I love graduations (the parties, not the ceremonies). It's such a hopeful time in a young person's life. An achievement, a "taking-the-next-step", an end to a stage of life. Very cool.
I know! There are no public ceremonies around high school graduation here - in my home town what happens is that the leaving classes assemble (without an audience), there's a speech from the headmaster and then they all sing the graduation song together (like
, which is from my old high school where my niece will also graduate), and then each class runs out in the school yard in an unorganised manner, still singing, and are met by family and friends, and that's it. (Well, there's flowers and champagne and receptions and partying and so on, but that's it as far as the graduation "ceremony" goes. The song is it, really.)

I actually teared up watching that video...
Thanks for this!
