Last night was the most emotional night ever!!!!

Graduation was beautiful and it was the most memorable night too. I was both happy and sad because I didn't really want to leave but I do. Well because I had many good friends there especially those that are in the Rebus Academy and I love them all! First all the student including me had to wait for about maybe 2 hours on each side depending on where your counselor is located. I just talked to a few people and hugging them and just spending with them before the big night. When it was time to go to the stadium which was scary because there were a lot and I mean a lot of people. When we were moving my friend, Naser, was suddenly hugged by a random lady and my friend was confused and scared because he said that her face touched his face and it was oily. Her kept on complaining, which made it a funny way of course, that he might break out and my other Eric made fun of him that he might be getting some disease. I don't know it was pretty funny to me. By the time we got the little gate I had to walk to the seat that we were assigned to. Maybe an hour or so we listen to the principle, two student speakers, and the football coach. It was really long and I was about to fall asleep because I just want to get this over with, meaning the name calling. When it was about time to name call the students, I was soooo nervous and shaking and my heart was beating fast. I hate going to the stadium in front of the entire people. I don't know I'm weird. By the time our seat was about to leave I was shaking. Once I got up there my counselor called my name and I think I heard some Rebus people shouting and it was a great feeling. I took two pictures and went back to my seat and was happy. After that we sang the Alma Mater. Then, it ws time to leave and I was really crying until I saw my friend Destiny crying and it made me wanted to cry so I did. It was funny because before the big night, I told myself that I wasn't going to cry at all I mean that's kind of lame. I know mean of me but then I understand how they feel. So I managed to hug most of the people and I even hugged Andrea my other friend and she was crying like crazy and we both cried so hard I can hear her sobbing behind. After all that hugging and saying goodbye to my dear friends, my family and I went out to IHOP for dinner and it was delicious. When we went home I saw a balloon saying "Congatulations" and a yellow flower and I knew it was from my cousin Nancy which she couldn't make it because of work. I thanked for giving me these gifts! We also took pictures just to remember that I graduated from my school.

I just wish I can go back in time after the name calling of course and jst straight to singing Alma Mater. I miss all my friends and I love them all!

I hope to some at college and some other places in the future!

I also miss the school and of course my teachers from Rebus Sophomore to Senior Year!

I am a graduate from Redlands High School and proud of it
