Graduation

Graduation… This is supposed to be a Happy Time. But for some it is just the opposite. People do not realize that when speeches are made  During graduation it may hurt others. I went to a graduation and in the front row Was a girl of nineteen?         To her it was the worst day of her life.         Everyone is having fun, and laughing. Yet she is bound to a wheelchair. Though you think to yourself that   It shouldn’t make her unhappy. Just because of being bound to a chair. The fact is that her family had not shown up. To what is lead to be the most important day for a teen? She tried hard to hold back her tears. But she couldn’t! Everyone looked and stared. Though no one seemed to care. That was not the case though. She had some friends who cared greatly. They tried hard to cheer her up. Nothing seemed to work. Until one of her friends told her… Do you think God would want you to be sad today? She looked up and smiled. You’re right, My family is already here!
