The history books of their school will note what a show they gave. Learning is wonderful because no one can ever take it away from you.
A B.B. King
Not everybody has the chance to go to school. Our elders continually remind us of this. We frequently
overlook how fortunate we are to be able to go to school and choose the course of our choosing.
In fact, going to school is something that some people can only imagine. Be thankful if you are among those
who have the good fortune to be able to go to school. You’ll soon see that all of your hard work has paid off.
Do you rush out the door when your alarm goes off to get to school, meet your pals, and end the day exhausted but happy?
That happened in the past.
A small clip of a flash mob performance by Stillwater High School graduates
was uploaded to YouTube by user Baileynett. The video became popular, and it has now received over 2 million views.
The opening scene of the movie features one of the children, who appears to have won an award, concluding
his remarks by saying, ‘Tonight is our night,’ before mentioning the song ‘Don’t Stop Believin.’
Just then, the music started. The song is ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey.
You’re mistaken if you think the ceremony will end soon; we can hear everyone cheering. For these graduates, it’s only the beginning of something fun and memorable.
One graduate lip-syncs the song’s first lyric, followed by another student, and so on. Everyone soon starts singing, cheering, and celebrating their well-earned victory.
Some commencement ceremonies would end with somber music. Instead, this ensemble chose a catchy, meaningful, and lovely song.
It’s a novel method to consider the previous years’ toilsome job, sleepless nights, wonderful travels, first love, and myriad other experiences.
Yes, those memories will stick with us for the rest of our lives in addition to the lessons we learnt.
As soon as the graduation song starts to play, all of these memories will suddenly come flooding back, and you’ll start crying.
The bulk of the children are already crying as they sing the song’s emotional lyrics, yet they are all singing and cheering at the same time.
Don’t lose heart. ‘Hold onto that feeling.’
We enjoyed the way they sung along as they marched back and forth and with the school teachers.
Of course, the graduation ceremony’s high point was when the graduates hugged one another. They are all happy to have finished their education.
All of these young people are eager for the upcoming chapter. While some of these children will go to college together, some won’t. However, their shared memories and love will always exist.
Do you remember when you graduated from high school? What music did your team decide to use? Which memory from high school stands out to you the most?
