The event I have chosen is my graduation. It will be a ceremony recognizing the completion of my high school education, as well as a turning point in my life as I leave my home to go to college, with more responsibility and independence. The commemoration celebration of my high school graduation will last 12 hours, taking place at the high school, involving a 12 course meal as well as the receiving of 12 gifts. Parents will give 1 gift to graduates, as a symbol of the last dependence the graduates will have on the parents before leaving for college, and the graduates will give gifts to 11 students who have not graduated yet, to signify passing on the responsibilities of a senior to the underclassmen. Other festivities may include a movie-watching, playing games or sports, and making/listening to music (perhaps even a 12-act show or concert).
Words to be said at the commencement of the festival:
12 grades have been passed. 12 years you have persevered. 12 lifetimes you have given. Now we give these 12 hours to you.
