Static-Descriptive Essay: Graduation Calls for a Celebration

          Having the opportunity to study in a quality school, is one that should not be wasted. Students work hard in their studies in order to get into their goal of graduating to make their parents proud and of course, be successful someday. High school life is one of the  happiest and most memorable of the times in a life of a person. This is the period wherein we often get pressured by our friends and forced to try something out of consciousness. On the day of a high school graduation, feelings of sadness and nervousness tend to conquer an individual, worrying about what may happen after graduation. But then, this does not mark only the end but opens doors of opportunities and new relationships. Because graduation had passed, a follow up celebration of gratitude is usually celebrated, often called a graduation party. 

          It was the day of our graduation when one of my closest friends approached me, inviting me to attend her graduation party the next day. All that were invited gathered like ants at one side of the gymnasium, talking. Excitement was clearly drawn on our freshly make-up faces; knowing it was a pool party. It was a great sunny noontime when we arrived, carrying big smiles on our faces. More excitement came into us; we started jumping like children as soon as we saw the calm, blue-colored pool-- big enough for all of us to be accommodated and the flowers that bloomed on its sides. We immediately dressed up in our swimming attires at a newly renovated ladies room. We energetically jumped into the pool and swam as if were ignorant of it. Feelings of like no other were felt by all of us. Afterwards, we heard our stomachs grumble, signalling be filled up as the food was brought near us. Our eyes popped, seeing the pizzas in its indulging smell of pepperoni and cheese delivered from shakey's. With the huge pizzas and plates set on the table, we all sat excitedly. We prayed the grace before meals, thanking God for all the blessing and for the food in front of us as well. Afterwards, we impatiently get our pizzas out of the feeling of too much hunger. We soon felt tired, came out of the pool and put those muscles relaxed. Tiredness affected us despite the heavenly feeling with our friends near us and the fulfilling fun felt by all of us before we bid temporary goodbyes. Right after swimming; we went to the bay side and slowly walked, exchanging stories, feeling the cold air and the romantic ambiance while watching the stunning view of the sunset from the place where we were.


         Being able to achieve one's goal relieves one's mind after giving out a full effort. Time passes by, so we need to move on and go with the flow. We should not get stuck in the past. Graduation may be sad but we should learn to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities of life.
