It's the end of the school year and another set of graduates will be gracing the stage with their presence. What is it about the end of the school year and graduation that makes everyone, particularly mothers, so teary-eyed when we see our sons and daughters going up the stage to accept their diplomas?
I still remember what a friend once told me about the parents being teary-eyed during graduation. It goes something like this. If the child is graduating from elementary or high school, the parents are teary-eyed because they will be paying for a higher tuition fee in the coming school year. However, when the child is graduating from college, the parents become teary-eyed because finally they don't need to pay for tuition fees!
My take on this? I know that parents are teary-eyed because they are proud of their children's achievements.
To all Batch 2010 graduates, CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it!
