I did IT!
Okay.. Today is absolutely the most fabolous day of my life! Today is our graduation ceremony. I just graduated from high school and my lil bro graduated from elementary. I'm not trying to arrogant or egoistic or anything, but the both of us graduated at the top of our class. I'm so proud of myself and bro for that.
And for the first time in my life, my father gave me a thumbs-up! For the first freakin time in the 16 years of my life! He gave me a thumbs-up! I know... i know.. It's quite lowly and idiotic. But if you're in my situation wherein you never get appreciated for what you do, a thumbs-up can do wonderful things.
Graduation ceremonies are happy but in the end, mostly everyone ends up crying. I, for one, cried. In our case here in my town, colleges are hard to find. We gotta travel to another place for a good college. That means me and my classmates (we've been classmates for 8 years!) will be saying goodbye. There is also a 10% chance of ever seeing each other again because we'll be taking different courses in different schools. That means different schedules. It's hard for my part since I'll be the farthest of them all. I don't care though, I didn't have any regrets when I shared my life with them.
Teachers were crying too but in a subtle way. It's quite moving actually, to ever realize that teachers WILL miss you. They cried... we cried... The only people who didn't cry were the outsiders who came to watch the ceremony.
Up to this moment, I still cannot believe that I had graduated from high school. It seems like yesterday that I entered the portals of secondary school. Now here I am, a graduate and a candidate for college. For me, that is a big step. I was never the risk taker, but here I am taking the biggest risk. In 3 weeks time, (yes... 3 weeks coz most of my vacation will be spent enrolling, checking out boarding houses and many more), I'll be leaving my family, friends and home. Up to now, I can't believe that me and my family are willing to sacrifice our time together just so I could get a high quality education.
If that isn't love... what is?
