Before I talk about the "Graduation" excerpt by Maya Angelou.
I want to write about my own graduation experiences or lack there of lol.
During elementary I moved alot and seemed to always be on the road or in the middle of packing so graduations have always been passed over as a non priority. Then I came to boston when I was 12 just in t ime to take the ISEE exam which got me into Latin School for High school. Since latin school is a 6 year program I never graduated from middle school and didnt graduate from High school until 2000. Then I went to a Photography trade school they had a graduation but some family crisis took me away from that. Then In Chicago I started college then transfered to Simmons. So next year will be in some respects me first Big celebrated graduation. I refuse to not celebrate it in a bog way. Since my family has never made abig deal out of them I didnt really see the importance yet as I read the Maya Angelou piece I began to understand why they are so symbolic. Blah Blah Blah off to class will finish writing later..........................
