Too Long; Didn't Read
The most <strong>ceremonial moment</strong> in my life was my college commencement. My parents flew for 14 hours from China. I got my cap & gown the day before, bought a new dress for graduation, fixed my tassel, put on the bachelor hood representing our school, and walked the lawn together with my class one last time. That repeated the same walk we did the day we started school. My favorite professor hugged me as I waited to get my diploma. My name was called as I walked towards the president. I shook his hand, got my diploma, and smiled facing the camera. Tears. Hugs. Pride. Goodbyes. This is the milestone I envisioned since kindergarten.
