Hi everybody,
Another academic year has come to an end and other graduates experienced their last days at college.
You know, there is a difference between commencement and graduation. Graduation happens when one completes degree requirements, while commencement is the ceremony when students celebrate their accomplishments and get their diplomas. It’s an optional event for graduates.
After getting a diploma you can take post‑graduate qualifications to become an expert in a particular field. Or you can work as a volunteer, for instance at the animal shelter. Being a volunteer involves engagement, time, and passion. It allows you to gain experience and self‑commitment with no money in return.
I would like to take a gap and gain new experiences, especially abroad where I can learn a new language and immerse myself in a distinct culture.
Gaining knowledge is crucial to me as I develop my skills and self‑confidence. I know that when I work hard, I will achieve my goals. And that makes me independent and happy.
Do you sometimes think about what you want to do in the future?
