Graduation Day

Graduation flowers



Today the sun is shining more than the breeze can be cold. The end of winter also calls for the end of a school year. After three years of studying, prioritizing work over play, and having too much stress than a normal high school student should, these kids can (almost) put their feet up. Many of them already know if they are going to University and unfortuantely many of them will see this time wasted because they have not been accepted into their University. It's a terrible system, but I'm sure the focus for these students today is to enjoy their "last" day at school (they'll be back) and remember the fun times they did have here. There are a few students that I will miss, a few more than last year, which makes this graduation not the anthropological study that it was last year, but more of the purpose of seeing these young adults challenge a new world. The best part of today is... I get a bento!

My wonderful senior students. The only ones who sat down and talked to me almost everyday. The girl was my lunch buddy and the boy would talk to me after school about America's political situation and Obama. Told you this was a smart school.
