The next morning was of my official and final year of high school that I was about to begin. While I was getting ready to leave my parents were both off that day, and they wanted to drive me to school. As we were driving through our neighborhood; looking outside of the car window. I saw kids waiting for the bus but just like I did each semester it was different kids each time. The thought ran in my head of not having to wait for someone to pick and drop me off was no longer going to be my routine after this year.

Going to school the next day my mom came with me because she wanted to talk to my principal and ask him why my counselor told me what she did. Instead of encouraging me to fix the issue she just gave up on me. While my mom and me were in my principal office she told him what my counselor told me and wanted to see if I could have another counselor. The expression on the principal face looked as if he was upset and frustrated with what my mom told him. Letting my mom know that he usually doesn’t change rules for students but given the circumstance he would make an exception due to what Mrs. King told me. Having a new counselor name Mrs. Garner she met with me first thing after the meeting with my mom and the principal. Having my mom and me in her office she had given me advise on what I needed to do.

After leaving the house for the ceremony my parent wanted me to know how proud they were of me and knew I could do it. Getting dropped to meet my other classmates to get ready for graduate my parents began crying as they drove off.

As the music turned on my classmate and me began to walk into arena and I could see my parents and the rest of my family waving to me and yelling my name. Finding my sit; the ceremony began as the announcer started calling the students names before me. I patiently waited to be called on, and then my name was called April Dominguez. Walking to the stage I could hear and see my parents yelling with excitement. Trying to get through the row and pass the student in front of me. I could see my previous counselor Mrs. King at the end of my row. Having to walk pass her I had theses emotions running through me, as I got closer to her I could see her looking me. When I finally was in front of her she pulled her hand out to shake mines. As I reached out to shake her hand back I told her “I guess you won’t be seeing me next year.” Seeing the reaction on her face was priceless, the
