My Graduation day!!








The best day for my dad was my graduation day. It was the day my dad was waiting for 14 years. He always used to tell me "Mohamed give an effort on your study and you'll feel it in your graduation day". And I did, I couldn't stop smiling for 4 days. I used to wake up in the morning and look at the distingsion certificate and smile, and the same thing before I go sleep. It was a day I would never forget.

Before the graduation day all the students were shopping and going to the gym and do many other things to look good in the graduation day. And I was doing the same thing, I went to the beach and got tanned while sailing, went to the barber and cut my hair, went shopping, and went to the gym. I was so nervous when I went shopping for a graduation suit, I went to 3 malls and didn't like any thing in them. I finally called my dad and asked for his help, and he took me to one of the best suit shops. Then he choose for me a black suit with a leather shoe and an amazing tie. I felt happy that day and thanked my dad for the help.

On the graduation day I took a bath, wore my suit for the first time, and had some accessories with me too. My dad, mom, brothers, and sister were all helping me look good. My dad was fixing my ties, my mom was fixing my hair, my brothers were helping me wear my cloth, and my sister was holding my accessories. They were all cheering me up as I was so nervous. And before I go out my mom had my graduation rope and hat in a small bag and gave me advices into how to wear it.

Before I go out of the house I felt a little bit down because none of my brothers neither my sister can come to the graduation because they had their final exams. And the main things that was taking my whole thoughts was, would my mother come to my graduation or not? Because she had to help my sister study for the final exam. After that my dad looked at me and he smiled, he really cheered my up by that look. Then we went the graduation, it was in the Rotana plaza hotel which is really gorgeous. I stepped out of the car and walked inside the lobby to the royal section where the graduation took place. I saw my friends and went toward them and started talking.

I really felt nervous and disappointed before the start because my girl friend and most of my friends couldn't come because they have exams. But still I was holding my self. We took photos together. My classmates cheered me up by the jokes and funny comments they started making on each other. Then they gathered us and made us walk after each other as we practices before. A girl and a guy had to walk beside each other while entering the graduation room. We entered inside and we were really amazed by the place, people, and cameras picturing us. And then we entered and sat on the chairs.


The graduation started with the National song followed by the Quran. We were all nervous because we didn't know our grades or what are we going to get. I was really nervous about this thing I wanted to know if I got above 90% and get a distingsion certificate or above 85% and get honor certificate. Until my turn came the school principle said " Mohamed AL Obaidli with distigsion", and I felt really happy, and what made me feel even happier was when I saw my dad and mom waving to me. I held my breath and walked to my certificate. And as soon as I held it 100 flashed were on my eye, it was a feeling mixed with fear, excitement, and happiness.

At the end of the graduation the school principle thanked us the graduated students for class 2006 and we threw the hats up in the air. And by mistake my hat fell on the graduation cake and I started laughing with my best friend which knew it was my hat. Every one was busy and didn't even realize that it was my hat. Then I went toward my dad and mom's table. And I could see the tears in my mom's eye as I was coming close to her. I hugged my dad first and then my mom, they were really happy. I'm pleased to see the smile on their faces, thing is the happiest moments in my whole life.

Nice story. I like to read your journals because you always include interesting details and your know how to tell a story well. I especially like the part about your hat falling on the graduation cake. Very funny! And I'm sure no one will ever forget that...
