Do you still remember how you feel during your elementary, high school and college graduation? Which do you consider more meaningful and memorable? Which of them where you have miss so much friends and teachers? Was it true to yourself that though you are happy because you are graduating, on the other side of yourself, you felt so lonely because you will be leaving the place you have been you used to. Moreover, you will be parting ways of your classmates and best friends. Graduation is really a happy and sad moment for me.

I have to say I miss my elementary graduation the most. My elementary graduation was the saddest one to. I was the only one going to a different high-school than all the rest of my friends who were all going to the same school. But, that didn't really matter, because I still stay in touch with them. I'd probably say if I could go back in time, I'd love to come back to this very night. Graduation is one of the most memorable things in my life.

Yeah, we are the same. My elementary graduation was the saddest because I was not able to attend it. A few days before graduation, I fell from a tree and had fractured my left arm. So I stayed at home till the opening of school. It was really painful.

I still remember in my High School days it was all funny and memorable for me to recall and still I have my contacts with them as well as my teachers(not all teachers) and that time I am very happy because at last I going to be graduated and all my hard works have been done and also I feel sad because we are going to separate because each of us has a different path to choose and different universities and colleges to choose to continue our studies and it was sad also to say that I am going to leave this place because I have lots of memories in hear that will still remain.... For me Graduation Day is the happy and sad day that has been in my life...

I was so excited with my high school graduation, yet full of anxieties and confusion. It was because, I was not sure if I could continue to college. I really wanted to go on studying and have a career but due to financial difficulties, I was so worried I could not continue to college. God was really good, He will really give your heart's desire. My friend had invited to a school, where we could be work scholars. Through it I was able to finish college.

Yes, I do remember. Perhaps for most, graduation day is an unalloyed happiness, good feelings all around. The thousands of applauses from the students rocked the hall when the guest of honour entered. Everyone was so excited about who the guest was. When he had reached his seat, we rose and sang the song. After that, the host invited the principal to give the graduating pupils her speech and the guest after her. Although the first speech was quite dry, the second was pretty interesting. He talked about the teachings and it made a lot of sense. The feeling was so special that no words could describe it. It felt as if it was infused with many other kinds of feelings. The feeling was stronger when I had reached home. I knew I am lying to myself if I told myself I did not miss the school and my friends. Today’s event left me feeling poignant. For me too, Graduation is really a happy and sad moment for me.

yes I still do remember it. Oh! especially my high school graduation, my brother was so funny because he stumbled in taking pictures when I'm about to reach my diploma on stage. It's sad to think that my high school years are over same with my college graduation. The friendship and bonding that we have made throughout the years are the things that I missed the most.

I have very nice memories of my elementary and high school graduation. At my elementary school graduation I was excited because I was going to high school with most of my friends and I would finally get to study something I was really interested in. I was also one of the best students at the time and the ceremony was really special for me. The high school graduation was a little more bitter because we all knew that we weren't going to see each other again for a long time. It was a good moment though because the years of high school were good but university life was going to be so much better and we were all excited because of it.

I miss my high school friends, My classmate in fourth year high school are my closest friend, All of the member of our section have the same attitude and it is very easy for us to understand each other, Even now that one month to go and i will finish schooling i still have contact to them and i am still much closer to them than my college friend. I am also close to my college friend but not so close because some of my college classmate have different attitudes and sometimes i can't understand them.

I didnt like all the my graduation days. When I graduated from elementary I knew its not the end of my studies yet since there's still going to be high school. When I graduated from high school I also felt the same way. When I was in college I was expecting my feelings to change after all but it didnt because I knew I have to go to medical school after I graduate. I never considered my graduation day as a special day. Sad to say I have to have it like that when all of the others are happy about it.

For me, what I will miss the most is my High School life. My high school life is so colorful. Love, Friendship, Problems, name it all! I have all of them in my high school life. I will miss my classmates, my 10 long years classmates. They were my classmates since my elementary life. I will miss them. I spent half of my life with them. I will never forget the day that our adviser got angry to us and we just all laugh.
