Life after Diamond Bar High School was divided up into twobasic routes: either you were going to college or you were not going to college. Not going to college could mean entering the business world or starting a family, but for some people the future was muddled. I want to become rich.

It was the job of the career center and school activities such as College Night to make the transition easier. To some other students, the future was not only complicated but a little bit scary. It scares me to think that my whole life may have been decided in high school. Those B's may come back to haunt me, commented junior Ahm- ed Meguid.
