Do you remember what it feels like to be one of 40 million units in the seventh largest industry in the United Sates? Do you remember senior-day pictures, cafeteria chili, the Homecoming dance, skipping seventh period? Do you remember the excitement and the chaos--and the fear--of your journey through high school? For most of us, high school is an end-point, the last major social experience we will share together in such numbers, the place where we pass from child to adult. From here, we go our separate ways--to work, to college, to marriage--but the commonness of the experience will shape our lives. More of us go to high school than marry; more graduate than have children. Being a senior, getting ready to face the world, means a year of final experiences, unnerving to some, but very special to us all.
