TTA-My Graduation

Okay so I am really behind and I have so much to catch up on. Here is a TTA from early June.

My graduation day was a funny day. Well it was not funny that day but as I look back at it I think it is hilarious. On my graduation day I locked the keys in my car... on the highway... while it was running.

So here is how it went down. My parents came into town the day of my graduation from Colorado. My graduating class was pretty big and we held the graduation downtown Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center so every guest had to have a ticket. It was getting late in the day and my graduation was to start in a few hours. My Mom and Dad had not made it to the house yet to get their tickets and I was supposed to be at the ceremony an hour early. When they still didn't make it there I finally had to leave to get down town. I started down the highway and I saw them comming so I flipped the car around, caught them and we pulled over to the side of the road. I put the car in park, grabbed their tickets, opened the door, got out, and by habit locked the door. I immediately realized what I had done and started freaking out. My Dad didn't have a key but my boyfriend did. So we drove to his house, he was waiting on my to pick him up anyway, got the key and had to drive back to my car to unlock it. By this time I was frustrated, stressed and late. I didn't have any time to take any pictures of the day with my parents or anything.


The ceremony was long and boring as most of them are. I was proud that I graduated with honors especially since I had no idea that I was going to. I was so oblivious to school and grades. I knew I got good grades but I didn't know anything about GPA's or whatever and I didn't know it was a big deal. I took a lot of honors classes and I graduated with a weighted GPA of 4.23. Who knew!! I also received an award for Language Arts Student of the Year. I almost didn't go to the awards ceremony because I had to go alone with no family and I thought it would be dorky.


I was sad to graduate. I loved high school and I have great memories. It was exciting to graduate but it was bitter sweet becuase the next day I had to leave town, and my friends, and move back to Colorado with my parents. That was rough and I didn't want to go.
