Graduation



Samikshya Thapalia

DOB: June, 1997 


You walk down the aisle and sit in your seat. Your eyes filled with tears of happiness and sadness. Your years of hard work comes down to this. Your gradation, where your parents smile and wave……take pictures and cry.

 6th grade, a grade full of emotions and hard work. You work hard for grades and a good future. You laugh and cry remembering all your little moments throughout the year. You are all happy and you work hard for your future.

You remember all your years of hard work the day they say your name and you walk up to accept your diploma. That’s when you turn around and see your loved ones cheering and clapping for you. That’s when you feel tears down your face and every single emotion come out of you for the very first time…..

You want to forget all your memories but they just hunt you and bring more tears. You want to go through 6th grade all over again, but what can you do you have to choice, so just be happy. You know you will never forget that day, the day of your graduation, the day that will prepare you for high school and even collage.

This year I might cry, but I will be proud of myself and that diploma in my hand. Graduation is right around the corner and I’m ready. I will be strong and feel pride inside.  I will know I have worked hard enough to make it, and I will make everyone proud.
