Cool, tell em congrats! :) About all I remember from my high school graduation was the chick behind me was upset because she couldn't see over or around me, and I didn't really enjoy being there, I had to take the day off work :) (I'd graduated a semester early so technically already had my diploma)

Congrats! I never walked for graduation, and technically never graduated. Instead I took the GED, dropped out of high school, and think to this day how I should have just stuck it out and finished. Do I regret my decision, no, but I did it for the wrong intent
Tell them congrats!!

Congrads to them Fellas. I didnt even think about saying that when I was over there today and I am sorry I didnt. I was still in work mode. my Graduation party was a blast when I had to walk across the podium and get my diploma handed to me it was dead silent, until my Best friend blew the air horn from the top of mean green stadium NTSU lmfao they got it taken away until we left then we hit the parties afterwords, starting with the neighbors with some nice wine and snacks then the hotels all over town with beer and wine coolers for the ladys.
Chuck I am sorry you didnt get your diploma, I have always felt it is one of the most important documants a person can earn. A GED counts just as well but its not the same. and Trust me I had a horrible GPA I barely squeaked by and almost did the same thing you did. Your alot smarter than I was at your age too lol Back then all I wanted to do was chase girls, Wait I still do that :D
anyways I hope the Twinns have plans to continue with their education

tell them congrats! and congrats urself! its an achievement now-d-days to stick it through and graduate HS. my graduation ceremony was cool, the rest of the day sucked, ended up with a broken knuckle from punching a steel girder, but during the actual graduation ceremony pretty much the whole EMS squad showed up in all of our trucks and when they called me and my sisters names they went off with sirens and airhorns, was amazing.

I remember part of my graduation.. When "my fellow graduates" would get their names called, and start the walk to the administrators to get their diplomas (empty of course, to prevent streakers), all of their family members would stand up, and shout, clap, blow air horns, etc. My only family there was my dad, and his wife. When it was my turn, and i was called up they didnt move, make a noise, take a photo, or anything really... lol.
So a bunch of my friends in the audience and who were also graduating stepped in and made some noise. Thats when i realized that im stuck with family, but atleast i can pick great friends!!
I think i graduated 259th GPA wise out of 312 students. My junior and senior year i had a 3.75 and a 3.85 GPA, but the freshman and sophomore years sucked a little bit.

Congrats to the boys! :) Best of luck in whatever they choose to do.
My HS graduation was crazy fun...I was 9th in a class of 35 kids, gotta love a small school! Friends went all out w/ silly string & beach balls...rained like an SOB so we had the whole "congrats line" afterward in the HS gym, which was packed to standing room only.
College grad from Metro was f-in insane, but that's another story itself!

yeah I graduated in a class of 450 or so, they discouraged anyone from making noises when names were read or it would prolong the reading of the names. of courses ome folks still did.

All I'm going to say is my senior year sucked balls. We moved to Colorado my senior year, I did not know anyone. I thought the graduation ceremony was a waste of my time.

Welcome to the real world Nick. I was introduced to it in 06 when I dropped outta school and got my GED. It's been a long rough ride, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Congrats bud!
