    Default Graduations

    My little brother is graduating from Middle School tonight. He's growing up so fast. ;____; This is the second time I've ever attended a graduation that wasn't my own, the first time being my brother's Elementary School graduation. Awww.

    Do you enjoy graduations? Do you get emotional during them? What was the last graduation you attended (besides your own, if that's the last one)?

    No, not really; no, not at all; and my sister's Graduation from College two years ago (one of the only two graduations that matter).

    I graduated with another degree of awesome last week. :chef:

    Yeah, I enjoy the festivities of graduations, but unless you know a lot of the people graduating the ceremony can get quite boring.

    Some are better than others, elementary school's cool. Middle school is the BEST. High School is fine...College(don't know) but I'm guessing it's the crappiest. I think they're WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better in other countries than here.

    Graduations are really only worth attending if there is free food there, otherwise I dont go.

    I've only gone to three graduations: mine, my sister's, and my brother's from high school (going back in time). I found both my sibling's graduations rather long and boring, and my own a little less long and boring (mine was better because I was playing in the bad for it )

    no matter how important something might be (ie. a giant meteor is in the sky and threatening the planet) you can always just stop in at the Golden Saucer and gamble on some dodos running around a track.

    I got upset when our year left high school, but it was amazing. People who didnt even know you gave you a hug and wished you luck, the teachers let their hair down and were all fantastic with us. Same with primary school and college, everyone just hugged and gave out gifts, they were all great. And I cried at all 3 of them

    I've been to mine and my sister's high school graduation. That's it, I think. Oh, and my middle school one and Sarah's middle school one.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    My high school graduation was pretty good. Too hot under those gowns, though. I'm looking forward to next year when I get my BA diploma because that will actually mean something.

    The last one would probably be my younger brother's from elementary school. And I will be out of middle school for good tomorrow.

    I graduated about three weeks ago. Before that, the last graduation I attended was the day before, on my birthday, for Ardmore High School in Ardmore, OK. My cousin's graduation. It was such a fake graduation. Outside, and people were allowed to wear jeans and tennis shoes underneath their robes. They had 3 valedictorians and 2 salutatorians, which is pretty retarded.

    I don't really enjoy them because they're boring, and graduating high school really isn't a big deal unless you're in it.

    Ok, seriously, I've attended 5 high school graduations, for my own high school. And 2 for other high schools. That's a bit nuts.

    I started going in 2002 for my brother's graduation. And I just haven't stopped going since. This last graduation I went to a few weeks ago is the last one I'll ever go to for my high school since the younger kiddies who were my friends and minions have all graduated now. Class of 2006 was the last of the bunch.

    One of my minions (I call them minions but they're more like little sisters) sang "Our Prayer" at this last graduation and it was soooooo beautiful. I was about to cry I was so proud of her. But yes, I made candy necklaces for them and gave it out to all my graduating minions and I got a little teary eyed thinking back to when they were just freshman who were a little afraid of me. They grow up too fast! *sobs*

    The one thing that doesn't change year to year are the horrible, cliche speeches. One of my best friends wrote an amazing speech my graduating year and it was smart and witty, and lots of dry humor. They refused her speach because it didn't speak highly about the school. I hate all that, "thank you so much for guiding us like fish in a mighty river" crap that most of the graduating speeches consist of.

    I'd like to hear something real for once, but it's always censored. =/

    pffft! :laugh:

    No no, but I'm laughing in a good way, so don't ban me. Touching, I never thought Miriel was tough and full of emotions.
