As we walked across the stage on May 22 to receive our diplomas, suddenly the future looked foggy. Even for those who seem to have the rest of their lives planned out, they had to think again for a second. After all, we were thinking about a lifetime. For most seniors, there were two choices - work or college. Although the working world may have offered more immediate gratification, those who could endure another four years of school saw a bright future. Modern technology also improved the hopes of many for the future. Those skilled in the area of computers, were almost guaranteed work. As computers advanced, there will always be a need for someone to run them. Although the future spurred an automatic fear within us. it also created a hope. This hope was generated by the fact that we could now control our future and what we make of ourselves. Our diplomas were the key to the future, but it is what we do with them that is now important.
