Your whole life you are told to look forward to graduation, 12 years spent waiting for that moment where they call your name, you walk across the stage, shake some random teacher's hand and then heave a sigh of relief, "I'm Free". You're told that you'll feel accomplishment, pride, joy but now all I feel is, "Finally, now I can worry about what comes next".
It seems to me the last 12 years have just been an intermission between childhood and real life. All in all a big waste of time.
As I walk across the stage on my last day as a high school senior I'll smile like expected, focus on not falling in my heels, and be thinking about the next step in my life and how best to tackle this next obstacle...the one that decides my future, the one that really matters.
