Bittersweet time for students
Print Edition
GRADUATION is a bittersweet time for us, as we say goodbye to high school and to the friends and teachers we’ve made over the past few years.
It’s nerve-wracking to think that in just a few months, we’ll all be in completely different continents, having to face the real world alone, without the comfort of the presence of old friends and teachers. I don’t think I could have made it this far without their continual support and guidance. The realization that you’re now an adult, with your own responsibilities and burdens, is a scary truth. Having to face college and a completely new reality soon is exciting for sure, but if you asked me, I’d probably want to stay at school for a little while more, enjoying the familiarity and safety that high school entails.
There’ve been plenty of good, and also some bad memories, but all of them were what made the experience of high school so unique and fulfilling. It’s going to be hard to leave all that behind, and I don’t doubt that graduation day will probably be one of the most heart-wrenching day of all of high school for most of us. The thought of walking down that aisle and receiving my diploma actually scares me more than taking my final exams did.
Graduation’s definitely about partying as well, as the students get to celebrate their achievements and finally being done with two stressful years of IB.
