Today I graduated. It was, for the most part, a pleasant experience. It started out pretty good, I should say. Everyone was dressed nice, we listened to the teachers talk about us, and some parents and students cried what I’m sure were forced tears of joy. None of the teachers really had anything interesting to say; it was all just more of the same. “Thank you”, “you taught me more than I taught you”, “thank you”, “you were all the brightest student I’ve ever taught”, and then some more “thank you’s

To find the answer to this question one will have to look past their own opinions, and into what would be best for the entire class, and their family members.

Although, when he was going to deep into the story that he could tell the audience was getting emotional he would go onto another topic that was not sad. Aaron has to be one strong hearted person to get up on that stage to not be emotional about the topic of the murder of his dad.
