Early graduarion is an option rhar arises for many srudenrs, and is commonly rhe consequence of an inrensly enthusiastic pupil whose impassivity has allowed him ro obtain rhe previously stipulated quantity of courses and thus enables rhe said student ro possibly opr ro receive his degree previous ro rhe norm. A student who chooses ro graduare early may find many benifirs from doing so. First of all, a student can be completely finished with any form of schooling.

High school is probably rhe last free education rhar a person will receive. Reguardless of rhe consequences, someone who has earned rhe right ro decide, deserves rhe option.
