I graduated!

Haha! Does'nt seem like it would be a big thing for you guys. It is for me though! I have graduated high school as of TODAY! Woo! No more school! And 4 months for everyone else my age! Haha!

Its such a big relief to be done! I'll be attending my auto body class for the rest of the year, but hey it will be my CAREER! I've got a damn good start in achieving my life goals. I've been 18 since Sep. and have had my full-time job at McDonalds for 2 years now! I've finally done my 12 years of education, and now its time for reality, as they say!

I just can't believe all the crap I have been through! It still feels like it has'nt totally hit me yet. I feel like I'm institutionalized! Well guys, I just wanted to let you know that I'm done! Its not going to be very often to see a kid my age that has achieved many things and stood up for theirselves to get a foot in the door!

My auto body class has gotten me so exponentially far into the repair industry that it is rare to even hae such an opportunity in life at a high school level! I can finish this class this year, and catch myself in a real shop with an awesome wage! Right out of high school!

Haha, I just have about $30-40k to invest in for tools! Auto body tools are freaking expensive! I'm definitely ecited as hell to have challenged myself in life and BE an achievement. The only one who was going to get me somewhere in life, is myself! I think I'm on the right path, ya?

Haha, so who wants to hire me? Lol!

well congrats i joind the clup of H.S. grads 5 years ago.. damn that make me feel old.. and yesturday was by bday now i really feel old

That is bleepin awesome bro,you are my hero for the day.Congrats

congrats! it is good to see someone enthusiastic about what direction they want to go in life at a young age......enjoy it while you can, time flys after you graduate!

nytrdr24 i must say thats good advice... i didnt realize how true that was till i read his post today and looked back and realized i grad 5 years ago !!!!!!!!!

Congratulations bro!! Just remember you never stop learning and don't let this be an occasion to slip up! you know what you want to do... just do it! Get er' done!! peace out much love!!

Haha, you old' timers! I'm sure life is going to go by pretty quickly since most of my day will now consist of working... I plan on trying to take up another job. I'd like to do 2 fill timers but now when I have school...

Funny thing is, right now, I could get hired by a painters union and make $11 starting. But I wan't to get my auto body job! I bet I could get one with the exp. I have right now, but my teacher wants me to stay in the class and finish the year. Hey, good thing about it is that I could get my rig painted up and lookin' perty...

Sigh, all these options! I gotta balance it out to something...

HA! Its nice to know I was someones hero for the day! Call me Super 22! lol.

Man, I know I can't slip up! That would ruin everything for me. I just want to atleast sleep in a couple times a week now. LOL!

I've gotta take advantage of my time now and become the workaholic I've always had in my blood. Gotta work to live!

Haha, I can't stand doing something that is not constructive! Unless its like leisurely. But if I watch television, it has to be something educational, like mythbusters or futureweapons or something on the history channel! Haha!

Well, thanks for the compliments guys! It will be interesting to see what life is like now not having to worry about whether or not I have homework!

it is great that you have a good work ethic in your "blood", but it is like an older gentleman told me one day, work smart, not hard, he also said live to work, not work to live, & from these two things i gathered this, an education to a job you enjoy will be invaluable (live to work) in that you won't have to be a "workaholic" at something you don't like & be sucessful enough at what you do like, so that you don't have to "work to live", cause living pay check to pay check sux......

now grasshopper,
take these words of wisdom & finish your autobody schooling, save a little $$ & go to business school, then open your own autobody shop so you can work what hours you want, enjoy working when you do, & can hire some young gun such as yourself down the road to pass along your knowledge!
lol haha!

Congrats man.

Pursue your career and you'll be just fine.

Congratulations!!

Glad to see someone follow their dream! So many of us get stuck doing something we don't want to be doing, its ppl like you that we envy!


Good luck!
