Graduation is definitely a bitter sweet time (original topic, i know!). But really, it gets me thinking about just how much change is present in our every day lives. Maybe someone dies, loses a job, gets injured, has to move far away, etc etc. These are all things that can drastically alter a life, and they all can happen so fast. The same is true with graduation. After the seniors graduate, their lives will never be the same. There will be people they have went to school with for the past 12 years that they will never see again. They may never even return to Aurora! Some are joining the military, some are going off to college, and some are taking a year off to travel or just save up money in order to afford college. Regardless of what they are doing afterwards, nothing in their lives will ever be the same as what it was when they were in high school. It's not only their lives that are affected, it's the same for the underclassmen. I wont be able to discuss IB stuff with the senior class anymore. Some of the seniors that starred in the last couple of shows may never grace a stage with their presence ever again. And well, that's all the bitter stuff. The sweet part? Grad parties.
