Wide smiles. Eyes sparkling. Heart leaping for countless joy. These are just but few of the sweet taste of a sweaty endeavor of learning which eventually culminates in a celebration called graduation. Graduation is undoubtedly a story of yours, a story of mine, a story of everyone.

Graduation is the beginning. It is the commencement of more challenging adventures that lies ahead as one goes through for higher learning or for job opportunities. It is the start of a more mature role leaving elementary immaturities. It signifies the beginning of making a name for yourself and weaving and directing your own story.

Graduation is the climax. Indeed, it is the peak of one’s life as it symbolizes achievement. It is an emblem of overcoming barriers as it passes every difficulty contained in schooling in search for deeper truths and more concrete information and knowledge. It gains the highest point of interest as it expose a graduate and its parent into a great reward of receiving diploma as a result of unparalleled efforts.

Graduation is the ending. It is the culmination of bitter-sweet experiences with friends, haters, admirers and mentors within the portals of the school. It is the time to thank thy mentors, parents and circle of friends who have come to inspire you all throughout. It is when every laughter and tear you made becomes a living memory.


Graduation, just like in a story, can be considered as the beginning, the climax or the ending. It is a memorable event which is liked, tagged and shared to everyone.
