My Graduation Day
My graduation day was one of the most remarkable events in my life history. It was one of the most remarkable and interesting events. It did not occur to me that one day I would make it to college but here I was on this great day of my life. I did not have the slightest idea that I would make it to this day but most importantly I thank God for having brought me this far. On several occasions, I almost gave up on college education partly. This was because of my family’s financial challenges and the peer issues that I encountered during my college life. However, with the help and support of my loving and caring family and my college mates that i met in campus, life in college became bearable and alas! We finished the college life in style.
The day started on a jovial mood, and everyone in my family looked forward to the graduation ceremony which was to be held in the institution’s graduation square. I was particularly excited because having looked back at my origin, and my experience during my college period, I was glad that I was done with college affairs. I had something to show for it. I had earlier sent some invitation messages through my mobile phone to invite my neighbours to witness and share this remarkable day in my life.
I made my parents proud, and they made every effort to see that my graduation day was a success. My college mates were all present and full of zeal to witness the greatest triumph. We sat close to each other at the graduation square and and laughed about the times we went through during the four year stay at the campus. At one time, we joked about how one of the lecturers used to make us hate lectures since he was boring. Like one day, he had to chase a group of students who were making fun of him through mimicking his voice while he was in class teaching a lesson about how to overcome boredom at the work place. This was some how ironical because we had earlier nicknamed him king of boredom.
Then came the long awaited vice chancellor’s speech. It was a long speech that centred mostly on the importance of a good education. It was a speech that was meant to encourage the graduates as they prepared to encounter with the real world. At this point, I felt that Iwas lucky to have attained a college education and for the first time I appreciated the effort that my family had put to ensure that I get a good education.
Names were then called out according to the various faculties, and we were awarded the degree certificates. It was not that we were being given million dollars, but the fact that we were awarded the college degrees felt good from within. One of the lecturers applauded me for my hard work in my coursework. He commended me for a good job and extensive research that I did on the topic that I was assigned. He told me that I would be a beneficiary of a scholarship for a masters degree that he had initially encouraged me to apply. The course work gave me the credit desired to pursue a masters degree of my choice. This was like a dream come true for me and to be honest enough I have never thought of continuing with my education upto this level. It was an amazing feeling.
After the official graduation ceremony, we had a photo shoot where photos of my family were taken. We also had photos taken for the college mates only. We then proceeded for a party that was held in the school premises. We talked about what we would like to do with the rest of our lives and with the power to read that was officiated on that day. It was an awesome event that was filled with an aura of joy, and I have to admit that the college did make a turning point in my life.
