March is when many students march down the aisle to take their final steps in their 1 whole year of academic life. Aside from special events like Christmas, New Year, or even birthdays, graduation is the best feeling a student can feel. Months of sleepless nights because of studying, doing projects, and tons of school homework are some of the major tasks of being a student. On the brighter side, their whole school year ends, and it's time to celebrate the victory.
When I was an ALT, I witnessed a Japanese graduation ceremony and I can say it was a solemn, simple but heartfelt event. The Japanese graduation ceremony was held inside their gymnasium and they were wearing their school uniform.
When I was in high school, our graduation was held inside the Roman Catholic Church ( St. Andrew Cathedral ) since I studied in a Catholic school ( St. Andrew`s School ).
My school ( highschool ) before.
School`s graduation ceremony inside the church.
The graduation ceremony in the Philippines is quite long because we need to attend church mass and proceed directly to the graduation rites. The church was big and it was enough to accommodate the whole family members to attend the graduation ceremony.
