March is graduation month. Reminiscing good old grad days both hs and college makes me kinda sentimental. I "certainly- definitely- absolutely" miss those days.
During all my grad days, all my loved ones are there to support and
witness my passing of age. They came to see me walked up the stage with or without honors or the popular tangible medals. They are always cheering me and proudly clapping their hands for a job well done. I guess, in a way, my parents are very proud of my achievement as a student back then. Modesty aside, I was never a pain in their butts when I was in school. I was always giving them good grades for I know its worth all their effort to send me to school. Though sometimes, it disappoints them whenever their expectations aren’t met like that of graduation with the so called –laude and honorable etc... nevertheless, i graduated, should i say, with flying colors!
When graduation comes, farewells and good byes are an added icing in the cake. Friendships gained are bound to be tested by time and distance.
I just gave a shrug. For I know, graduation isn’t the end of it all. All the medals, honors and good grades don’t guarantee you a good life ahead. When you’re out in the real world, everything is in a clean slate. And I know that, because I have been there & done that part!
So, to all the graduates, I salute to you a new life ahead. But always keep the memories tuck inside your heart. Treasure the true friendships gained, for it’s a very different out there. Most importantly, never forget the values and lessons learned, coz it will always come handy.
Congrats, graduates of 2008! Salute!
