for the son of my gf.
Not that I said this out loud but it seemed weird to me. Grade 8 graduation. With the law being that you have to stay in school up to a certain age, you really have no choice but to graduate grade 8. The only way to avoid it is to fail about 3-4 times and then drop out. It's not really an accomplishment. Kind of like having a big ceremony for good attendance.
But I think too much. What the hell, give the kids a pat on the back.
Here are my 2 major observations.
1) I'm sorry, I am a horrible person for noticing this - I am going straight to hell - but some of those 13 year-old girls look like they could be 22. I mean there was one I saw before the ceremonies that I was drooling over and assuming she was someone's older sister - but no. She was there to pick up a grade 8 diploma. I'm really sorry.
2) The whole thing made me sad. I suppose it's all about my own unfulfilled potential. I won awards at various ages and maybe people made comments about how I was likely to change the world. I dunno, it just made me a bit melancholy. I want to go back and try again.
Make me young again. Make me young again.
That is all.
