June 3rd, 2008, Kalani High school sent off about 200 senior students [ 9 valedictorians and 46 honor graduates ] in their graduation. I should say, I am honored to be one of the students in the '08 class. We were introduced to the audience as the 50th, the golden year, graduating class.
Over last 4 years of Kalani high school, there were lots of things that had happened. They consist of getting to know new friends, new inside jokes, participating in athletic events, and achieving goals academically. Out of all the fellow students, I probably could only name those few that I was close with, but inside my heart, we all remain as the one, the class of '08. We pretty much represented the school. Academically, our class exceed in every graded tests. Atheletically, we swept the State of Hawaii and stood before others. In many other things, we exceeded and proudly represented our school. However, we are now graduates who now represents not as students of Kalani High school, but as the alumnis of Kalani High school.
Graduation were followed by 2 songs, Hawai'i Pono'i and America the Beautiful. Throughout ceremony, we presented to the audience our 8 out of 9 valedictorians [ One did not attend the graduation ] and 46 honor graduates. Then after our celebration of finally maturing and being part of 'the real world', we ended our graduation with songs by jet jackson and Beatles.
After graduation ceremony, the graduates, families, and friends were then led to this other place where all the graduates were lei'ed and receive their congratulations. I, too, was buried under uncountable lei's in blessings of family members and friends.
Then the graduates were led to the bus on their way to project grad. The main purpose of this was to prevent alcohol and drug abuse on the night of graduation. So by keeping the graduates together, we were able to bond and avoid the intoxication on the graduation night. We were led to this officer's lounge in the Marine base. This place was like an informal banquet. we had a nice dinner, followed by games such as, guitar hero3, balloon art, air tattoo, hulahoop contest then we had choice of whether to swim, play mini golf, batting, and bumper boat. Then when we all got back to the lounge, we were entertained by the hypnotist.
This was the night to never forget. The day that will change our lives.
