Congratulation Class of 08

Yesterday,


I went to my high school graduation to the fellow seniors. The ceremony was held at the Masonic Center.

Going there was all as i thought it was going to be. People told me that driving there was not such a great idea because there would be no parking at all and they were right. Once i got there, OMG, there was no parking at all. Since the Masonic Center was on top of a hill, there was not even a single sidewalk parking. Therefore, i took the bus at 7:45 to make it to the graduation ceremony.

So, why did i go to my high school graduation? Knowing that i just graduated last year, there is should be no reason going back, right. NO, i still have friends there. And i promise my friends that i would make it to her graduation, no matter what happen.

Once i got in to the ceremony, it reminded me of my high school graduation. How i just recently experienced my high school graduation. xP.

Well, anyways, i had a feeling the graduation was going to be the same as mine. And it was.

The format of the graduation was like...about how she fails be more well rounded and her first dance, in SENIOR year. The second valedictorian speech was very enthusiastic. He put a lot of PASSION into his speech. His speech was talking about LOVE. OK, he emphasize LOVE so many time it got repetitive. And on top of that his speech was so hard to understand because of his accent. But at the end, he had a standing of applause.

The graduation as had a special guess, as did our graduation. It was Mayor Gavin Newsome. I meet him billions of times. I've lion dance for his special occasions and shook his hand a billions of times. Anyways, he gave a speech to. And guess what, it was the same speech he gave at my graduation. WTF, talking about original, right. So, his speech w
Presentation of Colors, speeches, more speeches, diplomas, and closing remarks....
lol. ok it was not as simple as that, but it was along those lines.

During the ceremony, the speeches were not that great as i thought it would be. The class president speech was ok. My friends thought it was flat. I guess because she was reading her speech in a monotone voice. This year there was two valedictorians, Heather Leo and Erda Austin Luo. The first valedictorian speech was flat again. I was like actually falling asleep. She was talkingas something like this. He talked about FAILURE and how you have to FAIL to SUCCEED. I thought it was not great speech, but i guess it made sense, i guess. BUT, come on at least come up with something better.

After the speeches, it was giving out the diplomas. The class of 2008 was not as big as it was. It was really small for some reason. There was like 400 something graduates. But i guess i can understand. I cheered for the people that i knew. I wished i had a blow horn to make a bigger sound. Probably next year.

WELL, after the ceremony was over, i went to take pictures of the fellow graduates that i knew. Also, i made a collage for my best friend who graduated too.

Here are some of the pictures i took:
































































After taking a load of pictures, i went to eat lunch with a close friend of mine and went home. The i realized that, i have two upcoming graduation to attend for the Class of 2009 and Class of 2010 (my brother graduation). I cant wait xP

Well, CONGRATULATION TO THE CLASS OF 2008.
