When I graduated high school

When I graduated high school, which was a life changing moment. What seemed like your whole life was over, was what was about to begin. All those things you had prepared for had come. It was now time to be an adult, think like and adult and act like an adult. I can still smell it now all the crowd surrounding you chanting your name as it was called. Going up to the front to receive your diploma. At the end you got to throw your hat up in to the air like you just don’t care. As of letting go of your childish ways. Afterward your friends and family come to congratulate you. That’s when the fun began, hanging out with friends. A domed building with bricks on its side. An older building but none the less inviting and big enough, for everyone not to be crammed. A building where futures were made and dreams were dashed to pieces. With orange seats in some places which I thought was odd. Seats all on the floor for the graduates to sit. This all being in Springfield, Missouri where it’s the show me state. So on that night, I gained my show me, my diploma. The people surrounding me were ones I knew, my family and friends were there. It was magnificent, the glare of the lights, the sound the crowd the throwing of the hats. It was a little hard to find parking, but I found some in time. The building was about to be replaced by a newer building as if it wasn’t good enough, but I thought it was. The building is where my sisters graduated as well. So, you can see why I say this building is memorable. Now it will be a place that I will never forget, so it will live on in my memory.
