When I graduated from high school we had our ceremony at Ford Auditorium. My best friend and I cried our eyes out through the entire ceremony because we had both worked so hard and overcome many obstacles to reach that point in our lives. When I think about all of the high school seniors who are missing out on these important celebrations it just breaks my heart. Those last weeks of school when you just can't wait to be done but don't really want to leave, prom, grad parties, all of it stays with you for your whole life. These kids have had to finish out the year under incredible stress, working online to complete their credit requirements. Parents look forward for years to the day that they can watch their child walk across the stage, take their diploma, and flip the tassel on their mortarboard from one side to the other. A virtual ceremony cannot even hope to compare to the real thing.
The businesses in our town have posted pictures of grads in their windows. It's nice to walk around town and see this attempt in our community to make the best of a truly horrible situation.
