~:[CH9 - Day 163]:~ A Second Chance
Life sometimes can be about second chances. Our school completed their official graduation last night virtually, however, they ended up hosting a drive thru graduation, allowing the graduates come in person to receive their diplomas and they sure did come through in force.. Although it was a killer day with over eight hours in the sun and my body was sore when I arrived home, it was an investment and time and energy that was well worth it. As much as these students may have wanted that traditional graduation, they instead had all the components spread across a few days. They also had a chance to have family and friends front and center as they received their diplomas. The decorations on cars, the designed caps, and even the dogs were a plus to the ceremony. Among other things, we found a new mascot, confetti made the event festive, and of course the trolly was one that was not to be missed. However, more importantly, the joy on the faces of the seniors was priceless as they got to walk across the stage even if for just a bit. In the end, in these trying times, I feel like we were able to provide these seniors with a special farewell they can remember. Life doesn't always give you second chances, but when it does, I hope that they can all feel somewhat like this.
