As parents we always want the best for our children and when they achieve something special, we are there to congratulate and encourage them. May 30th was just such a day for the proud parents at M&H Valve whose children were graduating from high school. M&H was proud to host a luncheon catered by Classic on Noble to honor the graduates and their parents.
The world today is more competitive than ever before and the best thing young people can do for their career and future earnings is to finish high school. Street smarts just aren’t enough. An education gives them the tools they need to achieve the success they want.
Did you know that a high school dropout earns approximately $260,000 less over a lifetime than a high school graduate and is 72 percent more likely to be unemployed? In America, a high school diploma or GED is the minimum qualification needed to apply for most jobs that pay a decent wage, so young people should try to be as qualified as possible in order to increase their household income.
No matter how old you are or what circumstances you face, it’s never too late to finish high school. Finishing high school is something you will never regret, while not finishing is something you will always regret.
Congratulations to all the proud parents of the 2013 high school graduates!
