Lei festivities
Graduation parties are really big in the North. They are fun and people have such a great time. It is also a time where you can really rack in on some monetary gifts. They are not so big in the South and monetary gifts are very modest. My brother and sister and I both had large graduation parties and we party hopped from one friend's to the next. The graduation ceremony was held outside and it was a humid, hot and long. I graduated 20 years ago. Many of my teachers were there and I got to introduce my family to them. That was a nice treat. Many of the Memorial scholarships were also given in memory by teachers I had. It brought back many happy times but I wouldn't go back and I wouldn't change anything either.
