Many students graduate from school without the idea of what is next after school. Well we cannot blame students for this because our present school system doesn’t do much to prepare students for the real world. It is something discouraging and something laughable how we enrol in school, and for the first few days or week we are oriented and bombarded with information from different angles of do’s and don’ts of life on campus. This do’s and don’ts only teaches you how to study and make grades, it does not train you how to live life after school days. It’s a fact that makes me feel bad when I look into life and see clearly that my grades has nothing to do with my success in life, this is the fact that schools and student must be aware of and make correction If education is to be our pace to success.
Am a living witness of life after school days, and I have witnessed so many graduates saying what I learnt in my school days is not what I am applying and is not the same way I lived after school and this brings some of them to the conclusion that school is for social life and grades and not the way you live after it. It is something discouraging if after your school you observe that all what is left for you is different from what you want to embark on, our course of study is not directly or practically the same with life after school. Some old graduates even go extra miles by saying it is like going to school is wrong because what we learnt so far is not applicable, it is like going to school is wrong because what we learnt so far is not applicable, it is the responsibility of the school authorities to dive into this issue and make correction or a better future, if education will survive to the end.
In school given you are taught a lesson and given a test, in life you are given test that teaches you a lesson. This is to tell you the most important difference between life in school and life after school. The choice, the decision you make will bring consequences which will affect you either positively or negatively, in school we make mistake that can easily be easily corrected but outside the school your mistake teaches you a life lesson. In aspect of finance, immediately you finished school, it will gradually and rapidly diminish, you will be left to make decisions on your own, the way you have helped yourself will determine your balance in nature, this will happen because your parent thinks they have given you all you need and that is education to thrive in the real world but practically the education we get in school is different from what we get outside the school.
It is in school you think of what to become but immediately after the school you are already everything you thought you want to become. Myself and my group of had made a lot of approach to study the life of graduates after school and this studies proved to us that what we learn inside the school is totally different from what is outside in the real world. It’s like coming out of the planet with into the space where your direction will only be as a result of your focus and dedication to overcome natural forces. My advice to students and future graduates is that we all know that our schools have failed us in this aspect we can decide and make choice to train our self in the way that brings to us success after the degree, let me remind you, the decision you make now will affect you either positively or negatively so choose which you want, is it to succeed or to fail after your days in school, that is why you have to choose and make a decision yourself and note that you are In your dangerous and precious time, time waits for no one and once the opportunity to make good choice is lost, it is very hard to get another opportunity for yourself in the real world after school, take the best decision and see yourself happy after days in school.
THANKS.
