The Day my Life changed
Graduation is a well waited for ceremony in life. Everyone looks forward to this special day, but I knew there was going to be more to my graduation than getting my diploma. This day meant new changes in my life, the time to become a new person, to grow up, to follow my life long dreams and separate the responsibilities from the fun. I never thought graduation would mean that much to me, since I always change from grade to grade. My high school graduation was the most significant life changing event that I have ever experienced. On the morning of May 29, 2004, the day of my Graduation, I woke up feeling so stressed out. Still to this day, I do not know why I became so stressed. Once I got motivated to get up and move around, I jumped into the shower. As I got into the shower, I could not stop worrying about messing up at graduation. When I got out, I still felt unclean. Then I had to prepare for the starting of my adulthood making this morning so much different than the rest. I felt so rushed, even though I had all the time in the world. My parents played a big part in that day. They always knew if I needed their support. Whether I could of used advice, a hug, or even a shoulder to cry on.
I had a million thoughts going through my mind. The reason why I did not say goodbye because saying goodbye meant forever. The heat also put a dampened mood on my joyful night. I started to head toward the stage, and I almost fell to the ground. Once the speeches finished, they started calling the names of the graduates. After graduation, every emotion that I thought of, hit me at once. My dad and I had talked for hours because I became so nervous about starting my adult life. Taking these pictures took about three and half hours. After that night past, I knew my life had changed for good. I got dressed in my khaki pants, white long sleeve shirt, and a narrow, black tie. The whole time I spent walking to my seat, it seemed like the clouds provided the basin to walk upon. We all stood in our little groups waiting to hear the next step to graduating on this night. There were so many people running around and it made it hard to be in the right spot. Even though everyone felt the same way as I did, it still seemed like I was the only one with that feeling. I suppose the realization finally sank in that the last time I would see my classmates all at once would only occur today.
