Graduation

And so the day finally comes.To them,it is the day they prove themselves to mankind. Some are stressed while others are depressed. They are anxious, they are hopeful. Illusions fade for the real world will elude them no more. Assurance is no longer needed, enthusiasm reigns supreme. They are out to elicit respect from the world. It's not something we can fully understand for it's a once in a lifetime chance. We think we do but we don't for their dreams are still fresh. It's because they want success, because they need love, because they hope to live. And so they walk on stage, grab their paper,smile for the cameras, cry their tears, smile their smiles, and say their good-byes. Their path now set after 18 years, they set down the road called life.
