Graduates

There are three types of graduates: those who are sad to leave high school, those who can't wait to get out, and those who feel a bit of both. I always thought I would be really sad about leaving high school. I remember crying after I got home from my last day of elementary school although I was more than glad to leave middle school. I'm starting to think the difference between what the graduates feel is all based on whether or not they've had good memories while at school. I had an awful time during middle school which is why I was happy to leave. High school hasn't been that bad for me but there aren't many significant memories I have of it or times I will miss. High school hasn't really been something I've enjoyed, more of something I've had to do. I think this is why I always say that I can't wait to graduate. I'm sure I'll be sad on my last day of school, saying goodbye to the people I've known for 4+ years but when it comes down to it, I don't think I'll miss high school at all.
