day 12: graduation

and today i write to you as an official high school graduate. six years of high school work and drama leads all down to this one day.
graduation itself wasn't that bad. there were a couple 'inspirational' speeches and it made me think. that is the last time the whole class of 2011 will be in one room together.
graduation itself wasn't that bad. however, as expected of myself, as i walked half way across the stage, my cap and my diploma fell onto the floor at the same time. it was a smidge embarrassing but at that point i didn't even care. that is me. i'm a klutz. i drop things. i fall. i'm just surprised i didn't fall on my face. this is me.
after wards, my friends and i took a lot of pictures. they were needed for the memories.
afterwards, i went out with my family for a late lunch/early dinner. i ate a lot.
and speaking of 'inspirational' speeches, i'll leave you with this.
high school allows you to do things you've never imagined. it is in high school where you explore the person you are and express the potential you can hold. no matter how far, nor how long time brings us, high school will always hold us together. no matter how much we yearn to spread our wings and fly away from this town, our hearts always belong at home, in nhp. it is here where we slowly turned from little kids to young adults to nearly adults in general. here we are. after years and years of seeing the same faces growing up, it is time for all of us to spread our wings and fly. even though may still want to linger about the nest, you can never look back with regrets. you can only push yourself forward and soar into the sky.
