Final Narrative Blog- Stephanie Chalef

Today is the day the Sparta High School seniors are graduating and the atmosphere is filled with an air of excitement. The seniors have been waiting for this day for what feels like forever, and it's finally here! Although behind that joy, there is an air of sadness surrounding the 2017 graduating class. One of the seniors is leaving for college very soon. Her parents are upset at the thought of their daughter leaving earlier than they believed she would. And her friends are really sad to see her go. Being one of the first seniors to leave for college is a very difficult position to be put in and although this will make you believe that graduation would be a distraction, you will soon come to realize that being surrounded by family and friends isn't as big of a distraction as previously thought. The fact that she's leaving for college pretty soon comes up more than once. Old friendships are renewed and memories of childhoods run rampant. But the excitement of graduating ultimately shines through for this senior and her friends. Through the ups and downs of graduation, comes a story of new beginnings and old friendships.
