Good afternoon.Now that graduation day is here.
Tell us about your experience graduating from school/
For me I did not graduate from high school.joined the Navy.
But I do have a GED.
How about showing us a photo of the day you graduate.
I love to see them and surely more here will do.
Have a good evening.

I did not graduate either so I have nothing to share. But I have not ever let that single piece of paper stop me from becoming something in life.

That was 52 years ago and the only thing I remember - my father was in the Army reserves and was away at summer camp and missed my graduation. I have my yearbook right next to my desk, I'm always looking up an old school friend.

I don't have any pictures of my graduation. I graduated on June 3, 1971 from a little high school in Wisconsin. I also graduated from college on May 17, 1996 with an Associate Degree in Architecture from a technical college here in Green Bay. I graduated from Navy Boot Camp on June 9, 1972. I do have a picture of that, but I would need to find it.

I went through summer school to get my last three credits, so I didn't get to go through a graduation. That was 40 years ago.
What did you do in the Navy? I always joke I had the hardest job in the Navy because I was a yeoman, so I had to babysit the officers.

@amadeo -- SK is almost as bad as YN...you had to babysit everybody as a supply clerk!
Salute, Sailor. Thank you for your service.

We don't graduate from school, maybe because exam results don't come out till the end of August so nobody knows how well or badly they've done till then! I did graduate from uni though. :)

I graduated in 1968. I have a photo but it's in Florida! I was in charge of the all night party for Seniors that night and we held it at the local bowling ally. My parents helped chaperone. It was so fun and a large group of my class attended. We partied all night in a fun and safe way.

@amadeo It was a lot of responsibility for me to plan and host the event for so many but we had such a wonderful time. It made graduation day really special.

Somewhere on a flash drive or something I have a picture of my senior pictures. But heaven only knows where that is.
I graduated from high school in January of 2008 ahead of the rest of my class with a 4.6 gpa.
I graduated university of tennessee in 2011 with a english and art associate degree

The funny thing is that graduation now begins from kindergarten and on up. It's hard to miss one these days. Our granddaughter told us that all she could remember was throwing her hat in the air.... I guess that was the fun part. lol

I don't have any with me, but the wind blew my cap off right after I got my diploma. I'm not wearing it in my photo.

I graduated in 2014 and the photo is of my boyfriend and I from there. I was ready to take that hot gap and gown off. It was hot and humid but I was glad when it was all over. My high school has always done our graduations on the football field (as long as the weather permitted) because we have a really nice big football field. We also normally have a lot of students graduating at once.The class of 2015 was the last ones to graduate on the field though because the new superintendent thought it was tacky and made us look ghetto but it was more like he didn't want students to have something that we enjoyed. Outside was prettier, enough space for everyone, you didn't have to pick who would get one of you 4 tickets, and it was a lot cooler than being squished into a gym or auditorium. He said it was unprofessional and that professional schools and colleges did it inside but my college has also done theirs outside (as long as weather permits because it loves to snow in the mountains in May) since the college has opened.
