At my son’s university, the all-university graduation and individual college get-your-diploma-and-get-your-name called ceremonies were held on two successive days.

Even though his school was only an hour from our home, I could not attend both ceremonies because I had started a new job only a month earlier, and I only had enough vacation hours coming to me to attend one of the two events.

He and I decided I should attend the individual college event. It was more personal and meaningful.
