Graduation - Tumblr Posts
Class of 2009.
I’m gonna make myself feel old, but reblog with your high school graduating class
Class of 2007.
So... Yesterday was the prom and basically last time I saw most of the people from my class after the graduation show (we put on like this meeting 20 years after graduation while impersonating certain teachers and students, including the principal), homeroom graduation encounter, along with the diploma of the grades/scores we got this year (my annual average was 87, I'm still in shock about this,I also got a diploma for excellency,even more shocking) and I just thought of this last year out of 12 years of studying and how fun it was (in some parts), like field trips, delegation to Germany, breakfasts and other activities in comparison to exams and worse: Bagrut exams(in Israel the version for finals is Bagrut, big exams about everything we've learned in this certain subject, majors/electives/mandatory, and we have to reach at least 21 points in the bagrut diploma, which we'll get only in a few months while most or at least half of us will already have started their military service which is a must for almost every 18 year old in Israel).
During this year I had this constant fight inside my head regarding whether I want to graduate already (and then army awaits, IDF, more specifically) or not because I don't want to grow up even more (can someone just put me back in kindergarten? Please?), but it's part of life and I hope that as this weird, a little bit messed up, crazy, a little bit antisocial or introverted, bookworm, Disney fanatic that I am, that things will end up fine without crying to my mom or friends that I wish with all that I am that the military service will end already or to not wish for things go even faster because life is a (hard, exhausting, overwhelming, annoying but also fun, peaceful at times and tolerable if it's with the right people) journey that needs to be explored with patience till
beautiful ending, whether if the end gets you at the age of 30,67,84 or even 100, it's something to make the most of and I really hope we all have great and happy life and I know this post is even longer than I planned but I just have a lot to say apparently 😅,and even if now things are hard, intolerable and you wish it to stop, things always change for the best, so hold on, you can do it, a lot of people believe you can make it and want you to be present in their life, so do you, don't give up and.. That's it, I guess...
Now have some of the collage(?) I worked on till late last night as a summary of (part) of my school activities from this last year:
Class of 2022.
Milestone
2 years I can't wait until I graduate But not because I will finally be done with high school Not because I'll be starting college on my own Not because I have more free time to hang with my friends I made along the way But because when I walk across that stage, and grab my diploma and when my best friend and I walk out of that building hand-in-hand I can prove my grandma right That I'm going to be something some day, no matter what anyone else says That the bigger picture can only be seen, from a different perspective That it's never too late to turn everything around, and make your life your own
5 years I can't wait to fall in love But not because I'll be happy with someone Not because I've grown up entirely Not because that could be the love of my life and the last person I fall for. But because I know when we fight, it means more than just an argument. And when you scream at me instead of leaving it keeps those promises we silently made It shows what I learned from my brother despite an age gap. That fighting is another way of showing, that I love you That when we argue, it's because we can't bare to leave That when you shout at me, your words are nothing more than a spare of the moment situation
10 years I can't wait until I get married But not because of the man or woman I will spend the rest of my life with Not because I'm starting a new chapter in my life Not because my family will be seeingone of the happiest days of my life. But because when I walk down that isle, hand in hand with my father And right before he gives me away to the love of my life I can truly thank him for everything For showing me what love was supposed to feel like when I forgot myself For showing me that time doesn't heal all wounds but the scars they leave will be badass For showing me that I will always have a place to call home
12 years I can't wait until I have a baby But not because of the child my spouse and I will create Not because I'll be starting a family Not because this child will be the my new favorite thing. But because of the phone call I will make to my sister telling her that I'm pregnant Watching as she holds my child in her arms as I thank her For showing me what a mother was supposed to be when I didn't have one For being there for me during my hardest times when no one else was there For showing me that I'll always have someone to talk to no matter how far we go
15 years I can't wait for the family photos The high school reunions The drawings on the fridge The vacations and family trips, that my family made sure were perfect Because that's how I was raised, family was always there no matter what life threw Because falling in love, doesn't have to be a Rollercoaster Because you won't always get it right the first time, but that doesn't make it impossible My kids are going to grow up with, An aunt and uncles that care so much A grandfather and grandmother that make life worth living A great grandmother that puts so much effort into things that you can't accept any less. Because at each of these milestones, I can finally say Thank You
I think people need to tell more kids that they're proud of them for graduating high school. I'm absolutely dead serious, especially now. I can see the graduating high schoolers surrounding me right now are burned out and traumatized and depressed, and they've undoubtedly had a much, much harder time in high school than I ever had, and I had some pretty shitty high school experiences.
I graduated high school with no more acknowledgement than the standard "congrats on surviving another year of school!" And immediately followed by "have you finished all your scholarship applications?" That was fine for me. I knew i wanted to go to college, I was set and ready for it, eager to get out of high school into more challenging courses.
But if I just finished high school after two years of fighting through online courses and no one acknowledged the battles I went through? If I was as burnt out and traumatized as these kids are right now? I'd have never have gone to college.
So for everyone graduating high school, even if you barely scraped by passing: I see you. I'm proud of you. You did such a good job. I wish you success in what you try to do, fortune enough to keep you safe and happy, and health always.

Took a photo while at one of the spots at my school graduation trip and decided to draw shamura
We just had our graduation dance and got our diplomas yesterday, Vixxie had a final grade (from 7th grade to 9th) of 9.7 and i (Lemon) had one of 9.6!
I also ran into a glass door as i was leaving the graduation, what a great way to end my time at my school.
My capstone project is in April 26th and my teacher wants it to emphasize my projects of this year, but I want to emphasize a story along with it….should I go with this approach
Or should I do something like this ?
Reflecting on Another Year as an Educational Assistant: Learning from High School Students Shaina Tranquilino June 26, 2024
As another school year draws to a close, I find myself in a reflective mood, thinking back on my first year as an educational assistant at a bustling high school. It's been a whirlwind of experiences, challenges, and most importantly, learning opportunities. From navigating the intricacies of the educational system to building relationships with students and staff alike, this year has been incredibly enriching.
One of the most striking aspects of my role has been the opportunity to learn from the students themselves. While my job primarily revolves around supporting their learning and development, it's remarkable how much they have taught me in return. Here are a few lessons that high school students have imparted to me over the course of this academic year:
1. Resilience in the Face of Adversity: High school can be a tumultuous time, filled with academic pressures, social challenges, and personal growth. Yet, despite facing these hurdles, many students display remarkable resilience. They've taught me that setbacks are a part of life, but what truly matters is how we bounce back and keep moving forward.
2. Embracing Diversity and Inclusion: Today's high school classrooms are diverse, encompassing students from various cultural, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds. Interacting with such a diverse group has broadened my perspective and reinforced the importance of inclusivity. Students have shown me the power of empathy, acceptance, and celebrating differences.
3. Harnessing Technology with Ease: In the digital age, teenagers are often more adept at navigating technology than many adults. From coding to creating multimedia presentations, students have taught me innovative ways to integrate technology into education effectively. Their fluency with digital tools is not just impressive but also inspiring.
4. Passion for Learning Beyond the Curriculum: While academic subjects are crucial, high school students are also passionate about exploring interests beyond the classroom. Whether it's pursuing hobbies, participating in extracurricular activities, or engaging in community service, they've reminded me that true education extends far beyond textbooks.
5. Authenticity and Honesty: Teenagers are refreshingly candid in their expressions and interactions. They haven't yet mastered the art of pretense that adults sometimes adopt. Their honesty and authenticity serve as a reminder to stay genuine in all my interactions, fostering trust and meaningful connections.
6. Optimism and Hope for the Future: Despite the challenges they face, many high school students exude optimism about their future and the world around them. Their idealism is contagious and serves as a powerful motivator to continue supporting and nurturing their dreams.
As I prepare for graduation ceremonies and the upcoming summer break, I'm grateful for the privilege of working alongside such inspiring young individuals. Each day spent in the classroom has been a learning experience, not just for the students, but for me as well. I look forward to carrying these lessons forward as I continue to grow in my role as an educational assistant.
Being an educational assistant isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's about cultivating a deeper understanding of oneself and others. High school students have an incredible capacity to teach, and I am honoured to have learned alongside them this year. Here's to many more years of growth, learning, and making a difference in the lives of students.

Day 15 • • Feb 15th I am SO PROUD of my students. When they get a win, they set up success for their whole household and our community. #blackishistorytoo #blackandwhitechallenge #blackandwhitephotography #blackexcellence #graduation #ExcelCenter #waitingtoexcel #teaching #education (at The Excel Center)
Mah baby done graduated!!!! It’s been quite a journey for her: some blows, some chokeholds, some long rounds, but never any KO’s. She’s a fighter. I feel like she meeting her goals every day. In her honor I had celebratory tacos 🌮🌮🎉 #graduation #triumph #muchalucha (at Paco's Taqueria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BredvPKHgEW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rsu3yzdi9f8f
18 May 2022- Another Life Update (This time a happy one)
Well, I did it ya’ll. I have, officially, graduated.
These past couple of years have been rough, but I’m really proud of myself. Grad school is already hard on its own. Grad school with a pandemic AND a bunch of negative things happening in your personal life? Don’t get me started...
Anyway, I’m (cautiously) looking forward to what my future holds. So far, I’ve been able to cross off a few things from the vision board I made on New Year’s Eve. I’m determined to cross off more soon.
Also, with school out of the way, I think this is the perfect time to get back on track with my health and fitness goals. I haven’t stepped foot inside a gym in MONTHS. I’m actually looking forward to restarting tomorrow.
I know I’ve done this several times already. I used to feel embarrassed every time I would post about having another setback on here. But, you know what? I’ll restart 100 times if that’s what it takes to get to where I want.
So, here we go again :)
Im taking my first step into the Nursing world.
Thank you to my family and friends who have always and will always be there for me.
