Just the other day, I was thinking about how fast this year is going already \u2013 here it is, the middle of June. That thought reminded me that another class of ROCORI High School seniors graduated recently.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure if this is normal, but I graduated from ROCORI 52 years ago. I remember the day and how the classmates lined up in the hallway in the order they\u2019d be seated on the gym floor. I recall it was a warm day \u2013 as early June days can be. I remember the classmates I sat next to. Beyond that, I don\u2019t have a clear recollection about who gave speeches, nor what they spoke about.<\/p>\n
I remember how I felt about graduating. I would imagine most high school seniors feel the same as I did \u2013 excited that graduation finally arrived, yet nervous about what the future would look like.<\/p>\n
Some graduates had firm plans about which college they would attend. Some already had jobs lined up. Some knew they\u2019d work AND go to college. Yet others didn\u2019t have a clear direction for where their post-high-school days would take them.<\/p>\n
For some, graduating from high school came quicker than they had imagined, and they needed more time to figure out where their lives would take them.<\/p>\n
I remember there were several classmates in the Class of \u201874 who couldn\u2019t wait to leave the area. Others had no plans to leave and remained rooted in the ROCORI area.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still proud to have graduated from ROCORI High School and hope the majority of the graduates who followed me still feel the same way as well.<\/p>\n
Good luck to the recent graduates of ROCORI High School \u2013 I wish you success in your post-high-school life.<\/p>\n
