Le Convocation
The day had finally dawned. Hours of travel over the Atlantic Ocean had paid off. There was excitement in the air as much as pride. I was thrilled to see my elder sis take on the world in the black gown that held all her wisdom.
The ceremony commenced with a band blowing trumpets, most of them in their second innings of life. It was mesmerizing to see the pepper-grey haired generation play the background score of the popular game series Game of Thrones and a rock number such as Shipping out to Boston. The entire hall had a beautiful ambience to it, which cheered the Class of 2014 as they entered the hall in a chirpy procession.
The key note speaker delivered an impressive speech talking volumes of the University and the opportunities it has to offer. It made me feel proq of my sister more than ever.
She walked up on the stage with her head held high and convinction. It gave me immense pleasure to pose next to the new Virginia University graduate.
