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!
The finaly
