22.Graduation

Towards the end of my senior year I became very anxious to walk across the stage. During the second to last week of school it really started to kick in that we would not be returning to Thomas the following year. During the last week of school there is a common tradition at Thomas where the seniors do a senior prank. On the night before the last day of school my friends and i decided we had to pull a prank. We put all the soccer nets that were around the building on soccer fields in the Parking lot so put could not enter the school. Along with this our class was planning a beach day on the last day of school. We hooked up a bunch of hoses and gathered different things that we could use for beach day. In the morning a group of about one hundred kids showed up on the field where beach day was taking place. After already talking with our principle, beach day was a go. We cooked hot dogs and hamburgers on a grill and brought a bunch of drinks. It was the perfect way to end our senior year. As graduation came around people began to feel sad about leaving Thomas where they had so many great memories. At my graduation, I remember the different emotions in the air. Some people were crying while others were laughing and having a good time. As everyone crossed the stage it really hit me, i was done at Webster Thomas High School. At the end of our ceremony, close friend of the entire class and also the president of the class gave a speech. In this speech they gave us a challenge. They said we would have to hold our arms in the air next to us for 3 minutes. As everyone was wondering what they were doing this for a song came on. Lean on me, at this point i could hear people start to cry. For me a was a great was to end my graduation ceremony.
