Well, this is it, the day all of us have been waiting for has finally arrived. It seems like only yesterday we were picking our noses and flicking them at innocent bystanders or yelling childish phrases like, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" or, wait, that was yesterday. Never mind. Anyways. .
What I'm trying to say is the years, have flown by and it's not going to be long before we're in the stands watching our kids graduate. .
You know, there is a lot more to graduating than leaving McBain and getting a diploma. It's more than that. I mean, why do you think we get to wear these cool robes? .
Our infantile days of wandering into first period half asleep and living off the school's Gordon's food lunches are over, it's time now for us to grow up and head into the real world. .
Reality has caught up with us and we are beginning to figure out we really don't know everything. We are no longer innocent kids but the up and coming future of the greatest nation on Earth. We are knocking on the door of total independence, something we have never fully understood. We have just barely begun the trip on the roller coaster of life and already it seems like we've had quite a ride. Some of us will go on to college, some will enter into the work force, and most of us are still undecided. But whichever path we take, it won't be easy and believe me, a year or two from now you're gonna wish you were back at good old MHS because the term "9 to 5" is going to take on a whole new meaning, and I'll tell you right now it ain't gonna be pretty folks. .
Our graduation is our coming of age, our right of passage. As we walk across this stage we are writing the closing pages to our Chapter I and heading into the great unknown. It's kinda scary -- but hey, don't you cry, even though high school is over, the times we've shared and the friends we've made will never be lost. The clock is ticking, time is fleeting and nobody lives forever.
