We are all relieved that my college senior’s live graduation is postponed rather than cancelled, with a virtual event to confer degrees in May. For him, the opportunity to spend time with his friends and classmates is what mattered. For us, the opportunity to celebrate with his friends and their families is what mattered. High school graduation seemed a lot more about one-upmanship, who had more honors cords, awards, etc. College seems more about marking the end of an era for the students as they are heading off to so many different things (and uncertainties).
