School The Day Before Graduation example essay topic

Chapter 5 It is exactly one month until my eighth grade graduation, and at that point I thought eighth grade would never end! It soon became 2 weeks... 1 week... and before I knew only two days to go and I'm graduating from St. Matthew School. Two days before graduation my dad and I went to the Tuscola Outlet Mall and shopped for my graduation clothes. Since I procrastinated a lot before I finally decided it was time to buy some clothes, it was really hard to find admirable clothes that fit me!

So my dad and I both decided that we would try our luck over at Polo Ralph Lauren. Finally, we found some really nice clothes that fit me. I wore Khaki pants with a matching blue shirt. As we were walking out the door, I wondered if I would look good in a tie. My dad agreed that I would look good in a tie, so we drove back home, dropped off the clothes that I bought and went to another store that sells a whole bunch of ties. I found this awesome red and blue tie that looked really good with the blue shirt that I bought.

During school the day before graduation, I thought that school was very fun and zestful! In first half of school, all we did was return our books to the teacher and talked about what we were going to do over the summer. The second part of the day was even more fun because we just relaxed and did completely nothing! Once school ended some, a few my friends and I rode our bikes to Greg Broeren's house.

We just played catch and basketball. That night I couldn't sleep. I was so anxious. The next morning I woke up extremely early so that I could have enough time to get dressed with my new clothes. I didn't really eat that much breakfast, because the seventh graders were preparing us a graduation breakfast.

The food was sensational except for the green-watery scrambled eggs. The principal and the head priest both gave a speech on how much the school was going to miss us. (Yeah Right!) As soon as everyone finished their breakfast, we all walked to the gym for the graduation ceremony. I received two certificates, but that's alright! After the ceremony, we had to sing a song in front of the whole school. Me?

I didn't sing. I thought the song was alright, but what made it worse was that we had to sing it with piano as the background music! As soon as the school day ended, I got my report card and busted out of school. I went home and went back to sleep, picture taking was next this afternoon. The graduation mass was at 7: 00, and would last for about a hour and a half. At the mass I received my diploma.

The diploma was very enchanting! It was in between this book type bind, and the outside of the cover was this very soft leather. Everyone in my class was able to graduate. (which was a good thing) We all formed a semi circle in the front of the church to give our moms a rose for giving us life. The mass ended around 8: 30, and all the graduates were invited to a party.

The party started right after the mass and lasted until about 11: 00 p.m. It was mainly a dance party, but we were able to play some games. I especially liked the food bar. my good friend Nolan and I were just siting down at a table just talking to each other. We got done with our conversation with five minutes left in the party. The party I thought was wonderful!

Now that I had graduated from 8th grade, I can't wait until high school. I am going to miss some of my friends that are going to Central High School but most of my good peers are going to Centennial High School.
