Graduation Day

You all are probably wondering when I was going to write about graduation like I said I would. I mean, it has been a few weeks.

Graduation day was just over a month ago, which I cannot believe. What an amazing and exciting day it was. I had nine other teens graduating by my side, who I consider friends without a doubt, even though I only met the majority of them two months prior.

That's right. Out of the nine that I graduated with, I was only aquainted with four originally. The first planning meeting was in March, and that's when I met the rest. By our second planning meeting a month later, we were pretty much all friends. No more awkwardness, no more "lulls" in conversations. We all got along really well and I knew I had made some great friendships.

                                           May I just say how much I love this group?

          The ceremony was filled with laughter, tears, a fun slideshow and
some speacial music from the graduates.  My friend Tiffany and I sang, I presented a speech, and then Kerry (second from right) Rachel (second from left), and Ben (1st from right) presented piano solos. Let me tell you, all are wonderful pianists! Rachel and Maria (2nd from left) played "Be Thou My Vision" on the guitar and flute and Tiffany sang with her older sister.  Our speaker was also fantastic.

                                                       

 

 

 

 

 

                                                   
  

You might have already seen this one. Oh well, I felt like posting it again.

 

 

What a blessed day it was! I am so thankful to God for this oppurtunity and for giving me strength to get through the past 12 years of school, and the past few years of highschool. What an awesome God He is!
