<p>In my group of friends the high school graduation is celebrated more. Most of our kids go far away to college and often don’t “come home” after college graduation. None of us send cards, etc announcing college graduations. For us, high school it’s a fun time to get together and talk about how fast the kids have grown up…the kids are at the other end of the yard talking about how soon they will be “getting out from under our thumbs.”</p>
