I love that your eldest got to have a graduation ceremony. We are in a state with a low population and while homeschooling was gaining popularity, it was still relatively rare, so most homeschoolers had to travel quite a bit to meet up. I think my eldest would have loved a graduation ceremony and I'm sad that we couldn't do that for her. She got one for her degree, but it was very crowded with those mere seconds to go and claim.

My youngest, on the other hand, had the opportunity for a graduation party even, as she went through Open Access for her last years, but she had no interest in it and wouldn't have known anyone there anyway.

They have a partying tradition here called Schoolies for high school graduates. I wonder if my eldest also felt she missed out there. She's never mentioned that, though.
