When we are young, we rarely realize what do we actually need from life. Though people do make plans and have desires, they seldomly understand which path do they have to take in order to achieve tangible results in any sphere.

For instance, when I was an adolescent I thought that high school is not necessary and decided not to get a diploma. I faced all the hardships of trying to find a job that would satisfy my needs (like paying the loan for my car, buying nice clothing, going out on weekends) and ego that was constantly pressuring my mind, but soon I came to the conclusion that without the diploma I will fail to achieve anything in my future life, in other words, I am going to be weak in the contemporary world of fierce competition.

Consequently, I went back to school to receive my diploma, and now I have a well-paid job and am pretty stable financially. My only concern as of today, is to make sure that my children will never follow my unintelligent steps and understand the value of high school education earlier then I did.
