Hello everyone, Good afternoon and welcome to my blogs
The day I was Matriculated holds a special significance in my life since it stands for lots of toil, aspirations and expectation that has been fulfilled. It was a day in which I had been eagerly looking forward to, and when it came, it looked like a fairy tale.The mood was both powerful but joyous; the common feeling shared by students and their relatives. It was this day that may seem personal but it was rather a unifying affair of everyone who had gone through an education system.
In anticipation of that day, I went through a number of emotions. There was excitement of embarking on the new academic adventure, together with the sad acceptance that I was done with secondary school. It took me ages to chose that perfect dress, I really wanted to look good as I ascended the stage. I cherished and valued every support from my family and more so, I wanted to show how proud they are of me.
The pomp and spell of the ceremony was out of this world. When I got to the location, I was met by a countless number of bright faces and colorful gowns all of which belonged to the different students who turned up for this event. The place was full of joy, warm exchanges and a lot of fond chit chats. I scanned the room and I was happy to spot some of my friends who, over the time span of many years, I have made numerous fun-filled episodes with. I claimed my space like every other friend and we all looked stunningly beautiful, ready to immortalize the memories of the day.
There was a lot of anticipation when it came for the actual matriculation ceremony, I was not able to hold it much longer. When the lines were formed, I experienced the sense of unity with my classmates. It was a sense of togetherness that we all shared with each other, fighting for the same cause and having the same hopes for the days to come. Then the stage was an image created in my mind for such a long period of time, such hope became true. It was not simply a customary ceremony that should take place; it was the ending of all those years of preparation, sleepless nights, racid and learning skills.
The pictures taken during and after the ceremony were all that one can talk about from the event. Every single photo not only included grinning faces and poses but also the day’s heartwarming moments the expressing happiness, the priceless rest and the thrill of the days to come. Those images say a lot about the people in those photos, the friendship made in bond, the struggles faced and the ambitions chased. Every single shot has a memory captured from the joyous moments spent with friends as well as the family that always motivated me in every step of the way.
As I think back on that occasion, it becomes clear that it was a day of much more than merely having a good time because of one’s academic achievements. New chances and new adventures were opened up as well. Matriculation day served me with the greatest meditation on the value of hard work and even more so, pursuing one’s dreams. It inspired me to raise the bar even higher than it was and to face the challenges that come with it.
In the years that lie ahead, I have no doubt that I shall remember that day in a very warm way. It was a milestone, a day that was full of joy when not only one’s achievements were commemorated but also many memories were created. The picture capture of that day will always be cherished in my heart as a token of where the journey started and where there are no boundaries. Matriculation day was not merely a programme it enclosed dreams, aspirations and the beautiful art of living itself.
