It's true that most of us don't like school. Just ask anyone you know. I doubt you'll find someone who really and truly loves it. This goes double for high school. It's a mere stepping stone. It's one of life's imperatives. The majority of us do it in order to avoid becoming outcasts and getting stuck with a crappy job at a local fast food dive. However, when high school is over, we jump with joy. Sure, there may be some doubts. Maybe a slight sense that you'll miss it all, but then once it's long gone, you realize that you don't. Now, there is another up-side to being done with school. It's called graduation gifts and cash. This can apply to high school and college. So, do you have and good graduation gift ideas?
Back in the early 90s when I graduated from high school, I was relieved. I wanted out of that prison so badly. No wait; I mean that dungeon. Prison is where you're locked up and restricted from the outside, but the dungeon is where you're tortured. That's pretty much what my high school was. It was torture with a nice smiley academic face on it to fool the parents. Does this sound familiar? I recall my Algebra 2 teacher didn't even take the time to grade my test once. He just wrote the word "NOPE" on the top. Now that's messed up! Who does this sort of thing? I'll tell you who; a sadist torturer. Anyway, graduation was soon on the way. There really wasn't a great deal to fret about. I'm sure my folks had a few amazing graduation gift ideas. Then finally the day was present. I couldn't wait to see what kind of rewards I would get. I mean come on; graduation from high school is a big deal. Once I snatched that diploma from some old fart's hand, I was good to go. Later that evening my mother gave me a plane ticket to a foreign land so that I could spend the summer with my best buddy. She also spotted me a grand for expenses. This was SWEET! Talk about cool graduation gift ideas.
| Bit of History |
The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person, and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.
| —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) |
