Graduation Awards
There’s this wonderful feeling that friends, in real life and online friends are feeling right now: joy and pride. No, these are not detergent brands, but “proud” feelings.
Why? Some of these friends have children who graduated wit honors. One friend even wrote in a chat room where we converge that is is so happy putting medals on her son who just graduated and has been accepted in all four top universities he applied to. One dear friend has also a graduating daughter given a distinction with the sport she excelled in. I know all those early and late hours they spent for practice has been forgotten.
Beyond the certificates of recognition, the trophies and medals and the gifts, children who worked hard to have grades better than their classmates should be given affirmation that they can do what they want, be what they want and achieve their goals and dreams because they give their best.
I hope I would feel the same when my children go up the stage for their graduation day 🙂
