Aloha Girlys and Guys!

Yup I graduated yesturday. It was set up very nicely. We sat on platforms with chairs on them and our familes sat infront of us in their chairs. There were flowers all around and people made speeches for us. My friend Jamae won the award for the smartest kid in the whole school so she had to make a speech. She made me cry because she was crying and her speech was beautiful. It was about us 8th graders growing up and about the familes, teachers, and friends. A lot of people were crying. Then after her speech our principal made a speech. It was very nice. She started to cry too.

After the principal's speech, she showed us a slideshow that she made for us. It had a bunch of pictures of all of us. The first half of the slideshow was a happy song, the second half of it was a sad song. Many of the parents, teachers, and students were crying. I was crying :P.

After that we got our diplomas. My family was crying cause they were so proud of me. My mom was especially crying.

After the ceremony we all took pictures. Me and my friend Lindsey kept hugging. Then I took a lot of pics with my friends. Nick came running up to me and gave me a huge hug. My friend Nerlyn hugged me and while he was hugging me he was saying"I'm gonna miss you so much." Then he let go of me. Then more of my friends and me were hugging.

The reason we all upset was because we have a small school but when we got to high school it's gonna be huge with a lot of kids from a different town. So we might not see each other. But a lot of us are keeping in touch.

Hugs,

Kristina
