Graduation | Part 2 Getting My Diploma (Better Late Then Never)

Hi everyone! A little extra for all of you... It's a post that should have been posted a long time ago, but I kept putting it off resulting in uploading this 6 months late...... So here you go and I hope you enjoy this little peek in my life!!



On the 27th of June, from 7.30PM till 10PM, there were speeches being held, some tears shed and a lot of smiles.
I started the day getting ready to go to my grandma's birthday, she turned 83 on the same day. We stayed there for the rest of the morning, and after lunch me and my dad went to town to shop for gifts for my mentors.

When I got back home, I started getting ready for graduation! Shower, blow drying my hair, straightening it, etc...

After dinner I finished getting ready and we picked up my other grandma and drove to my (now old) school.

I had to sign my diploma with my mentor class. This was the moment were 'the most important part' was happening, because signing it means it's official!

We had to wait a few minutes until we got to stand in line and walked out in front of all the parents, teachers and others that were present. There were seats reserved for all the graduates, so we got to sit in the very front :)

Every teacher was given twenty minutes to speech about their class. I had so much fun listening to all the other teachers, who were all very nervous to stand there, but also very proud off their students.

My first mentor, sadly, wasn't there yesterday :( In the middle of the year, she wasn't allowed to teach anymore and we didn't know when she was going to be returning. She was also my teacher for two subjects I would have to make exams for.
So, my second mentor held a speech, and he did a very good job! He was really nervous because he had never held a speech before. I think he did an amazing job and, with the help of my first mentor, he made a great speech for every student!

All graduates didn't get their diploma's until the end, and we also got a yearbook (which turned out great if i may say so myself!) and flowers from school!

With some friends, we took pictures and spoke to some teachers for the very last time.
I had an amazing night, but I am also really happy that this chapter is done and I can start focusing on what's next. (Read A Gap Year here).

I am so sorry it took so long for me to post this, I hadn't gotten around to it after I made the text and have been waiting for the pictures for too long (This is my own fault as I have been putting it off for WAY too long!)

Also, I had hoped to be able to put up a lot more pictures... This was the only picture that we all looked 'normal' in (especially myself, as make crazy faces on others.....)
