A door to new beginnings

Congradulations is what many people said to me this lovely evening.

Today was my high school graduation, it was tons of fun. A final goodbye from friends who i can call brothers (since it's an all guy school). One of them was cutting it really close as we walked down the aisle but he made it in time to get his diploma. The speaker had a very heartfelt speech about his four years at my school, although i could only relate to two of those years, i still felt proud to be part of that family.

As we were all being called up one by one each of us did our own uniqe motion to receiving the diplomas. Some did the "Nixon" some danced (including me Gangnam Style) and one person even did a front flip. It was spectacular to recieve an uproar from the friends and family that attended.

This was done all in a heartfelt hour with a grand applause from everyone. Afterward everyone was taking selfies with friends for the last time, chatting with the teachers and just enjoying the moment.

Everyone had their own postgrad parties, some not until next week, but mine was just after. We attended a restaurant called Hokkaido, a Japanese buffet.

Slowly group by group all of my invited family and friends began to fill the lobby. Many of my mother's co-workers came to join the festivities. Once we were all there we had taken at least seven tables! This really surprised me by all the attendees. I never knew honestly. I also invited a previous alum and two of my teachers who were glad to be invited. We all chatted and took photos there. I even saw one of my fellow graduates there it was quite the surprise. Later one on of the coworkers invited me for a graduation swig which was funny. Also while we were there our "sister" (little family friend who we consider a sister) was having fun with the other little kids there even messing with my mini me.

The feast lasted long until about 10 when the party died down and everyone headed home. As soo. As i got home (with a temper tantrumed brother, he was cranky sleepy) i opened my envelopes filled with card with cards and money inside (it went up to be just around a grand!). I was glad to see how everyone wanted to wish me well as i enter into my college career.

Then i began to close the night off counting, drinking cider, and writing this.

Surely this will be one of those days i will never forget.
