The Graduation that didn’t happen
When I was in Grade 6, we were already preparing for graduation. We even took our graduation pictorial, and everyone was very excited. I felt happy because I thought the big day was finally near. About two weeks later, we heard the news that classes were suspended for two weeks. At first, we were happy because we thought it was just a short break. We did not really know the reason behind it until we learned about the COVID-19 virus. The two-week suspension turned into a lockdown that lasted almost two years. Because of the long lockdown, we were not able to experience our Grade 6 graduation. I felt sad and disappointed, but I slowly learned to accept what happened. Even without the ceremony, I continued moving forward and stayed hopeful for the future.
