"You'll never use this after high school" - That was a lie.
Remember when teachers and classmates said you'd never use what you learned in school again? Six years after graduating, I'm here to tell you the truth: learning never stops. In this video, I share my real-world experience from 2019 to now - retaking the ASVAB, pursuing higher education, commissioning prep, cyber work, and how the "useless" high school knowledge has followed me every step of the way.
From boot camp to the Marine Corps, from retaking standardized tests to pursuing a degree, to preparing for officer programs - the same math, reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills I learned in high school have been the foundation for every career advancement I've made.
If you're still in school thinking "when will I ever use this?" or you've already graduated and realized the truth - this video is for you.
