People think that the Graduation Ceremony is a happy time and alot of times it is, but not always. Take mine for instance. It all started when I first woke up on the morning. My parents kept telling me to wash my hair and get dressed for a brunch they were allowing me to go to over at a friend's house. I was too tired to know what I was supposed to do at that time. >.> I tried to go back to sleep, but the TV was so loud that I couldnt. T.T

I finally got up and did everything I was supposed to do and my dad drived me over to my friend's and dropped me off. I was greeted by two friends and the host's parents and their corgi, Bailey. The dog licked my toes, so that part wasnt bad. My friends and I talked to each other and to the host's relatives. The grandad has a memory problem, so I had to repeat myself constantly; lucky for me that I have experience in this area. I overlooked it. It wasnt his fault anyway. ^^

My dad picked me up at noon and I went home change into my dress and cap and gown. Included with some other assessories was a black callar like choker, it meant alot to me to wear it. I treasured it like no other. I wore it to my Graduation Ceremony.

Before the Graduation Ceremony even began, we were herded into a large room for inpection. We had to stand in that room for god knows how long. >.> I kept myself busy by talking to my friends. We all cheered when it was time to leave the room; we were sick of being in it. >.>

We formed two lines and proceeded to go where we had be instructed to go during Practice. We had to stand in line for for what seemed to be a long while. When the music started to play, a few of us joked about it being the Star Wars Theme; I wish it had been. T_T >.>

We were on the move once more, we stepped down the long staircase and proceeded to our seats. Various people spoke and the choir sang a version of 'Go The Distance' from the disney movie Hercules; they rearranged a few of the lyrics.

There was a huge crowd tthere with people cheering, screaming, and blowing air-horns. It was completing embarrassing and it made the adults look like children. Speaking of which, there was plenty of them as well there. They should have been at a babysitter's or a day-care. >.>

All was fine (well almost ok) up until it was time to stand up to throw our caps, Before then, I had tak off my choker before I was feeling sick. The place where the Graduation Ceremony was being held was humid and there was no way I could get up to get some water; I was tired too and had to keep myself from dozing off. I threw my cap into the air, but not as high as the others. I had alot of things in my right hand and I kept dropping them.

When we went behind the stage to turn in our gowns, I had everything, including my choker, in my right hand. Once I recieved mty dopolma, I proceeded to head out to the room where we were first herded into while speaking with a friend. I still had my choker too.

Once both my friend and I were back in the large room, we both looked for our parents and relatives. I followed him for abit, figuring it couldnt hurt. It wasnt long before we both found who we were looking for. I went over to my parents and gave my mom my stuff since my grandma wanted to take some pictures. I hugged my dad before hand and I STILL had my choker.

After taking pictures of both my friends and me, something told me to check and see if my choker was still there. It wasnt. I searched the entire room and the area which the Graduation Ceremony had taken place. I was VERY upset that I couldnt find it. I asked a few members of the Staff to help me find it. I cant do anything more until they call me, if they do. I'm supposed to call the Box Office to find out if they have it in the Lost and Found.

I'm so upset right now that I've gone mute and I'm not eating as much as I should. That choker means the world to me and I cant thing of what I would do without it. It doesnt have much value money wise, but it has plenty of sentimental value. I just want it back in my hands, safe and sound.
