The first half of the year is starting to wrap up, and senioritis is starting to set in big time. Time will zip by and before you know it, you’ll be standing there under the blazing sun, family beaming proudly in the audience. The ceremony will conclude and with pure happiness, you’ll stand, wrapping your fingers around the fringy tassel, taking it over from one side of your cap to the other. You’ll stand up a little bit taller, joy rushing through you. Upon hearing those famous words, you’ll rip your cap of your head and throw it up in air with all the excitement in the world.
You are really about to do it: graduate and put that big check mark next that line that says “high school”. The day is coming up, and coming up soon.
All you and your parents can think about is the wave of emotions about to be coming up in less than half a year. The next few months will be hectic with new life milestones, maybe more than you could even imagine.
