as I can remember.
3. I'll buy myself a new car.
4. Ill have a second job.
5. I will not be as close as I am with my best friend since 3rd grade because ill still be here in Ohio and she will be in Pittsburgh for college.
To make these changes happen first off will be graduate from high school in June. Then I'll need my second job to help pay rent for the apartment and other stuff we will need to buy. Ill have to save some money to buy a car. Lastly i'll try to keep in touch with my best friend as much as possible so we don't feel so distant and loose our friendship we have build for 9 years now. I'll be still close with family because I wont be to far away to visit and see them.
1. Bills. I will have much more bills and need to be more responcible with my money.
2.jobs. I will probably go looking for a second job because I don't like just not working. With the added stress of bills I will feel guilty when not working or anything.
3.career. I will be moving to a managment possision at work which is what I want to keep doing but that also increases my quoata tthat I have to meet.
4. School. I will be taking classes on line and it will be much harder to learn and achieve compaired tk when someone is teaching you in person.
5. Headachs. I get migrains from stress. Whith high school out of the picture and bringing collage and work I will need to leaen how to relax and not let stress get to me if I want to go a day with out a migrain.
My family, cody, friends, and people from work will all be there, pushing me to be the best I can be and gelping me achive my goals.
The 5 changes in my life will be:
1. I will be living on my own, without my parents.
2. School is only going to get harder when I go to college.
3. More freedom in my life with harder choices to make.
4. Have completely new friends.
5. I will not be having many more home cooked meals. (Freshmen Fifteen)
To handle these changes I need to be able to take what life throws at me. It will get hard at times but anything can happen in the future. I am just trying to go with the flow and keep a happy life by whatever means necessary.
1.) I will be forced to live on my own away from my family. I will have to make my own decisions an manage my time wisely.
2.) I will have completetl different friends in college since I will be meeting new people and spending the next 4 years with them.
3.) I will have to start focusing on a career and studying to be ready to go into the real world.
4.) I will have to manage my time as a student athlete in college as I will have to focus on baseball.
5. I will have to get a second job to help pay for college.
I will handle this with the hep from my family and friends. Also I will have to mature as an adult and focus on things that are important to me and my future
1. I'll be living in a dorm
2. I'll be far away from my family
3. I won't have my mom to remind me to get things done
4.I'll have harder classes with teachers who won't be lenient
5.I'll leave a lot of my friends behind
To meet these challenges I'm going to have to be very organized to make sure everything is turned in on time. I'll have to be very responsible and very indepeneant.
1. I will be around different people perhaps more motivated to learn so that we can feed off of each other's energy.
2. I will find a new group of friends.
3. I will be away from home even more than I already am.
4. I will learn how to live.
5. And I will learn all that is necessary to be where I want to be.
All of my high school career has seemed to prepare me for this. With the classes I have taken, I've learned how to prepare for tests and how I can help myself absorb information. With all my extracurriculars, I've dealt with many items at once to complete (successfully, too). I've also learned how to live on my own by taking trips to Baltimore and Washington D.C. and even drum major camp for various programs and living with new people. And then I've talked to Mrs. Perrin and Mr. Wardeska, listened to their stories, and now feel more ready to take on college and the rest of my life.
Summer Murrell 1*
5 things I know will be different:
1.) I know my everyday routine will be different. Once I hit college, my class schedules will be different and any free time I have will have to be spent studying and doing homework
2.) My work schedule will be different. On a usual week I work about 20-26 hours and once I start college I probably won't even be able to work at all. Unless it's the weekends.
3.) The people I hangout with will be different. A lot of my friends are going away for college so it's going to be different. I won't have as many people to hangout with and I'll make different friends as I go to college.
4.) Living at home will still be the same until I get out of college. I don't have money to move out and I don't see the point if I'm in college. It in a way will be different though because I'll be at home different hours than I would be if I were in high school.
5,) I think out of all the changes that are going to happen, my maturity level will change the most. High school is going to seem like a cake walk compared to college. It's going to be a wake up call once I'm on my own. Having to take full responsibility is a big deal and it will change a person.
It's hard to imagine only five things will be different so I'll just pick the top five.
1.)I'll have to make a whole new set of friends most likely.
2.)I'll have to be responsible for my own living situation. This means cleaning, laundry, and things of that nature.
3.)I'll have to be more responsible with money.
4.)I'll have to manage my time more efficiently
5.)I'll have to actually start thinking about the long term future outside of college. It's easy to ignore it, but it needs to be done.
To accomplish all of these things I will have to rely on myself. If I want something done, I will have to do it myself. I can't rely on people to live my life for me. I'll have to embrace new situations and expect more challenges. I can always ask my family for help, but when it comes down to it, the person who is going to make things happen for me is me.
Five things that I'm sure will change in my life in the next year are:
1.) I will have graduated from Brunswick High School and be on my way to becoming a robotics engineer while studying at The University of Akron.
2.) I will have obtained a place of employment for the first time in my life, and will be saving up to purchase my first car.
3.) I will have a completely different lifestyle to adjust to. I.E. going to work, paying bills and taxes.
4.) I will obtain my drivers license in order to be independent of others, as far as transportation goes.
5.) I will have turned eighteen years old, and will be officially an adult who has all the rights of every man in the nation.
In order to prepare myself for all these changes, I will need to be responsible for myself. I will need to learn how to accept blame and receive consequences for my actions, or more hopefully, rewards for good deeds. Most importantly, I will need to learn how to ask for help when I need it, and be humble when giving thanks.
With all these things that will be changing, I can tell that life is about to speed up. So it is my intent to prepare myself to the best f my ability, in order to live as extraordinary life as possible.
AHetzel
3rd Period
In the next year I will be moved out of my parents house, living with my boyfriend, attending college working and also i will be more concered with money because i cant justask my dad for any since i am now a adult. To make this all possible I have to find a steady job, keep doing well in my last quarter of my senior year and keep thinking everything is possible.
1 - 3: I will be living in Columbus (Which I have never been to before) adapting to not just a new city and new people, but College. I'll need the support of my family and my friends along the way.
4: This will be the first time in a long time that I will not have been in a music ensemble or have something that I'm committed to besides academics.
5: I will be maintaining a job for the first time ever in order to be able to pay for college. This will be much different considering I'll be a full-time student and have to be working at the same time.
All of these changes will be very momentous occasions in my life. These are things that only come once, for the most part, and that means it will be scary most of the time... but I think I'm ready for it.
On second thought, I know I am.
1. I will begin amassing a gigantic amount of debt. The best thing I can do is begin budgeting and saving whatever I can earn. My parents will help me with loans and such.
2. I will need to do my own laundry. I will schedule my time, but moset likely I will wear a few smelly shirts. I think I'm alone on this one.
3. Performance requirements and work load will increase. I will set up a practice schedule, maybe a professor will guide me in this.
4. Keeping track of my schedule will become solely my responsibility. I look forward to this. There may be some unsuccessful methods of remembering things discovered. I don't know if anyone will help me with this.
5. I will live with other people. I will be patient as we learn to live with each other. Maybe those people will help me.
Five things that will change within the year:
1. My social skills, all of my friends will be attending different schools so I won't be able to rely on them to talk to everyday face to face, I will have be more outgoing and talk to new people and show them the true me.
2.My studying skills, in high school I don't really study that hard or sometimes I don't even study at all. That all needs to change next year because I cannot get through college classes without studying, I need to do good if I want to succeed.
3. Become more independent, I am already pretty independent but I need to start making my own decisions and not ask my parents what would be best for me, even though my parents give great advice, I need to start figuring things out on my own.
4. My education, no longer will I be learning about pointless topics but new topics that will actually help me in my major and later on with my career.
5. Losing friends, I won't see many school friends anymore, maybe during the holidays but more than likely we won't talk that much. I plan to keep in touch with my close friends but also find new friends who are in the same major as me because then we would have things in common.

1. I will be working more to pay for school
2. Some of my friends are going to colleges so I wont get to see them like I do now
3. I will be more independent and doing things on my own like appointments and banking on my own
4. I might be living on my own
5. I have to really focus on what I'm going to do with my future
1. I will no longer be in possecion of a car, which sucks but i'll have no need for one.
2. My peers, althought I truly hope my friends stay the same odds are they won't I will gain and lose many friends.
3. Where I am living, I will be far gone in a year from now. I will have left the united states to have gone to a middle eastern country where Brunswick has never been spoken of.
4. I will have so much more money once I leave. My pay check will make my marcs paycheck look like chumps change.
5. I will be differnt, i hope that as I grow older i actually grow up. I will change, not many people are the same person were in high school.
1) I will be going to college so that is going to be harder and way different from high school. People that will get me though it will be friends and family.
2) I will be staying at college so I will have to rely on myself and my roommate for a lot then.
3) I won't have a car to drive anymore at college. Ill have to relay on my mom to come pick me up like old times.
4) I will not being eating all the same thing or having the same things. I will only have little money to buy food so I will have to stick with cheap things.
5) I will lose some of my friends and won't see some of them ever again. Other only a little. It will be a big change with new people.
1. I will no longer be living at home. I will have to adjust to living in a dorm.
2. I will have many more responsibilities. Living without my parents means more to take care of on my own.
3. My work situation will most likely change. I will most likely need to get another job over the summer and work a lot harder to save up money for expenses at school.
4. The work in college will be a lot harder and I need to be ready for that.
5. I will meet new people and make new friends.
I think overall, I will be responsible for making sure the coming year is successful. College means a lot more independence but it also means a lot more responsibility. Of course, I will also get help from my family and friends along the way.
