Graduation

Today was Wil's graduation from high school ceremony. Basically it was much the same as when Carli graduated, only maybe a little worse! My husband left right after Wil walked the stage because he said he was getting a headache. I left shortly after for much the same reason.

There were student speakers from each of the five continuation schools. Then the Assistant Superintendent of the Kern High School District gave a brief speech. Each school's site administrator then read the names of the graduates as they walked across the stage. Today's ceremony seemed a little shorter than Carli's. Maybe the speeches were shorter, or maybe it was because we left before everything was done. Mercifully, Wil's school was the second to receive their diplomas.

Congratulations Wil! I love the pictures in the cap and gowns. Everyone looks so happy/relieved. LOL

Don't blame you for leaving early. Those things can get long, especially if there are more than 1 school.

Love, LC
