<p>I’m going to be graduating high school on wednesday, and I’m really nervous. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I’m scared that I’ll trip when going up to receive my diploma. I am only 4’8 so I’m wearing 5 inch wedges. I have been wearing them for a few days to get used to them though. </p></li>
<li><p>I’m worried that my cap will fall off. After you receive your diploma, you shake the principals hand, but if you know him personally, like I do, you hug him. </p></li>
<li><p>I’m worried that I don’t know when to start walking to get my diploma when they call my name. Do I start walking as they say my name? Or after they say my name?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Wow. Don’t be so nervous, get up, have fun. If you stumble, laugh, it honestly does not matter. At my brother’s graduation the other day a LOT of people lost their hats while on stage. All they did was grab it and go. No big deal. Trust me.</p>
<p>Unless your last name is Aardvark, you’ll know what to do by observing other people. You’re probably not the only one who’s nervous about this. Have fun, and congratulations.</p>
<p>I graduate on Wednesday, as well. I’m wearing flats, so the stumbling on heels thing won’t be a problem. And if my cap falls, then cool. I’ll just throw it at this one ***** that I really dislike and all will be good.</p>
<p>I wish you luck, worried one.</p>
<p>I wore 4 inch heels, as did many girls. No one tripped. It’s rare, so it probably won’t happen to you.</p>
<p>Most caps have elastic nowadays, keeping them on. If yours doesn’t, hairpins are a girl’s best friend.</p>
<p>In most cases, you will be prompted to walk. It’s also pretty easy since there are people doing it right directly in front of you.</p>
