Graduation Experience: My Senior Day In High School

Decent Essays
It was the day that every senior go through. This moment was unbelievable to me. I never pictured myself graduating high school. I though that high school was going to be forever, but that’s not the case. Everyone goes through it, but this was my moment.

I walk up that stage, grab my diploma and shake the principle’s hand and I was ready for the photo. I walk to the other side of the stage and stop to put my tassel from the left side to the right.
