 "And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun!"

Here's a guy that's a bit old to be starting college, or in this case, finishing high school! He missed the starting gun!

Reduced shadows.
Increased color saturation, brightness and contrast.
Touched a bit of the soft focus to reduce the graininess.
Reduced size and crop.

This shot is too full of uninteresting elements and hasn't been framed well

This image lacks the "wow" factor of some of the other entries, but I do believe that it is a fitting image for the title that you chose.

Sorry but this seems a little "snapshottish" to me, could be better composed. If I may make a friendly suggestion it would be to try shooting from a different angle next time, like going down to the ground and shooting upwards or the other way around, should lead to a more interesting result.

I don't really understand how the title fits this picture, but that aside, the picture has quite a bit of noise and the colors are a little dull. Try NeatImage and a saturation boost.

There is too much sidewalk at the bottom of this photo. I would've cropped it a bit more.
