How Slightly Unfair

As it is June, it is graduation time. Why is it that high school graduation is glorified and celebrated much more than college, middle school, or elementary graduation? I survived middle school! (Well, almost...I have approx. 3 days left.) I think that surviving middle school is quite a feat. You have to live through those awkward years of your life and getting used to the raging hormones inside you. Everyone and everything's changing. It's a difficult time, for some. I really didn't have that hard of a time, but still. I personally think that middle schoolers need some sort of ceremony. We get a little assembly during school. They don't even call every student's name, just those getting the Presidential Academic Award. I don't think it's quite fair. Some would disagree while some would agree. It's all about how you look at it. All I have to say is "how slightly unfair."

It is unfair, I agree. But I guess it makes high school graduation even more special. ? Or something trite like that. ;)

Honestly though, you'll be lucky to remember middle school by the time you graduate from high school. I don't get invited to very many parties because most kids just want to forget their middle school years. They can be pretty awful. And wonderful. It's definitely the roller coaster here!
