Do you still remember that day when the crowd was all cheered up as you walked your way up to the stage after hearing your name from that long list of graduates? Fullfilling isn't it? How about when you were one of those who went up the stage to get a medal, an award or a sash? You must have felt that overwhelming pride thumbing over your chest too. You might have shed some tears of joy. In contrary, you might just puked due to some disappointments.
You might admit that your graduation ceremony could be one of the sweetest and remarkable days of your life. But others might feel that this wasn't worth remembering at all. Few might have felt that they just fought an unfinished battle.
I remember those days before my high school graduation when some of my classmates were all high just to get to the top of the honor roll. I was part of the star section so everyone there was really competitive that time. That inside-the-classroom competition has been a friendly battle though so we still maintained that healthy emotional bond as peers.
After the deliveration of the honor roll few days before our graduation day, most of us were happy with the result. However, I can also recall some hisses of silent protest due to other's little disappointments. But nevertheless, these people became receptive after a few days.
