There are two types of mornings: good and bad. Bad are those that usually occur during the weekends. The dreams are never finished to watch, warm bedding does not want you to go, and a little puppy desires even more attention than ever. To counterbalance it, good mornings are those that allow you to sleep until the midday and let the world wait. However, there was one particular day when everything has changed. I was waiting for my alarm to ring and could not wait to get up to proceed with my preparations for the day. That was the year of 2010, my graduation from County High School that is in Lafayette, Indiana. I jumped out of my bed, rushed to the window and took a very deep breath. The morning air was full of special fragrant. I could …show more content…
Cereals in the milk felt also different. It seemed like those little chocolate balls were making various greeting words while I was catching them with every spoon of milk as I was hungry as a wolf. Presumably that was the result of my great willingness to finally start the day. Everything seemed to be full of energy and was inviting me to go and get ready for my graduation ceremony. When we arrived to the place, I could not believe my eyes: everybody seemed to be different. My friends looked even more willing to share their morning experience than ever. I received sincere smiles from various strangers, but it did not seem unusual. However, it really seemed like everything has changed. Even the birds were producing different melodies than usual by warming up their voices in the sunny trees. All of my friends and family came to share my happiness, and they were present throughout the whole graduation ceremony. Despite the fact that most of such official events seemed to be quite boring for me before, this one passed like a snap of the finger. Even those speeches that I expected to be the most boring seemed to be quite encouraging and …show more content…
Buying a suit and choosing a corresponding tie was quite an interesting activity. I felt like a popular star that needs something very special for the special event. I am thinking of keeping that outfit in the attic and show it to my children in the future. Maybe they will be able to feel the scent of that unusual morning and the whole positiveness of the day. We went home and spend some time with my friends and relatives after the memorable photo session. We were spending time outside with barbeque, music and jokes. We all had a great time. Everybody remembers that day as a very special: even the mosquitoes did not bite. We played various games with a ball and did not notice the first star on the sky. Then more stars appeared and we saw the Plough. Then we rushed to the telescope to observe more beautiful night creatures. When I look back to those times, I feel that now I value such moments even more. I have expected a regular graduation ceremony and standard fellowship time after it. During that day, I felt that happiness and positive emotions fulfilled my whole body and mind. Now I feel more conscious of those times and analyze that event from a bit different
Graduating high school was really exciting for me, but at the same time I was apprehensive because I knew it was a significant milestone in my life and I didn't know what to expect with college. However, the freedoms provided by college ending up being wonderful. I love being able to completely manage my time on my own and make my own decisions. I graduate college next May. If I were not going to grad school I would probably be dreading it because I don't think I'm ready for the "real world" and having a 9-5 job yet. So, since I am continuing my education it's going to be exciting since I will be moving to a new state and meeting new people.
It was early, the sun was just beginning to peak over the mountains that lined the distant horizon. The breeze carried with it the scents of dew and the variety of wildflowers that grew along the lake shore. Flocks of birds flew over head, their cries piercing the silence of morning.
Wow, three years have passed and the last day is just as long as the first. Three years of hard discipline and learning to get used to homework every night. Three years of standing on the front steps waiting for my parents and saying goodbye to my teachers. I never thought the goodbye might be permanent. 6th grade came and I was looking up at those giant 8th graders, and now I guess I’m one of them. 6th grade, and I was saying hello, and now 8th grade has come and it’s gone from introductions to goodbyes as my last days as a middle school student wind down.
That morning was the morning I learned that sometimes happiness is quite easy to achieve as long as one can take a step back and realize what they have. My brother has been gone for almost eight years, and that is the best memory I have of him. That is the story I shared at his funeral, and I made sure everyone knew how important it is to slow down for once and just think about how many positive things can outweigh the negative ones. Life is not eternal and there is never enough time in the world to achieve everything everyone wants. Doing what is possible and living life to the fullest is all that can be
As I turned left on the new road, I decide to take to school today. I could smell f wild mint, this was refreshing because the old road would sometimes smell of onions, and at times I would want to cry. At my next turn right
And who can forget the friendships we've made along the way? Some will last a lifetime, and some will last no longer than tomorrow, but either way, it's okay because we will forever be impacted by it. As a class, we've laughed together, cried together, skipped class, failed tests, aced tests we forgot we were taking and now, we're graduating together. Whatever the event, we did it as a whole.
In conclusion, I had a really great graduation and I enjoyed the experience. I got to feel what it was really like to go through the process of preparing for graduation. Trying to find the perfect dress, the perfect hairstyle, and controlling my anxiety. I have described to you how I survived the most important day of my life and how I went through
...ming with life. The smell of the flowers was intense and enlivening. The breeze that was not restricted by car windows, the heat that was not reflected by a rooftop or eradicated by air conditioning, the rain that was not repelled by anything more than my poncho, I was one with all of it. As I biked past, I moo'd as loud as I could at the cows in the fields and felt happy doing it. I even occasionally rode in the van when I was tired.
Everybody in high school looks forward to graduation day. I was looking forward to graduation myself, but I had a higher goal in mind. I wanted to be in the top 20% of my graduating class. At the beginning I didn’t know how I was going to get there, but I knew that no goal was ever too hard for me to accomplish. Failure wasn’t an option, so I kept my mind set on the bigger picture. Hard work, dedication, and wise decision making helped me to accomplish my graduation goal.
I stopped walking and looked up at the faint stars. The seagulls were flying overhead. They were screeching and swooping at the water. I started to wish I were one of them, flying free without any restrictions or limits. I listened to their voice, the screech. Deep down in I could understand what they were saying. I can't explain it, but I was so in love with the moment I thought I saw things as they did. I was in company of animals that had no concept of time, and no worries, and I was contempt with that. I closed my eyes and the faint sun warmed my face, as if shining only for me. The warmth made ...
I scarcely snoozed at all, the day before; incidentally, I felt insecure regarding the fact of what the unfamiliar tomorrow may bring and that was rather unnerving. After awakening from a practically restless slumber, I had a hefty breakfast expecting that by the conclusion of the day, all I wanted to do is go back home and sleep. Finally, after it was over, my dad gladly drove me to school; there, stood the place where I would spend my next four years of my life.
Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away. Rolling hills lay before me that undulate until they crash into golden purple mountains. Oh how they are covered in spectacular fauna, ever blooming foliage, and trees that are heavy with pungent fruit. Green it is always so green here at my house. Here where the air lays heavy and cool on my skin as does the striking rays of the sun upon my cheeks. I know in my soul why I choose to be here every day. Pocketed in all the nooks and crannies of these valleys and hills are stately homes, rich with architecture resplendent. Diversity is the palate here; ...
The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
For most people their graduation day is one of the best days of their lives. No more high school, and for some it means that they are now able to move out on their own and embark on the independent journey of college. In my case my graduation day started out to be a great day but turned out to be one of the worst. It is almost as if I wish I never had a ceremony. If there wasn't graduation ceremony there wouldn't have been an accident.
Graduation was the most important day in my life. I waited for this amazing day for twelve years to reach my dream and move on to college. For most people, graduation is a memorable day. It is hard for me to forget it even after a hundred years. The day I woke up realizing it was my graduation day, I was smiling all day long knowing that I had made my family proud of me. I remember everything about my graduation day: my party, cake, dress, makeup, hair, cap and gown, and the gifts I got from family and friends.
