As the suns rays shine through the football field where the ceremony of my graduation took place. Someone above must have known it was my graduation day and blessed me with a beautiful day. I was so excited that the night before the graduation I could not sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night, thinking about the graduation. I waited this moment for four long years in high school. Graduation is one of the memorable days of my life. On my graduation, I was filled with butterfly in my stomach. I was like an ant in the crowd waiting to be crushed. The place filled with students and staffs and conversation was excitedly exchange from one friend to another. I wondered around the place looking for my friends who are already laughing excitedly with each other. After searching through the crowd of people, I finally found them. I sneaked on them and suddenly without warning I tapped on one of my friends shoulder and yelled out ?HEY.? He jumped as if the earthquake has occurred. He turned around and said, ?You scare the hell out of me, man.? We were all laughing and the conversation began once more. ?So what do we do afterward I said. We started to discuss whether we went out to eat later or we go our separate way. My friends Cong asked me, ?what do you think? Where should we go after I turned to my female friend named Phuong and asked, ?Do you have any plan after this? If not, we should go out and celebrate, what do you think She answered me with no words but a shake of a head, and then she nodded for the two questions I asked. ?Then its settle, we will go out and celebrate later.? I yelled ?YEAH.? Suddenly, everyone started to run toward the field like lab mice ran back to its cage. We were like an army of bees brushed out of our hive with the common goal: going the football field where the ceremony started. We then raced to the field where everyone was and went to our seats that already arranged to us. As we sat there with the smell of green grass, and the fresh air under the blue sky, the faculty started to make their speeches and quietly we sat there. Listened to the wise words of the people who already been through life and now they shared their experiences with us. We sat there, gave them undivided attention and those magical words come in one ear and out the other. We did not care much of what they wanted to say, all we care about is celebrating afterward. We were too excited to listen even though those magical words may come handy one day. After long hours of speeches, the ceremony began. As the faculty started to call students? names and hand out the diploma, family and friends started to yell out something that alienated to me. Nevertheless, those screaming made the ceremony more exciting than ever. After many names being called, finally I heard my name. I stood up and started to walk toward the stadium where the diploma gave out. Butterfly started to fill my stomach, and as I walked toward the stadium, the chair caught my leg and I almost fell. I pulled myself together after my mind was shattered like a piece of class broken into millions of pieces. Little embarrassed, my face turned pale and everyone was giggling and whispering with one another. The short distance from the place, where I sat to the stadium seems like million miles away after the incident. I finally made it. One of the faculties hand me the diploma and said to me ?Congratulations, you made it.? as I walked toward and pulled my hand out to accept the reward for the four years of school. The sound of the clapping hands sound like firecrackers on the Chinese New Year. That moment will never leave me, it?s tattooed in my head and it will stay there for as long as I live. After the last person got the diploma, the principle yelled out ?CONGRATULATIONS, class of 1998? he
