Choose A

Script:

Having graduated from high school, many school-leavers are looking to start a new chapter of their lives. At higher education or vocational schools, independence is needed to be successful in pursuing further education. Here are some independence skills that you should have before leaving high school.

In most universities, colleges or vocational schools, it is the students who choose their classes and manage their own schedule and time. Students should take responsibility for themselves as there are neither parents nor teachers reminding them to go to classes or do their homework. Getting into the habit of making a to-do-list is useful. You can also use a calendar to keep track of what you have to do and when.

As students get more mature, they are encouraged to be more independent in their learning. Teachers expect students to learn by themselves with minimal guidance. Being independent learners also means being able to motivate yourself and evaluate your own performance.

It's also important that students know how to manage their finance. You can set a monthly budget and choose which to spend money on first. Whether you get allowances from your family or have a part-time job, managing your money is essential for your journey ahead.
