Graduation itself was fairly uneventful. We got in, lined up alphabetically (I wasn't sure if I was supposed to go with the P's or the C's, lol) and ended up in neither spot.
My teacher called me to sit in the front row -- because I'm valedictorian.
As valedictorian, however, I was to make a speech. And I had no idea what to say.
Mom had told me that she missed out on salutatorian by a couple points, mostly because she really didn't take school as seriously as she could have, but my Uncle Bassy had been valedictorian. "He spent the majority of his speech cracking jokes," Mom recalled. "Do what feels right for you."
That's my baby sister, Sky. She wasn't too happy about being dragged away from her favorite TV program to attend my graduation but she was happy about getting dressed in her formal, lol.
We all waited to go inside (yes that's Sierra in the white, looking bored as usual, lol) because there was a traffic jam at the front door.
I have to admit, having the Crown Prince of Hidden Springs give you your diploma is pretty darn cool. My knees started shaking when he called my name and I had to accept my diploma from him. Gosh, he is so handsome in person. Much better looking than on the TV.
After the graduation, was that really Sierra playing with my dog? Really? Who is that girl and what has she done with my sister? Oh, btw, mom made her take the SUAT and she got a 1477 on it already, including a perfect score in phys ed. I fully expect her to beat my score when the time comes. She's that smart. And yet, she refuses to apply herself in school. Mom and dad have been thisclose to sending her to Fort Starch, but somehow she does better for a little while and doesn't go. I'm kind of thinking she does need something, though.
Speaking of Sierra, she stood at the door with mom as the moving van came to pick me up the next morning. I gave mom a huge hug and Sierra a hug as I carried my suitcase.
BTW I think Sierra's happy about getting my room to herself
Bye everyone, see you at SU!
Love, Sage
