Prelude:
[Attention Seniors! This stuff concerns us all, so better read this one!]
We only have a month and a half time before we “end and start” another chapter of our lives. What I am talking about is our incoming commencement exercises…
Commencement… when you hear this word, what comes in your mind? Are you thinking about endings? “Last stuffs?” Closures? Or maybe, the word “omega” comes in your mind… but actually, you’re goofed… the word means the other way around…. Not because it’s a graduation ceremony (others think that graduation and commencement exercises are the same) it would then mean an end…. Commencement means “beginning” or tie in the Greek letter “alpha” to make it clearer.
“Ending and beginning.” This is how I relate commencement exercises and graduation to myself (but of course they literally mean those words).
Ending. This is the time when we will end our stay in the our second home but not permanently leaving it. This is also the moment when we will temporarily leave our worries behind… those projects… home works and other requirements. As we meet this pace in our high school life, we’ll come to harvest our sacrifices and efforts (that’s a thing to rejoice for, batchmates).
Graduation also means “beginning”. Because we will be leaving this second home which brought different experiences to us, we will soon be building up another bricks of experiences on the next level… we will soon enter the college life (which means, a “more serious” us).
This is what I think about graduation. It’s nearing so we need to cherish each moments we have with our friends, including those persons who once brought us down… we need to count everyone as part of our high school life… as part of our experiences.
