Graduation Day
After high school "people stop being polite and start getting real". I'm getting to be so grown up and such a young woman , but in some ways I must admit there is a piece of me that will always be a "toys r us kid". growing up means more responsibilities, new friends, possibly new love interests, and new careers to think of, but as Scarlet O'Hara said in Gone with the Wind, "I won't think about that today, I'll go crazy if I do, I'll think about that tomorrow , after all tomorrow is another day". There I was the year 2000 staring me right back in the face, a bittersweet moment, like putting a lemon in your mouth that has been coated with sugar. even the song from Mary Poppins, "Just a Spoon Full of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down," did not settle the nerves in my stomach. I had just picked up my attire for this affair, my cap and gown, but the only problem was that it was so gargantuan that I resembled Dopey from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves! although I was graduating from high school, I felt in some way transported back to my grade school days, having to relearn our ABC's to line up in alphabetical order. I was "M" as in magnifi
cent, which I thought I was this very day, but for some reason the line was so unorganized that I had the Z's behind me. I was so elated, but I asked myself, why am I so happy? I am leaving all my friends and classmates and the school I loved with every ounce of my being. Also, trying to find the right dress and shoes to match was a problem. Graduation rehearsal had also been a disaster. I went up, received my diploma (remember: shake with the right hand receive with the left). We were also forced to endure the cruel world of sitting through speeches from people whom I've never heard of. Well, here I am now in college and I say to myself, here we go again, getting older, looking for careers that will fit the lifestyle we want. But you know of course it will all be well worth it. We also got a visit from dragon flies. It poured bucket on top of buckets the night before, which made the field all muddy. I could see how proud she was of me. I again transformed into a heavenly devil in hopes that the so called girls in cliques would be wearing white high heels. Now, someday in my life I will get married and raise a family of my own and I will know not only how my family felt in the year 2000, but I'll also feel the effects of how fast time is and how cruel it can be. Then just as quick as it started it ended.
