The month of March is not an ordinary month for the graduates. They have been biding their graduation so badly. And now it’s finally here. Student life is over for those who don’t aim to pursue another course or let’s say a post-graduate education. For those who are still enrolling this June, a more complex student life ahead entails their readiness and much preparation. In general, this is a 360 degrees turnaround of the graduates. This is an end point of a certain chapter of their lives but a beginning of the next.
Since graduation is an achievement, the graduates tend to celebrate their gratitude and joy with their friends and families. Their parents have that glint of pride in their eyes and a sigh of fulfillment. For the parents, educational degree is one of the precious legacies they can leave to their children…………a primary weapon in life’s big battlefield.
Aside from the graduation mass and ceremony, graduation night and graduation blow-outs, there are still many other graduation scenarios that seemingly pull me into the depth of this very special event. The responses of my friends who are among the 2009 graduates when asked about their graduation comprise the graduation season highlights. Here are some of those amusing, funny and moving graduation statements from them :
· Well, I have done my all in this course. Thank you God! I made it! I am now the valedictorian in the college. I got 1.2 GPA and I’m a magna cum laude. My parents are very proud of me. I’m proud to say that I deserve this honor.
· All of us in our “barkada” are Cum laude. Isn’t it great?
· Thank you God for I have parents like them. Now, I can surely make them proud of me.
· Finally, I’m outa here!
· Goodbye terrors! Grrrrrrr…..
· After 8 years in college, at last now I earn a degree already. Sorry Ma and Pa for the inconvenience. LOL!
· I don’t care if I have lots of 3.0 on my TOR. What’s important is I’m one of the 2009 graduates……..
· Now, I’m half happy, half tensed. Happy because of this achievement. Tensed because I happen to graduate in the midst of economic downturn. Good luck to my job hunting.
· After this, I’m gonna be missing my monthly allowance. Farewell corruption! No more overpricing strategies like : “Ma send me 5000 for the project” when it’s only 1,000. LOL!
· I’m sad. I’m gonna miss my classmates.
· Oh, I’ll never see my crush anymore.
· I’ll miss my favorite professors.
· I can get over those sleepless nights and tedious projects and thesis. I can now get rid of the big, dark rings under my eyes.
· Finally, I can now keep the faces of those damn school security guards out of my sight!
· Common, be there in my grad blow-out!
· Yes! Now that I’ve graduated Papa will finally allow me to have a boyfriend! Exciting!
· Oh no! it’s not over yet I still have to take review classes for the board exam.
· Hahahahahah!yes I graduate but I wonder if I learned something? Hmmmmm……I doubt it!
· I bribed some professors………otherwise I would have failed and needed many more years to finish this course.
· No more cutting classes! Hahahaha!
· I have just graduated………so……..I think I can now marry her.
· I’m going back home with my long-dreamed diploma.
· I’ve been a self-supporting student all my life in high school and college……….I’m glad I’ve reached this far. This is truly unexpected!
· Let me congratulate myself for a job well done!
· If only Papa is here I’m sure he’ll be proud of me………..Pa wherever you are now this is for you………………..I love you Pa and I miss you so much!
· I hope I can land a good job after this so I can send my siblings to college.
· I won’t get married until I’ll get a stable job.
· I’ll buy and read career planning and development books tomorrow.
· Thank you everyone for your prayers.
Too many different responses I’ve heard from the graduates …………… too many different academic experiences they’ve shared ……………….too many different plans after their graduation ………….....but, one thing they share in common is……………………they are all happy and grateful for having received their diploma because not all young people have received it.
CONGRATULATIONS 2009 GRADUATES!
