Now is the time to shine

After highschool students split up to find their true selves and follow their dreams. However these dreams vary and some may choose to go to college some may not and the reasons why vary as well.          Sixty nine percent of highschool students go to college shown by a poll taken at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However there must be some off putting factors for some students.     One student found was Matthew Millhomme a student of Central Kitsap Highschool(CKHS). The student claimed that “The debt you can aquire.” was a detterent for him. This is a huge factor in college a study done by www.debt.org said that the average debt jumped from eighteen thousand to thirty thousand in just a few years.         Another student from CKHS Diego Mcfadyen stated “I dont want to be far from my family.”            These are two of the many reasons that students may be afraid to go to college. But their fears should not hold them back from success
