The day finally came, the day my only daughter graduated from high school. We'd been preparing for this day all year, going to university expos, applying to colleges, sending in financial aid and scholarship applications and even taking college course workshops. But truly, nothing prepares a parent for the emotional roller-coaster of closing one chapter of your child's life for another.
The day arrived, beautiful as ever, as if the sun decided to bless the graduates with its presence as a gift. The space, a local church, was elegantly decorated, ready to receive its guests. The ceremony was sweet, short and very well done. Among the many accolades bestowed upon my daughter, the one she cherished the most was getting top 3 best academic achievement, something she had been working towards her whole high school life.
I look forward to what's in store for her in the near future because I know it will be a great one
And another tradition I love to follow for any event, is styling the perfect look for the occasion. My red thrifted trousers paired with the black blazer shirt and pointed toe heels was definitely giving elegantly and classy.
