Challenges Begin For A New Life What do you do after twelve years of seeing your friends five days a week, doing homework, and maybe even hold- ing down a job? From ninth grade on, parents, teachers, and counselors bombarcl students with the question, What are you going to do with your life? Students often feel pressured into making decisions about college or careers. Some people have known since they were little what they wanted to be. Others have to experiment first and look at all ofthe options before they find the lifestyle best suited for them. Val Girard, a 1982 graduate, worked at the Westland Dave Cook to save up enough money to attend Colorado Mountain College in January. She said listening to the excitement, challenges, and freedoms of college students makes her feel sort of left out. Fm sure I want to go now and what I want to do. My parents gave me their opinion but let me decide. Bryan Johns, who also graduated from GMI-IS in 1982, attended the Colorado School of Mines. There's no one looking over you. You have to take responsibility and motivate yourself. People go there strictly to get money when they get out. l'm going to college to learn. Take the time you need to decide what's best for you. Val Girard said, To know something about everything makes a person more interesting. When you learn, you grow. When you grow, you become something better. Learning goes far beyond the classroom setting.
