Graduating Online
Mary Okorie
This year graduation is going to seem weird and different from the rest of past graduations because of Covid-19 and the restrictions that come with it. Students graduating in the coming year must have been looking forward to an in-person graduation ceremony, spending their last day in school with their classmates while taking pictures to make memories. It is quite sad that those dreams might have been shattered and now graduating ceremony is online where everyone is distanced. Some graduating students might not even be eager to attend anymore. Even with all that is going on, our health should be our top priority and students have to understand that doing the graduation ceremony online is the best way to ensure social distancing and keep everyone safe. Graduating students should try their best to attend as this might be their last graduation. They can also see their fellow classmates online and try to connect with them.
Graduating online might not be the best graduation ceremony but the students have to understand why it is important for graduation to be online and try their best to make good use of the ceremony. Let us all try to look at the good sides of things and always remain positive.
