During the last year on the secondary school, usually in November, there is a very special party organized by the students, who are in the last grade, their parents and teachers. This party is called Green ribbon party, because the main event at the party is giving the students green ribbons, which are the symbol of hope and maturity. Although, all of the Green ribbon parties have a similar course, each of them is in some way exceptional. And our celebration of maturity was really unforgettable.
But organization of Green ribbon party was not as simple as we thought and there were many preparations connected with it. We had reserved a room in hotel Baronka, where our Green ribbon party took place almost year ago, otherwise it could be too late.
According to traditions, in the time of Green ribbon party students should send their friends and relatives special cards (maturity notices) to let them know, that they are going to finish their studies at the secondary school.
So at first we had to invite photographer, who made photos for our maturity notices. Then we had to design our maturity notice. As we were not able to agree on a one type, finally we had two types of maturity notice, so everybody could choose, which notice he wanted to send.
Another needed thing for festive events, such a Green ribbon party, is formal clothing. But the price of the robes is usually very high. I had decided to borrow some robe from a rental company, because I usually don't take part in celebrations like that, so it wouldn't be very worthwhile to buy such expensive robe only for one occasion. So two months before Green ribbon party I went with my mother to rental company to reserve some robe. Assortment of robes was great, so...

...nner, because it was nearly 8.00 p.m. But many of my classmates didn't eat the dinner, because they were too nervous.
After the dinner we started preparing the scenes. The space after the dinner was filled up with selling tombolas tickets. Then began the 2nd part of the programme, our scenes, in which we replayed the funniest moments from our school years. I think, that the programme was really good and everybody liked it.
After the programme DJ switched his tower on and most of the teachers and parents moved to parquet. At the midnight began the tombola. Everyone, who had bought the ticket, had a chance to win funny prizes. And some of our teachers and parents won even twice!
At 1.00 a.m. the teachers and parents slowly fade away, but we were entertaining till 4.00 a.m. So our Green ribbon party was an exciting event, which I will never forget.
Long before the early 19th century, the idea of ceremony-specific clothing, particularly for a one-time event, was beyond the financial means of the vast majority of the population. People tended to wear their most fashionable garments, with no real consideration of one-time use or symbolism of color or style.

While the mood continues to be pleasant, the village gathers for what would appear to be a joyous festival everyone looks forward to. “The lottery was conducted –as were the square dances, the teen-age club, the Halloween program… (p.445).”

Within my school, I was Co-president of the National Junior Honor Society group for our school’s annual Parking Lot Party (PLP). For this project, I, along with the help of my other officers, led a group of students to create a set of games and activities for the PLP, which came out with very good results and lots of smiles from the students who both played the games and volunteered for them. From this experience, I have learned how much I enjoy planning an event and seeing it executed successfully with positive results on my community, and I hope that I can continue to do this in YAC.
When a wife surprises her husband on his birthday, an ironic turn of events occurs. Katherine Brush’s “The Birthday Party” is a short story about relationships, told from the perspective of a nearby observer. Brush uses the words and actions of the married couple to assert that a relationship based on selfishness is weak.
I walked in and my stomach made a flip-flop like riding “The Scream” at Six Flags. Everyone was staring at me! With their curios eyes and anxious to know who I was. I froze like ice and felt the heat rise through my face. My parents talked to my teacher, Ms.Piansky. Then my mom whispered “It’s ti...
High school graduation is a milestone in our lives where we are able to celebrate the end of a journey, our new found freedom, and our first step into the “real world”, also known as adulthood. It is a night full of reminiscing on the memories we made with the classmates who have been by our sides since kindergarten, the classmates that we may not ever see again. It is a night with mixed emotions, teary eyes, smiles of relief, laughter as we think back on all of the memories we shared, talk of the colleges and universities we will be attending, what we will be doing, and the unbelievable realization that we finally did it; we graduated. It is an accomplishment we should be proud of, a night we should look back on. High school graduation is
Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.
My high school graduation was one of the saddest moments of my life. Although I was excited about graduating, I did not know what I was going to do with the rest of my life. In Maya Angelou’s “Graduation,” Angelou was excited and proud of all that she had accomplished. In Flannery O’Connor’s “A Late Encounter With the Enemy,” Sally Poker Sash was proud that she was finally graduating and just wanted to show that off to all the “upstarts”. In the two readings the pupils are contrasting in a few different areas, and a couple of those areas are in pride and feelings that their families have being involved in the graduation.
Right now, a buzz is going through the hall in which all the seniors are waiting and they look like bees swarming in the hall. It’s becoming hot and we’re all getting impatient. Amber is more composed and enjoying the good times in the present. She is standing there happy but sad to be dispersing from the rest of her classmates. Ann, the smartest one is having a little fun but not really. Her feelings are that of a person who realizes she’s going to miss what she had, but wanting to get the ceremony over with because it’s taking too long. Standing in that room we are together and enjoying one last real time capturing a picture with each other. Amber’s mom is so proud of her daughter that she keeps talking and smiling and trying to part of every MOMent. Amber is thinking to herself that she wishes her mom weren’t there but she’s ‘happy inside because someone is cooing over’ her. As Ann is standing beside Amber she keeps getting these expressions that say, she likes being with her friends but, ‘what is taking so long? Can’t we get out of these dang robes, yet?’
Before you can have a party, you must go through a preparation process. This is where you plan the party. You try to figure out how to throw the party, by doing this you have to first come up with an idea, reason, or a theme. After this is complete, the decision making for the rest of the party will be easier.
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.
We were first lead into a room where we could eat breakfast and revise our arguments. All of the participants were given a fact sheet outlining the details of the case ahead of time. We each had to prepare an argument for our case that we would present in front of experienced lawyers. After eating breakfast, we were divided into groups, and after we all presented our statements, each group would have a winner to represent their own school. After giving our arguments, we went into the auditorium, where we had a quick raffle, as well as a talent show with representatives from each school. The representative from my school, JHS 194, was my former classmate, Dylan, who spoke and made jokes for the audience. Other participants danced, sung, and did gymnastics. The winner was chosen by the level of applause they got from the audience, so of course, the winner was a young girl whose family was in the audience. Afterwards, we were each given certificates of achievement, and the names of the winning schools were announced from each
