Graduation Coming Down

Ask ten people what their high school years were like, and you’ll probably get two answers, split right down the middle: Best years of my life, five will say. Worst years of my life, five others will vow.



But even those who absolutely hated high school and could not wait to get out — you know who you are — probably recall graduation itself as a pretty significant moment: either because one crucial phase of life was so obviously ending while another was about to begin, or because it meant they could finally do what they really wanted to do. You see college is a bliss!

 

But like my premise I too love and hate high school years. Yes they were awkward, but the mixed emotions of anxiety, pride, relief, excitement and not a little melancholy made it all worthwhile.
Did you still remember that familiar feeling of walking across a stage donning a cap and gown to shake hands and receive a diploma?

Unforgettable.
