“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”
—B.B. King
Not all of us have the privilege to go to school. It’s something that our elders tell us all the time. Sometimes, we fail to see how fortunate we are if we can go to school and choose the course we want.
The reality is, some people can only dream of going to school.
So, if you are one of those people who can go to school, appreciate it. All your hard work will pay off, and soon, you will realize this.
The alarm goes off, and you rush to go to school, and you meet your friends, and you end the day exhausted but fulfilled?
Those were the good old days.
YouTube user baileynett posted a short video of a flash mob performance from the graduates of Stillwater High school. You’ve guessed it, the video went viral and today, it has more than 2 million views.
The video starts as one of the students, who seem to have honors, finishes his speech by saying that “tonight is our night,” when then mentions the song “Don’t stop believin.”
Just then, we hear the song play. It’s none other than Journey’s “Don’t stop Believin.” We also hear everyone cheer, but if you think that the ceremony will end soon, then you’re wrong.
It’s just the start of something memorable and fun for these graduates.
One graduate stands up and lip-syncs the first line of the song, and then another student stands up and then another. Soon, all of them are cheering, singing, and celebrating their hard-earned victory.
Some graduation ceremonies would end with songs that would make you cry. But this batch chose a catchy, meaningful, and beautiful song instead. It’s a new approach to remember the past years of hard work, sleepless nights, fun adventures, first love, and so much more.
Yes, aside from the lessons that we have learned, those memories will remain with us for life. As soon as the graduation song plays, all these memories will come back, and you will just find yourself crying.
All of these students are singing and clapping, but most of them are already teary-eyed as they sing the meaningful lyrics of the song.
“Don’t stop believin’ Hold on to that feeling”
We love how they marched back and forth and how the school faculty joined them with their song.
Of course, the highlight of the event was when the graduates hugged each other. All of them are thankful that they have graduated.
All of these kids are hopeful for the new chapter that they will face. Some of these kids will go to college together, and some of them will part ways. But the memories and the love that they have for each other will remain.
Do you still remember your graduation? What was the song that your batch chose? What’s the most memorable high school memory that you can remember?
They certainly created a moment they will never forget, watch below!
