I feel as if graduation is just going to be administration and students talking about what we changed about the school, when in reality we didn't really change that much. Administration never really listening to student council or class council and were not as open to ideas as they would like to admit. Most all of the teacher say that administration fights for us but how? We don't have traditions, like name one tradition? Because I cannot think of any traditions. Graduation is just the one place that administration and students get to lie to parents, friends, and families' faces and not think twice. I bet at graduation it is going to make the high school seem so nice and functional, when in reality it is not!
Although, the actual ceremony is not supposed to be that long, considering that we have through everyone's names and all, but how many people do you think are going to be annoyed or just straight up zone out when everyone is making their speeches and saying false things about the school? My guess... a lot. Most people at this school don't want to hear about the things the school think we did, they would rather get their diploma and go out to eat or take a nap.
I mean... don't get me wrong, I don't think graduation will be a total bust. I mean I'll get to hear all about the Ivy League schools that people got into and how impressed the school is with their accomplishments. I really, truly haven't heard enough about people getting into Harvard and Yale and those students really don't brag about it that much, so I'm happy that I get to hear it once more at graduation!! And god forbid they mention schools that aren't UD or Ivy League, well maybe they will mention people or the schools that gave people full rides, because we want to showcase (excuse me "shove in people's faces") what schools people are going to or where they are going for free because nothing matters to charter most than "showcasing the students" (excuse me the favorites).
But at least we have the senior awards ceremony the day before to balance out the favoritism presented at Graduation! I mean I get to see, once again, the students (favorites) of Newark Charter be presented awards that they probably already have and know they are getting! Let's be honest, we all already know what students are getting what awards, and they already know as well. They already act like they won and are talking about their "acceptance speech" and showcasing (excuse me shoving) their "talents" (excuse me "sucking up ability). But don't worry because we've been assured by administration that their is no favoritism at this school and no bullying, so I guess we can all sleep well tonight, knowing that the school is unbiassed and bullying free.
Back to graduation, as soon as I get my diploma and say goodbye to people who I never really liked in the first place, I get to go out to eat and finally relax. But first I'll get to take some pictures will people who say they are coming to visit me in Florida or say we have to keep in touch, but in reality it will just be fake people saying fake things but at least I'm finally out! At least I finally get to leave this school (excuse me "warehouse") and finally be free!!!
This is how I will be at the end of Graduation ...
