The Dip

Once I pressed that big submit button, there was nothing more I could do. Last Thursday as I submitted one of my first college applications, a million thoughts rushed to my head. However, I knew that once I pressed submit, I reached my limit and there is nothing else I could do. Today in class we read, "The Biggest Mistake They Made in School" by Seth Godin. In this article Godin used an image of a dip to show the cycle humans go through in parts of their life. I think at this point in my life I am climbing out of a dip. I have just submitted my application for my next phase of life and after four years, I will be concluding High School. High School itself acts as a dip for it shows the paths of life students are taking. Some students may think High School is too overwhelming and may struggle to pass, while others may have discovered their passion. Regardless of the situation a student is in people can agree that it is easy to graduate, yet getting there is challenging. As I know from personal experience there are many aspects of High School other than actual school, that are challenging, such as making friends or making a sport team. Needless to say, as I graduate High School I think I will be concluding on dip and entering another dip, world of college.
