would like to congratulate all my fellow graduates as this day denotes another turning point in our lives, as we celebrate our graduation day and finally receive our long-awaited, hard-earned graduation certificates of recognition and diplomas. Every friendship that we began, ended, and mended and all of the wonderful and terrible experiences we have had throughout high school have paved the way right up this day that we never thought would come so fast.

After three and a half years, the day had finally come. It was the day that I had been looking forward to since graduating from high school. And it was the thought of the day that kept me going when it seemed far away. When the stressful days of projects, internships, essays, and assignments became overwhelming, I was able to catch a glimpse of the day that would lead me into the future.

you may think a simple graduation, but to the narrator and her community, it means so much more than that. This graduation shows two different sides of the black race that was correct for this time period it was written in. This graduation teaches Marguerite the importance of not letting someone crush your dreams because of their own flawed thoughts and ideas.
