Campus Life

Graduation

"Whooo"all my peers yelled as they threw their caps into the air. When we picked back up our hats my best friend Dlyan Maxwell told me "I can't believe we graduated, seems like just yesterday I walked into the First Grade classroom and we became best friends instantly". I replied with a" I know I can't believe this is the end, but we still have the rest of summer left". What she told next was to heartbreaking to describe " Actually, No my parents are going to do research in Africa for the next two months and they told me I have to with them. We are leaving this weekend". I screamed so loud that the earth shook. I then started running my mouth like I was stupid or something. "Do you have to go can't you just stay with me and my parents". "She told me" I tried to talk my parents out of it but they wouldn't listen to a word I said they said that it was final and that it would be a great way to bond before I leave besides you still have Ryan and Michael to hang out with". "That reminds me where are Ryan and Michael. Thats when we heard the screech of the speakers and everyone covered their ears. Ryan and Michael were up on the stage and started screaming their hearts out to "Hotline Bling".When they came down we all went to go have pizza at our favorite old hometown parlor. We all sat down, looked through pictures, and talk about old memories. I was seriously going to miss them. When I took my keys and opened the door my family (including my aunts, cousins and what not ) jumped out and yelled suprise. And we all had cake and yada, yada, yada. After everyone left and I was getting ready to go to bed my mom came upstairs to my room and had a photo album tucked under her arm. We started looking through old photos when she looked at me, started crying, and said "I remember when you were so little and look at you now, time goes by so fast". That's when she gave me a giant hug. I huged her back and felt like I never wanted to let go
