Graduation Day!

One of these special needs people graduated today. Can you guess which one?

(Perhaps my worst picture ever!)



Japanese Junior High graduations are a big deal, the kids are together from elementary school until now, but in high school, they go their seperate ways. So today was the graduation ceremony. Lots of tears were shed! Anyway, the Japanese know how to do a ceremony. (Men in suits come to our Ultimate frisbee tournaments for opening and closing ceremonies...it's insane!)

The BEST thing is walk together out of the school for the last time as their parents and teachers form a receiving line and say their goodbyes. It's a ton of fun joking around and wishing them luck.

Anyway...here are my pics from the day. As always, click the pic to enlarge.



These are two of the best students at my school Really good kids. The boy on my left was the student council president.


These girls spoke at the graduation and did a good job. This pic was taken before the ceremony.






The teachers were looking hot in their kimonos. Very dressy occasion...the principal even wore tails.
