As we approach graduation, seniors may find themselves thinking about what they hope for in the future, whether it’s the near future or farther away. Some may be wanting to get an education and pursue a career, while others may hope to get married and start a family, and some might feel like jumping directly into a career is what they want to do with their lives post-graduation. Regardless of what each individual wants, they all have one thing in common: They all hope to accomplish something to better themselves and their lives.

The word accomplishment has many different meanings and can be interpreted in several ways. Accomplishments are things that could have happened in the past and be something that you’re proud of, which is often what people think of when they stumble upon that word. What some people don’t always put into consideration is that accomplishments can be things that have yet to happen. Whether you’re a senior graduating with a plan in mind, taking a year off, diving into a job, or are confused and blindly jumping into the real world outside of high school, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. People will be there to help guide you in the direction you need to go so that you can achieve your ultimate goal in life, even if that goal is a bit fuzzy at the moment.
