What do the students at FSU plan to do after they graduate?

In today's world there is often a lot of pressure on students to do well in college and be successful. Often students begin their college years knowing exactly what they want and devote much time and effort to getting the best grades and obtaining their goals. However, many other students begin college not knowing what they want and often don't have just one goal in life that they want to achieve. People's plans for life after college often change as they grow and mature, they are influenced by the people around them, new surroundings and the ongoing changes in the world that we live in today.

Today I decided to interview some of the students at Frostburg State University to find out what dreams and aspirations the youth of today have for the future. On entering the crowded lane center at Frosturg State University I was met by dozens of potential interviewees. First up was Freshman student from PG County MD, Whitney Russel. Whitney told me that her main goal for after she graduates is to "have a good job and be happy". Still undecided in her major here at Frostburg State, Whitney would like to settle for a career in Human resources eventually but is unsure yet as to what path she will take. Travelling the world was another plan that Whitney has for her future although as she is still young at 18, Whitney has no solid decisions for where she would like to go. Whitney plans to keep an open mind with regard to her future before making any definite decisions.

Schuleta Moseley is a softmore student here at Frostburg State University majoring in Early Education. When asked about her plans after graduation Schuleta excitedly explained that herself and some friends plan to go on a grad trip to Las Vegas. "I'll be 21 then, so I'll be legal to do whatever I want..". Of course the young girl from Baltimore also desires to obtain a good career and settle down. " I love children so I wanna be an elementary school teacher" Schuleta explained. As a big lover of children it was no shock that Schuleta also wants to get married and raise a big family.

The last student I spoke to was Physical health education major Delaney Tenca from Germantown Maryland. The determined softmore student was very definite about her plans after graduation. "I want to teach Health and physical education in highschool whilst coaching field hockey in my spare time". Delaney knows exactly what she wants for her future and plans to work hard in order to achieve her goals and be happy. Although she does have a few other hopes for her future it is these goals that she plans on focusing on in the near future.

Overall it seems that most students today want to be as sucessful as possible after they graduate. The majority of students want to have a good career and be happy in the future. Although there is no way of telling exactly what the future holds in this big modern world that we are living in,the students of FSU will undoubtedly do their best to study hard and make obtaining their goals after graduation a possibility.
