Graduating from high school unlocks a wide range of opportunities. For starters, you will have the chance to continue with even higher education by taking entrance exams for universities or technical schools. Even just by graduating from high school and stopping there, the range of work you can do greatly increases.

It is worth noting that unlike in junior high, high schools are filled with students who commute from much further away than the school’s local neighborhoods, giving you the chance to meet lots of new people. Through high school life, you’ll also have the chance to learn more about yourself (interests, strengths and weaknesses).

Consider going to high school as you do your research and talk with people you trust, such as your family and teachers.
