Graduation!
I went to the Graduation ceremony today for ECPI. The majority of the graduates have survived my math class. Young whipper-snappers grow up so fast.
The ceremony was a great deal of fun. Unlike graduations I've been to at the past, the joy was not sucked out of the experience. The students hooped and hollered as their groups were announced, the family and friends in attendance cheered as each name was read, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
I'm glad I went.
My proudest moment, however, was during the valedictorian's speech. He commented how much he enjoyed the experience at the school and how he always looked forward to attending class, expect on two occasions: When he had the flu, and when he had math class.
I was proud.
