On June 11th 2009, I graduated from Swansboro High School. I wasn't nervous until I got closer to the stage. That's when it actually hit me that I was graduating high school. I can't believe it! And it's crazier because I graduated a year early. Once I came out of the lobby after picking up my diploma, I was rushing to find my family. Then I saw them standing there with leis. I couldn't be any happier. I started crying as I was hugging everyone. Special moments mean a lot more when you're surrounded by people that you love and people that love you. I'm VERY thankful that my aunts, cousins, great-grandpa, and grandma were here. And that people that weren't able to be at my graduation had the opportunity to see it live on the internet. Everyone keeps asking me how I feel, and to be honest I don't really know. I guess once college starts up, then maybe I'll start missing high school. But until then, I'm glad I'm outta that hell hole.
The next day we had my graduation cookout, and I invited some of my good friends over to enjoy some amazing Filipino food! It wasn't anything big, but it means a lot to me that my family and friends came together to celebrate me graduating from high school. And they also surprised me with a cake, and then my dad surprised me by singing "Happy Graduation" in the "Happy Birthday" tune haha. Then things got a little outta hand with the cake. If you know my family and what they do with cake, then I'm sure you know what I'm gonna say next. My grandma tried to be sneaky at smear some icing on my face, so I grabbed a huge piece and chased her. I didn't get her, but I got my mom and she got me good. Then my friends started getting into it once my family went inside... I guess they were being shy or something haha. Anyways to wrap things up graduating is definitely one of the obstacles in my life that I have achieved, and I'm proud of myself for getting through it. I feel that I've grown up a lot these past few years, and that I'm definitely ready to take on whatever else is waiting to challenge me in the future.
