Hello fellow readcashers. This is Herbert. I'm here to write an article with the caption,"life after school".

I hope you like this article. This I think will glue you to this page until you finish reading. Thank you.

Life in school 

Life in school could be very interesting and full of fun you have your course mate you study with any most cases your parents and guardians who help with money for your upkeep. You go through tertiary education with very high hopes of making a first class and later Land in a very good paying job. Then comes the moment when you enter the final class after which you venture into the real world . It is at this juncture that it's dawns on most of us that ,"wow after this final year class I'm moving into a bigger classroom call the world."

The feeling is always a mixed one. On one part you are elated because you're heading out of school without the regular demands of exams and assignments on the other part you will miss most of the friends you have made on campus.

Lessons learnt...

If all you did well in school was to study nothing but your course then you missed a great deal of opportunities to learn beyond academics. Granted, you primarily go to school to study in whichever program you were offered. However there are a few other things that make the tertiary level more than a school and no wonder the word University is from the root word universal which means including or covering or collectively or distribute evenly Without limits or exception according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

There are some lessons learnt to which I will give a brief outline.,

Now let's dive in......

Without God, we're nothing

This lesson for me is the single most important lesson that I have learnt one School. It so happens that there were times where you could sit for an exam for instance then you come out of the exam hall and tell yourself," I may just have to resit this exam". I don't see myself passing. Somewhere somehow you see the results and you go like what happened what's my work swapped for someone else.

The Mark registered on your results slip is just unbelievable. Then he admits that there is a force and power behind it. Who could it be well if not God who else. School work can be frustrating and very demanding. It takes once total reliance on God for the strength to weave through the maze.

A team player

One reason education is very important in specially in today's global marketplace is the various ways we are made to work in teams on a project or assignment. Being a team player and a terrific one at that is one of the key parameters that are laid out clearly in most job ads lately.

The world of work has changed from being individual centred to team-oriented. the attention has shifted from individual performance to team performance even though we still individually have our responsibilities and benchmarks to meet. The power of a team cannot be underestimated. No wonder that someone said "TEAM means Together Everyone achieves more". That's incredible.

The power of choice

the power to make choices is one of the greatest opportunity every tertiary student is offered. As a student you have the power to choose between going for lectures and sleeping all day long. You have the sole right to the kind of people you associate with. You choose to take a boyfriend or a girlfriend. You can even make the choice of studying or not.

Despite the power given to us to make choices, there are consequences we have to live with whether good or bad. So if you make the choice to absent yourself from lectures for instance, be sure to face the possible consequence of missing out on very important information that could be helpful during examination. If you choose to study you are certain to Excel with distinction.

At this level almost every choice is within your power to make. The wiser the choices you make, the better the consequences. There are many times we have made unwise choices as students. What is important however, is for us to quickly learn from our mistakes and move on.

The world is not going to stand still waiting for you to make amends to mistakes you made yesterday. Don't brood over your mistakes for far too long. Learn the lessons so that when you are faced with a similar challenge someday, you can make a more informed choice or decision.

A sense of responsibility

Another outstanding lesson we can learn from school is having a sense of responsibility that you are responsible for your life and no matter how it turns out to be.

As great as this may sound, it is one thing many people run away from. You are solely responsible for your academics ,spirituality, social life and so on. In fact there are others who are even responsible for their finances.

This sense of responsibility is just as important in school as it is after school. You blame everyone but yourself for your problems and have no solutions to them or your face them squarely and integrate a solution. Are you responsible for your life, or do others run it for you?

Last but not least, is to live a balanced life.

Living a balanced life

In this aspect of your life. despite some situations you might find yourself in during school life, a balanced life is a very important ingredient in our bid to live successful lives both in or after-school. you cannot neglect your books in the name of attending every religious service on campus and expect pass. In like manner you shouldn't expect a rich social life if all you do is to lock yourself up in a little corner and study all day without reaching out to Make Friends and establish networks.

there should be a wise and healthy balance between your social, religious and academic life. When you live lop sided every other facet of your life begins to suffer. A balanced life is therefore a very crucial to the overall success in life.
