  Guess Who's Graduating Today?
June 5, 2011 9:07:34 AM    View the profile of Skarr 
Today is my graduation from high school. And it's really going to suck. But I have to go. And there is a point to all this rather than toot my own horn, so to speak.

I was wanting a discussion on your favorite graduation memories, or even memories of senior year. Go, go!

Congrats Skarr!

Memories of my senior year hmm...Would have to be my Outdoors class, we had 4 guys (teacher included) and the rest of us were women They were very nice to me and we had a whole bunch of good times. Best class EVER! I also remember when I ranted for two minutes in a small auditorium because we were talking about beauty in general, then we got to the part of a person's inner beauty and my homeroom teacher spoke of another Special Needs student and all the qualities she had given him were also mine so I thought she was talking about me the whole time until she mentioned his name, I was going through true hell at the time...It was like 9th grade all over again so I took a few minutes to gather up the courage to raise my hand in this 250 seat auditorium and ranted for 2 minutes and expressed my wish for my end of the year to be better in the end. I didn't think about what I was saying it just...came out...When i was done I was shaking like a leaf and felt very tired because of all the emotions I  had experienced in that moment. When I had finished speaking there was a moment of silence -and then everybody applauded. Later on I found out through one of the Special Needs personnel that I had brought everybody to tears. After that things were a little better but not by much...

As for the actual graduation ceremony, even if you don't want to go you have to think past the ceremony. after these few hours you will be free from high school and will be moving on to greater things, interesting things, will meet new people, have countless new experiences and all depending on how bad your classes were in terms of maturity...Will be surrounded by people with a higher maturity level or one equal to yours for the most part.

Big Congrats Skarr!!

I graduated.......a few years ago......but regardless it was on Miami Beach at the convention center. We had 1000 in my graduating class (5,500 at my school in all) and I was number 69...yes 69 its okay to laugh ironically, anywho, it was cool had lots of pictures taken and I didn't trip as I crossed the stage, so win!

I graduated twice after that, in community college and for my bachelors degree, plus being in band and now as a teacher I've been to more graduations than I care to recall. But they are always a special occasion to be celebrated.

Enjoy yourself for a few days before you return to your new reality Skarr, you've earned a 72 hour partay

We dont have graduation ceremonies really, not a big thing here.

Matriek Afskeid or Prom if you will was a disastar for me, went through some hectic teen angst, XD

A memory that will stand out for me?

2 nights before writing my final national exam, some girls and I tried to sneak out of the boarding school. We wanted to go skinny dipping.

Ended up in raiding the fridge, etc etc. We didnt like eachother that much, but we've all been together for 5 years, sharing rooms, bitching at one another. Shouting and crying, and so it was a beautifull way to end our time together.

We have a tradition at my school,

When we finish our last paper, we jump into the school pool from the diving board wearing our uniform.  Got sick as hell since it was still winterXD

Skarr, CONGRATUALATIONS! XD

When I graduated, I thought to myself,
Shit, Ive seen everything, there is not much more I can learn.

Hopefully you wont be as naive XD

If  we're talking prom....I guess it was nice and quiet but I didn't enjoy mine simply because my mother took my glasses away AND my cane so VI person  trying to enjoy prom while trying to not get herself killed or get a heart attack from being badly startled...Kinda difficult

Heh. Congrats! Now you get to be free of all that fun stuff. I just graduated two weeks ago. I enjoyed it but mostly because I ended the year with a great group of friends who are all artistic like I am.

Oh goodness... memories of high school? Well, I guess I will definitely remember all my drum major moments and all my random lunch table conversations. Needless to say, they were extremely weird. And definitely I will remember my creative writing class. Imagine putting a bunch of writers who are all perverse in one room and that was that class. So many things went down there, but it was truly an amazing class.

But my most memorable part of senior year was definitely the fake love note I and two others sent to this one kid in my graphic art class. The guy said they were the best love notes he had ever received. LOL.

You better be. It was an all senior class and it counted for my last English credit. Luckily we had enough people because I did NOT want to do AP English.

But yeah, we did all sorts of stuff; wrote short stories, screenplays, poems, and such. The nice thing about that class was that it kept me writing throughout the year even if the current unit wasn't one I liked all that much. I even headed up the Creative Writing Club at my school though attendance sucked.

Ah...graduation. At my school we were allowed to pair up and sit beside whomever we wanted, so the order was completely random. Unfortunately for me, I'd decided too late to come out of my shell and hadn't really connected strongly with anyone in the few months since I had. I ended up being one of the few without a partner. So the teachers in charge of organizing it paired me up with a kid I'd never talked to before and put us in the first pair of empty seats in the first row...and so I ended up being the first one across the stage. lol. My mom wasn't expecting it and almost missed getting the picture.

Probably my favorite thing about my senior year was English class. It was the only class I had aside from a tech-school business class I did in the mornings. However, the teacher was really old and just didn't care to make us do anything. So my senior AP English class consisted of bringing my Nintendo 64 games and controllers, my friend bringing his Nintendo 64, hooking it up to the projector in the classroom, and playing Mario Cart 64 all hour. It was great!
