Then panic set in.My feelings took a 180degree turn.I really didn't want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all.It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didn't enjoy the idea of being__on__the__bottom__rung__of__the__ladder again.
Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day.As the familiar music of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed in the background, I looked around at the other students in white caps and gowns as we solemnly (庄严地) filed into the auditorium (礼堂).Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness.As if in a daze, I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma (毕业证书).As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brandnew life.Exciting as the prospect of a new life seemed, it wasn't easy saying goodbye to the old ones—the familiar faces, the familiar routine.I would even miss that chemistry class I wasn't particularly fond of and the long commute each day between home and school that I hated.Good or bad, it was what I knew.
That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island.I needn't have worried about liking it.My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life.And as for friends, I still treasure some of the friendships I formed there today.Years later, financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good.Although going back is impossible, it's comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.
