Graduation Day
“Graduation Day”
As the beautiful sky happily accompany sunrays, that shined down on the entrance of the field house where the ceremony of my graduation took place. Someone above must have known it was my graduation day and blessed me with a beautiful day. I was so excited, that the night before the graduation I couldn’t sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night, thinking about the graduation and if he’d even show up. I waited for this moment for four long years and I will make the best of it.
The entrance of the field house was filled with students, families, and school officials and conversation was excitedly exchange from one friend to another. I wondered around the place looking for my friends who are already laughing excitedly with each other. After searching through the crowd of people, I finally found them. I sneaked on them and suddenly without warning I tapped on one of my friends shoulder and yelled out “HEY.” She jumped as if the earthquake had occurred. She turned around and said, “You scare the hell out of me.” We were all laughing and the conversation began once more. “So what do we do afterward?” Janel said. We started to discuss whether we went out to eat later or we go our separate ways. My friend Delcarmen asked me, “What do you think? Where should we go after?” Janel looks at me and says “My family planned to go out and celebrate. Maybe we can meet and hangout later.” Delcarmen looks at me and asks, “Do you have any plan after this? If not, we should go out and celebrate, what do you think?” “My family wants to celebrate tonight as well. I’ll call you later and maybe we could go out or something.” I said. Del looks at the both of us and says, “We’ll talk about it later. We better get inside before the ceremony starts.”
As minutes pass by my anxiety begins to hit critical mass. Thousands of screaming families here in attendance to celebrate a moment of accomplishment with their newly graduates. Cheering, screaming, and crying create a sort of

    Today, June, 26th, 2012, is the day that we, as a class, are going to graduate the eighth grade. Of course, we all know that. But do we really understand what it all means? The definition of graduation is to complete a class or course of study. That’s it, the original definition of graduating. To me, graduation means more than that. It means growing, it means changing, and it means moving on. Today, the ceremony might seem like it's all happening too fast, or, it might seem like it's never going to end, but all our lives we'll remember it, and that's what counts. My two years of middle school have been a time to remember, I’ve learned a lot during my time in middle school, and these memories are what we are going to remember for the rest of our lives.…

    In the story “Graduation”, a young black girl feels anticipated and honored with her graduation day. However, on her graduation day, she feels frustrated and shadowy because Mr. Donleavy, a white man, delivers a speech to the graduating class of 1940. At first, Angelou is quite excited because she is proud of her academic achievements; besides that, she is also about to make a speech in front of many students. In addition, her mother also gives her a fancy dress with an abundance of embroideries and frills. Furthermore, many people also praise her of her wisdom. When Mr. Donleavy makes his speech, Angelou feels disappointed and bitter because his speech includes too much racism. In the uninspired speech, he says a little improvement will be done in black school, while a lot advanced equipment is offered in Central School (a white school). He also mentioned that all the black should pursue is those jobs at the bottom of the society such as maids and farmers.…

    In 5th grade I never wanted to leave Wolcott. I thought middle school was just filled with mean teachers, more work, and mean kids. I guess I was just stereotyping because that’s not at all what it had turned out to be. When I first walked through those doors to Sedgwick I was feeling a whole mix of emotions like happy, scared and excited.…

    The time came for all the graduates to line up and start heading on stage to begin the ceremony. The walk to the podium seemed to take forever, as if we were waiting in line at Cedar Point. I just wanted to get my college degree, and get the day over with, but we had to wait for the band to start playing as well as the Valedictorians and Salutatorians to begin. I was excited and scared at the same time because I knew that once I walked across that stage everything would be different. The sound of the cheering, the stately music, the solemn atmosphere, and the joy of the students all play a part in creating this spectacle.…

    Finally, the ceremony ended. I got out of my chair glad not to be sitting down any longer. I looked around for my family. We went to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. As we walked there, the small tight high heels I was wearing made my feet hurt. As we walked through the door, I heard the the quiet buzzing of people all around me. The inside of the building seemed like it was as small as the inside of a tent. As I was waiting impatiently for the food, I spotted a girl from my school who also was graduating. I wanted to say something to her, but she seemed too busy with her family. The food finally came. The food and dessert was as good as if it were brought from heaven. I finished my…

    “I've blamed myself enough for all the mistakes I've done during college.” And funny how I said that as though I'm already done with college. To tell you upfront, I'm still in college (that should be obvious) but most of my batch-mates are graduating (or have graduated) already. I really thought college was going to be an easy peasy affair.…

    Soon we’d be able to walk through the fully decorated gym where the ceremony would take place. At this point I was filled with total excitement, I was ready to hear “Pomp and Circumstance March Number 1” and walk to my seat. As I walked in, I looked up and saw my mom standing there in the midst of parents with tears in her eyes waving her hand fifty miles an hour and taking pictures; I started crying again, whenever she cries, I cry.…

    As it came closer and closer to party time I began to think about what my gut was telling me earlier. “Don’t go” is what I kept hearing in my head. All I repeated to myself was that nothing was going to happen and I have nothing to worry about. My friend Jerome called me again and asked can he ride with me. Of course with him being my friend I said yes. I hopped in the shower, threw on my clothes, and was on my way to pick up Jerome. When I pulled up, his mother answered the door. When I walked through the door I saw Jerome on the couch. His mom was giving him the same lecture my mother gave me. When she was done we jumped in my beat up Ford Explorer.…

    It was January and Julie was in the middle of class writing about some Roman God when a crumpled paper rolled on her desk. She unfolded it and a note was written on the paper, “Would you go out on a date with me?” Being in denial, she rolled her eyes and threw it on the ground. Later that day at lunch, a cute guy came over and sat at her table which consisted of Julie and her friends. She acted like he was not there and like she didn’t know him when in fact it was Danny, the “basketball heartthrob” everyone’s talking about. She also remembered him because he was the guy who got hit on the head with a ball. Every girl in the school is apparently going after him, but rumor has it he likes this one girl but no one knows who it is. It was still silent when finally Danny started talking, “Umm… so why didn’t you respond to my note in English?” At that time, Julie being a teenage girl wanted to show how surprised she was but having self-control she replied, “I thought you missed Bella’s (Julie’s friend) desk and it hit mine instead.” Danny looked at her confused so he asked her why she would think…
