my daughter's high school graduation

My youngest daughter graduated from Songchon High School today.
There was a graduation ceremony in the auditorium, but I had to park my car, so my wife and eldest daughter went in first and I went in the middle of the graduation ceremony.I entered the auditorium and stood at the end to watch. There is a Frankard hanging saying, "Congratulations on your graduation and a new start." A band of teachers sang a congratulatory song for your graduation.
And I watched the graduation video.
The background music played "Now Goodbye" by Gun-ah. The performers in the video sang along.
I became a little emotional as I savored the lyrics of the song "Goodbye Now".

The times we spent together
Now, let's all go back to our memories
I don't want to leave it
Precious moments
Goodbye now. Goodbye now
🎵🎵🎵
So many stories
It stays in each other's hearts
When you leave, you laugh
Those of us who used to break up
Goodbye now. Goodbye now
🎸🎵🎵🎵

The root of graduation, gradus, is Latin for step

Graduation in the United States is called commencement. In English, commencement translates to “graduation ceremony” or “degree conferral”. However, another meaning of the word is “beginning”.

Dear daughter ❤️ Congratulations on your graduation. And congratulations and support for your new start as a college student. 😀

오늘 막내 딸이 송촌고등학교를 졸업했다.
대강당에서 졸업식이 있었는데 차 주차 때문에 아내와 큰 딸은 먼저 들어가고 나는 중간에 들어갔다.
대강당에 들어가서 끝에 서서 보았다. "졸업과 새출발을 축하합니다"라는 프랭카드가 걸려있다. 선생님들로 구성된 밴드가 졸업 축하 노래를 불러줬다.
그리고 졸업 영상을 시청했다.
배경음악으로 건아들의 "이젠 안녕"이 흘러나왔다. 영상 속 출연자들은 노래를 따라 불렀다.
"이젠 안녕" 노래가사를 음미하면서 약간 심쿵했다.
