When I walked up the stairs of my high school in my cap and gown, the typical
graduation ceremony song filled my ears and a huge lump formed in my throat as I
held back the tears. I felt sad that these four years of a Griffith Panther were
behind me, but i was also very excited to start the new chapter of my life. I
took my seat next to my fellow classmates and waited patiently through the
speeches to receive my diploma.
Following the ceremony i enjoyed lunch at
one of my favorite Italian restaurants with my family. While i was devouring my
meal my grandma slipped me a card and whispered "Read it later." I didn't want
to wait so i quickly broke the envelope seal and I noticed two-hundred and fifty
dollars fell onto my lap when I started reading the note she had written me. It
said " As you start this new chapter of your life always remember i am with you
every step of the way and i support you in every way possible." The dry lump in
my throat returned and tears rolled down my cheeks. I was happy she supported me
with anything i did and i knew she was proud of me for graduating. "Thank You
Grandma" i reassured. I wanted her to know how thankful i really was for her
generous gift and for always being on my side.
.When i read the graduation
card from her it reminds me how my grandma may not be here physically,because of
her lost battle with lung cancer,but she is with me spiritually. I am reminded
that she is very proud with every decision I make and i love how just reading an
old graduation card can put a smile on my face and make my day so much better.
