For many, graduation marks the end of formal student life - the end of long spring breaks and of thinking that a 10 A.M. class is far too early.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You think school ends when it ends, but it doesn't.
No graduation speaker will ever tell you that the future is anything but uncertain. It never is. But graduations need not only be obsessed with looking ahead; a graduation can be a day on which we turn back and trace our steps to see how we ended up where we are.
High school isn't necessarily the best time of your life.
Every year, I am reminded of the kids who aren't in the freshman class and aren't graduating. I remember every single one of them. That is the worst of times for me, to see the future snuffed out.
It's so important to understand your good attendance ups your chances of graduating.
I'm visiting my high school. Every half year I do the exams, and then this year I'm going to graduate.
I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.
It is wonderful to say that your days behind a school desk are over. It's just another phase in your life.
A freshman has only about 25% of his degree completed. They go off to play professional basketball, and to assume they will come back and get the degree done five, six, seven years later, I don't see that happening.
We don't stop going to school when we graduate.
