SivartM Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 So... I'm graduating today. Tomorrow I won't be homeschooled. Or in high school. I actually survived 12 years of school. Now just 4 more and I'll... have to grow up even more. :\ Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

Outta Here Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Congratulations, Sivart! A milestone to be commemorated! I never realized how close in age you are to my daughter. She graduates on Sunday! What will you be studying the next four years? Where will you go to college? Quote
SivartM Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks, Aubrey! Neat! Congratulations to her. I made a post about this in Natter Matters, but I'll put it here too (spam bots and stalkers, don't read this part!). I'm going to Andrews University to study dietetics.

SivartM Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 My graduation gift is whatever I need for college (microscopic refrigerator, books, dishes, etc.).

doug yowell Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 My graduation gift is whatever I need for college (microscopic refrigerator, books, dishes, etc.).Vehicle,plane tickets to Europe(study abroad),new computer,tuition??? Quote
SivartM Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 I won't drive, I think if I plan on going to Europe it'll be my own money, I got a new computer last year... but I suppose tuition counts. :D Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

SivartM Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 I don't know yet... I may stay home all summer, work if I can find a job... if not, maybe just try to get a head start on studying for Anatomy and Physiology class...

I may stay home all summer, work if I can find a job... if not, maybe just try to get a head start on studying for Anatomy and Physiology class...My 8th grade teacher told me that when I finished high school, instead of going straight to college, I should work for a year, save my money, and then travel for a year before I went to college. He said I'd get a better, more well rounded education that way.More real life stuff. I remembered his advice when I was about 45. I've always wondered what others would think of that.How many tried it? Let us know what you decide to do.How bout a mission stint somewhere? Quote

Members abelisle Posted May 19, 2010 Members Posted May 19, 2010 Congrats Sivart, Just be aware that SDA schools are not utopias and keep your prayer life active. This might very well be the toughest spiritual test you'll meet in your young life. Alex Quote We are our worst enemy - sad but true. http://abelisle.blogspot.com
SivartM Posted May 19, 2010 Author Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks everyone! Graduation was awesome and I didn't even embarrass myself (even when my parents had to make a speech!) Thanks for the advice, abelisle. I'll make sure to do that. (By the way, did you get my reply to your reply to my PM?)
