Our Unforgettable Graduation Ceremony

“And then came the pinnacle of our High School journey – the Graduation Ceremony. As we stepped onto the stage, clad in our caps and gowns, we were enveloped by a wave of strong emotions. We are proud of our accomplishments, grateful for the dedicated support of our teachers, and feel a twinge of sadness as we say goodbye to our beloved school.” – Tran Khanh Linh, an alumni student of Class 2022 – 2023, shared.

From exciting lessons and memorable field trips to dynamic sports competitions and vibrant art performances, each moment spent with teachers and friends became a part of the beautiful youth of each alumni student. When remembering his graduation, Nguyen Ta Thai Son, an alumni student of Class 2021 – 2022, said: “The Graduation Ceremony was wonderful. The performances, the speeches of teachers and friends, and the moments of reflection on the academic year have all created an emotional and meaningful Graduation Ceremony. Besides, the impression that we cannot forget is the mixed feelings of joy and sadness that we felt when we gave each other warm hugs and sincere congratulations. This ceremony was not only a milestone that marked the end of our learning years and memorable experiences at PennSchool but also a sign of maturity ready to enter the next journey of life.”

When students officially graduate, the experiences with friends and teachers will only be memories, but they are the most beautiful memories, reminding them of a brilliant youth at PennSchool. Khanh Linh recalled the moments before graduation and shared: “Those final days of Grade 12 have been a tapestry woven with threads of memories, waiting for love, and bittersweet farewells. Through PennSchool’s lessons and experiential activities, our friendships blossomed and our bonds deepened. Every corner of the classroom echoed whispers of shared laughter during lessons and joyful moments of celebration when we won challenges and competitions both within the school and internationally. As we approached the culmination of our High School journey, a palpable sense of both excitement and nostalgia filled the hearts of each of us. The most memorable moments of those final days in the academic year were etched in the fabric of time and became the most beautiful memories.” Khanh Linh also expressed her gratitude to the teachers for guiding them with wisdom and patience. Now, even though they have graduated, they remain in touch with one another, connecting with their teachers and occasionally having impromptu get-togethers. Each meeting was an opportunity for alumni students to reminisce about meaningful experiences and share their journey in achieving their dreams.

“We may have said goodbye to our classmates, friends, and teachers, but the knowledge and skills we have acquired will continue to guide us on our journey of learning and conquering our dreams. As we threw off our graduation caps to celebrate, we felt a sense of excitement and anticipation for the adventure that lies ahead.” – Thai Son shared as he expressed his excitement about the graduation. With solid groundwork, PennSchool believes that the students are equipped with the perfect preparation to help them stay confident and keep striving for a bright future. Recalling the image of the students going up on stage to receive their diplomas, surely the teachers as well as the parents are still happy and proud to witness the students grow up, mature, and succeed in their educational path.

PennSchool greatly appreciates and sincerely thanks graduates for their heartfelt words of gratitude as they constantly strive to persevere in writing their dreams. The School hopes that somewhere in their hearts, the graduates will always remember a united and strong PennSchool community as one of the most beautiful memories of youth.
