[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to a huge public high school. Almost no memory of the graduation ceremony. Kept the relationships that mattered and left the rest behind for bigger things. I think a lot of of the angst over graduation may be because of the parents’ disappointment at not getting to celebrate what they perceive as a defining milestone in the life of their child, who they raised from infancy and were there for every step of the way, and who now is entering a more independent stage in life.

Your recollections all these years later does not mean you were not excited about it at the time.  My senior said she would love it if they could go back just for the last week.  Will she care about that when she is 40 or 50 probably not, but right now she does.  She does not remember going to Disney at 5 but that does not mean we should not have gone.[/quote]

I was glad to be done. I promise I had no interest in riding an unfair conditioned bus, waiting outside in the heat, and sitting in a hard metal chair for a lengthy and boring ceremony. The most exciting thing that happened that day was when one of the guys in the class wrecked his very cool, very fast car just outside the school on the way to the graduation ceremony. [/quote]

When my kid graduated last year, we drove as a family in a comfy cool car, enjoyed picture taking before going in, listened to a boring invited speaker and then a WONDERFUL student speaker.  The best part was milling around afterwards seeing friends and kids we had not seen in many years.  My son had all 4 grandparents together for the day which in itself in an occasion.[/quote]
