I graduated last week. I'm a homeschooler (or, I guess I WAS a homeschooler), so the process was a bit different (just in that it wasn't a large ceremony with 400 other students; just me with a few family members and other friends), but it was still pretty cool. And of course I wore a cap and gown and such.

Now it's on to figuring out college courses and such. w00t! What fun!

Congrats on graduating! Any idea what you're doing from here?

Congrats everyone, I graduated from High School in '07. Another year and I will have graduated College! My advice...

About School

A good education doesn't necessarily cost an arm and a leg... you don't have to go to the premiere school to get what you need to know. Education is what you make it.

About Work

Find your passion and then find your work. Being in college, sometimes you have to sacrifice working some place you love just to pay the bills, that's fine. But once you have that degree, follow your dreams with it.

About Love

Find someone you enjoy life with and that loves you for you, including your faults.

About Getting Older

It has it's perks, but it has it's responsibilities too. It's an exciting new world after high school, go experience it! Just don't do drugs or become an alcoholic.

Congrats, JZ28! Did you decorate your hat?

I graduated a quite a few years ago, so it's hard to remember my own.

Well, just another six hours until i get up on stage. As some of you may or may not know i live in a Very small town. my grad class consists of thirty people. This allows it to be a little more personal. I haven't even taken my gown or hat out of the plastic yet. My plans after grad will be to take a year off school and work full time. i already have had a job for four years and may be taking on some of the managerial duties. after that i will be moving to Kamloops BC because thats my favorite city. (Vancouver is just too much city and LL has nothing.)

I escaped two weeks ago, 6th form is over. Though i have two tests on the 21 +29 of this month. After that im home free. We had a prom, but it was far too over priced, the ticket to get in was £50, it worked out at about £450 for the night out. So we went out an raided town and i turned £200 into alcohol. From what i remember it was a good night

Well, i have just (almost) completed the Canadian public education system.

All i have is a provincial exam worth 40 percent of my English grade. Yikes.

Lastly I have a banquet tonight with the rest of my class. afterwards most of us are going on a trip for the weekend. So far this week of partying and grading has been awesome.

I saw the best graduation card the other day. It went something like:

There's nothing like throwing a bunch of sharp, pointy hats into the air above your own head to celebrate just how smart you've become.

Congrats to all those high school graduates out there. I graduated in '98 and feel really old now

Kamloops is your favourite city? I guess it is quite a step up from Logan Lake, but still... it's hard to live in a city with a strong pulp mill smell. You should definitely move to Vancouver where there's more job opportunities. Sure it's more city, but that can be a good thing if you're young and single. Of course, if Asian girls are your thing, Vancouver is *the* place to be

Congrats, it's a good feeling to have graduated whatever level you're at. I like the sense of relief you feel, it's special.

In a couple of weeks I'll find out if I have passed my modules and if I graduate from University, hopefully with decent results as I worked bloody hard this year.
