Justine's Graduation

So, Graduating in the Woodlands has been quite an event,

or should I say 'lots' of events!

When I graduated in France, 

the extent of my celebrating my years of high school,

 was going to the school after we took our finals and looking on a list posted on the school doors.

I jumped up and down when I saw my name!!! 

Oh, and my diploma was mailed to me.

That was over 20 years ago, not sure if it's still the same now?

It was quite a different story of what happens in America!

If I remember correctly, there was:

* A Senior Picnic by the Woodland's lake

* A Senior Prom Dance at the Marriott

* A Graduation ceremony at The Pavilion

(where every 900+students walks one by one and gets congratulated)

* An all night (11pm till 5am) Lock down 

where the Seniors played games, 

had all you what food, won prises, won money! 

Justine came home with having won $138, she had so much fun!

Basically, they really celebrate, have fun and get recognized.

I'm not sure what I think? 

Was my graduation in France too little? 

I think maybe yes...

Is graduation in America too much?

I think maybe a little...

(oh, and it's all planned for over 900 students, by lots of volunteers, 

and donations in moula, time and stuff)

I do have to mention I very much dislike the school color! 

A very ugly unattractive green!

The pics are really bad, we were sitting quite far!
