Photos 1999-2003 > Graduation 2000 | |||||
Before
any of us knew it, graduation was upon us. Until that day in
May, it had always seemed like one of those events that would
eventually happen ... but not so soon! The last few weeks of
school dwindled down, and everyone became preoccupied with sending out
invitations and anticipating the big day.
Then it came, inside the sweltering Tolsia High School gym.

A big part of the graduation experience is always Awards Day, a time for everyone to have their talents recognized. It was pretty formal, but a lot less nerve-wracking and cramped. I'd say that more than anything, it set the mood for the real deal the following evening. The majority of the pictures we took, however, weren't that exciting, so I scanned a few of the highlights! |

The night before graduation, we had an optional baccalaureate service (unfortunately, I forgot my camera for that). It touched everyone who attended so deeply that we all decided to get together at Amanda's for a party of sorts. We laughed, talked, and played cards long enough for everybody to get mad at me. :-) | |||||
There's not much I can
add to the general feeling of graduation. It was very, very hot in
the packed gym, and everyone's family was watching. We crossed
that stage one by one and came out as adults on the other side. It was
definitely one of those defining moments in my life.
(Did I mention that it was hot?)
