A graduation ceremony
On Wednesday, May 18th, 2008, I attended my sister’s graduation ceremony, which is a fantastic activity in the University of Toronto. I arrived there with my sister at 2:00. Then, she picked up her graduation gown with her friends, and I waited for them outside of the building. There were many people who were carrying flowers standing around me; I thought that they must have been the graduates’ family or friends. At 2:20pm people started to enter the Convocation Hall. Firstly, the graduates walked in a line to enter the Convocation Hall from the main entrance. Then other people who were invited by the graduates entered the Convocation Hall by the side entrance with tickets. The Convocation Hall totally has three floors, and it looks like a huge birdcage. The roof of the Convocation Hall, which was gilded and painted, made the Convocation Hall look luxurious and magnificent.
The graduation ceremony began with the Canadian national anthem at 2:30 pm, and everyone was standing in front of their seats. Then, the chancellor of the U of T, who is around 40 years old, delivered the opening address and congratulated those students who graduated from University of Toronto. The people who were sitting under the platform roared with approval and clapped, and everybody looked very happy and excited. After that, several professors also made speeches and congratulated the graduates. At last, the most important and exciting thing was that the professors awarded the graduates diplomas. During that time, most people took pictures for their family members or friends. Of course, I took lots of pictures for my sister, and I also shot a video for her because I thought that time was very significant and unforgettable for her.
That was the first time I attended a graduation ceremony, and I felt very excited. I was very glad and proud that my sister could successfully get a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto in three years. I will definitely study harder in the future, and I hope I can get the same honours as she has gotten.
