"A triumphant march"


Failure will not halt, triumph will aid, glory is there and love is forever. These worthy things help us to struggle towards success and to know our failures, weaknesses and disadvantages in life so that we can elaborate them into a better one.

Succeeding in small things is just a step towards a broad future. But when we talk about “success in one's education”, it's another matter. When a student passed through the hard years in school eventually he or she will have the honor to graduate or in short to commit one's graduation. For me, the graduation march is very important for a student because it shows only that he or she bring it to the best and their sacrifices, hardworks and understanding were worth it.

In life, what I dreamed is to have a better way of living and to finish my studies. Because I dreamed and believed, I successfully graduated in my elementary years in school.the graduation which I crave most has come. It was a hot day because summer had just started, when I woke up from bed and then prepared for our graduation. I told my grandmother to hurry up because any moment from now the graduation will start. I went outside to look for a ride and afterwards we arrived to our destination, where our graduation will be held.

At first, when we entered in the campus, where the ceremony was held, we were in trouble in looking for the venue because of panicked and eventually I forgot the place. Afterwards I found the place and I immediately went upstairs and there I saw a big crowd. The crowd was full of visitors, friends, guardians, parents, city officials, VIP's, teachers and of course the most important ingredient for the day, the graduating stuadents from different schools around the city.

After I arrived at the spot, I looked for my co-graduates. My teacher put this beatiful garlands to my neck and at the same time congratulates me for doing the part of being a student during our elementary years. The ceremony started and while marching towards our seats, somebody took a shot for me and eventually I smiled to the photographer. While on the seat, I felt happy, excited, tense, sad and more mixed expressions in that scenario.

The flow of the ceremony continued. After the city officials had given their messages to everyone, each teacher from certain school one by one called their graduating students and of course one of those was me. After we were called to get our diplomas, the next part of the ceremony was the awarding of the honor students in all the schools around the city. While the awarding was going on, I was looking for my grandmother because before I went up to the building, when I looked back she was gone from my sight so it was natural for me to looked for her especially it was my graduation and also she should be the one who will witness my success on stage.

One's graduation only shows that he or she successfully made it to the top. Graduation is the best part of a student's life in school and what makes it best is through good education. If only we will struggle towards success or strive harder, we could have the best graduation ever.
