okay well I am not a graduate of Riverside High School. I don't have any pictures from graduation, but I bought the professional ones, so I will post those when I get them in the mail. My mom sat way out in the middle of the auditorium so she didn't take very many good pictures but what she does have I will get from her and post as well. I was so nervous before I got up and made my speech. I couldn't stand still when they lined us up at the door before we marched out. I was walking all over the place being my nervous old self. I was talking to my number two (her name is Andrea.. all year we would refer to each other as one and two) and telling her how much I am going to miss her and stuff ya know. I had known her since first grade, she's one of my really good friends. Well they opened the door and said two minutes.. I got really scared everyone had their camcorders pointed at me and I was looking around at everyone. I couldn't believe all those people where there. Well the two minutes passed and I heard the music cut on.. I walked out and everyone was looking at me and taking pictures.. and I made my way up to the stage.. when I got behind the curtain I looked at Andrea I was like here we go! And then I stood there and waited for the other 66 to get to their chairs.. and they we pledged and prayed.. and then we all sat.. then Andrea spoke.. and then I had to get up and talk.. well I reached down to get my speech.. and my honor cord fell off my shoulder and I couldn't get it back on over top the ruffle on my shoulder.. so I finally got it back on and I said my speech. I only really messed up one time I lost my spot.. but I kept going.. and then the principal gave a speech and gave me and Aindrea a trophy.. It was tiny Ill show you a picture of it.. its like a graduation hat with a scroll behind it and it says valedictorian on it then the superintendent spoke.. and then they started calling out names for people to go get their diploma.. I'm about toward the end.. so I had to wait a long time.. but it was all finally over and we all stood up when photograph started playing and I led us out to the back where I got mauled by people and stuff.. and I wasn't suppose to talk to any one or anything till the song stopped and we threw our hats.. well we threw them and some ones point of their hat came down and hit me in the top of my head.. and then people came up and was surrounding us and no one could move.. my mom took all my stuff out of my hands.. then I had to turn in my gown and get my real diploma and stuff.. I though I lost the stuff I gave to my mom because I forgot about it.. Then every one was stopping me and telling me how great I did and how proud of me they were.. and all that good stuff ya know.. and then me and my mom left to go out and eat with my boyfriends family. The restaurant was packed.. and it took them thirty minutes to get us drinks.. it was crappy but it was nice company and stuff..
( onto the very crappy pictures )I am working a lot now that I am done with school.. but on Wednesday I leave for Destin Florida. wish me luck and lots of fun!
