What can I say about myself. Not like anyone is really gonna read this. Well, I would like to think of myself as a good guy although I
can lose my temper quite easily, so watch out a bit. Nothing personal hehe. I love soccer, that's all I can think about right now. I LOVE
SOCCER! What more can I say? Haha!
Graduated last night. Very emotional, very sentimental. I do not believe I will ever get as many hugs as I did last night. But I will get too that later.
Now how many people get to graduated with a Star Wars theme song huh? After all the 6th grade grads marched down the isle, we were like, 'oh no' here comes us. Us marching with the same old corny ethnic beat that we have been fed for the past several years. All 6th grades walked? Check, our turn, YES. Then suddenly. Star Wars comes blasting and the words come out over the stereo 'our high school grads.' We marched down that isle with that Star Wars song blasting.
That was pretty unique and cool. After we all received our diploma we sat back down. Then there was a special award, I thought that they had tricked us and brought back the leadership award, but no. They had a special recognition of my student council and my contribution to it. I waled onto stage and shook T.Emma's hand as T.Ana talked about all I had done and meant to the school. Before this all started, before the whole grad even began, I promised myself I would not cry. No matter what, now matter how much I missed my parents or how much I knew I would miss my friends. I would not cry. But as T.Ana was talking, I did cry. Just a few tears, but the first of many for tonight. My mom and dad would have been so proud of me and I really wished for them to have been there. I got a couple of hugs from T.Emma and C.Wacky then and there.
The rest of the presentation went well, yes the sound system messed up every now and then but it didn't make the whole event less memorable. Every enjoyed our different videos that us 4th years had made about ourselves. Alot of laughing and smiling. The sang our goodbye 'thanks' song and it sounded nice.
I must give recognition to someone now. Ana Cabungcal worked almost all by herself on a tribute to the 4th years. I did not work on stage because of technical difficulties. THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER WORK ANY LESS AMAZING. Ana worked her butt off and she did a hell of a job. Enrique was right, this video was for us 4th years and maybe it was better that we watched together with the 3rd years, just us guys.
So much hugging, so much crying. I can not even list who I hugged, it was basically anyone who came close enough to me. I would be hugging 4to5 people at a time. Some people who I did even think cared that much came and hugged me crying as well. Really emotional.
I love all this guys so much. They are not even friends for me anymore, they are family. This Hedcen experience has been hella worth it and I am sorry to see it end but the future holds so much for all of us and we will make sure that it is a future where we are all still friends together.
