George Washington High School

Chesapeake, Virginia

Franklin was at his graduation ceremony at George Washington High. The ceremony was held in the auditorium, and all the graduates were on stage by the American flag, and the Virginia state flag. It was such a big moment for the Class of 2023.

The class president, Jasmine Morris, was announcing names of the graduates to get their diplomas. "Franklin Davis!"

Franklin got up, to the sound of his family cheering him on, as he shook the principal's hand, and flashed a bright smile, when his photo was taken, and was handed his diploma.

After the ceremony was over, everyone stepped out of the school, and was greeted by an angry looking sky. A storm was coming. A line of nasty thunderstorms were moving throughout the entire Hampton Roads area. A loud clap of thunder terrified the graduates, and it started pouring.

However, that didn't stop Franklin from celebrating at this Chinese all you can eat buffet in Norfolk. He got some egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and rice. Gentle Chinese music was playing, and it kept everyone relaxed during the nasty storm.

Franklin would be attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
