Graduation.. It's all about '08

I had graduated not even a month yet and it still feels sureal. I can recall waking up that day and realizing I am graduating today. It was a thrill. I was excited and looking forward to walking across that stage.
Everything was amazing when the ceremony started. My family and friends were there cheering my on. It was great to have them be there for a big event in my life. As it was getting closer for me to walk up the stage and have my name called I was growing more and more anxious for that one moment that I had thought about for as long as I can remember.
As I was approaching the stage my heart began pounding. My nerves started kicking in. Now since my last name starts with a T of course I was towards the back but I didn't mind for the simple fact that I was able to still enjoy the moment of walking across the stage and move onto getting ready to toss my cap.
When I heard my name called all my friends in my graduating class and my family all went crazy yelling and screaming. I almost started crying to know that this was my walk into adulthood.

As unbelieveable as that day was it is something that I will of course cherish for the rest of my life. I have been told numerous times that gradauting from high school is not the same as college. There really was like no other.
Fortunately, I didn't cry after my graduation. I thought I was but I didn't. It was a great ceremony all around. I can't really complain. Congratulations to the class of 2008!!!!
