~This is Dedicated to 2020 Graduates~

Hey guys. So most of you know that May 22nd, Class of 2020 graduates were to have a graduation ceremony. Some of us have to wait until a later date (school systems decisions) because of the pandemic that has hit this world hard.

Anyway I am one of those graduates. My friends and I graduate June 19th.

I have asked two of my senior friends to share their favorite memory from high school. I will share mine as well.

Also when the characters start singing the song, you can choose whichever video. The first video is of OneRepublic singing. The second video is of a choir singing the same song. The two versions may have a small difference that I didn't catch.

~Favorite Memories of Three 2020 Graduates~

"My favorite memory is spending time with the one I love at Six Flags for a band trip. We both rode rides we weren't going to alone, and bought capes to commemorate the occasion" - sarah450_1 2016-2017 Freshman year

"I guess when my English class was watching a movie, and the teacher picked me to have control over the computer while she graded papers. And I got to sit in her wheely chair through out the whole movie lol. That's all I can really think of" - KalieKaykay 2019-2020 Senior year

"The band went on a trip to Disney World in Florida as the every 2 years trip. My mom was my chaperone along with a few other friends. We got to meet Chewbacca. My mom and I stood on each side of him for a picture. His huge hands on our shoulders. You couldn't tell what was his hand or what was my hair! Hair is same color as his fur!" -Me Sophomore year 2017-2018

~End of Memories~

Anyone who is a 2020 Graduate like us and want to share your favorite memory from high school (even college!), please comment below.

And if anyone who has already graduated has some advice for 2020 graduates and future graduates, comment below. I'm sure many of us would appreciate it!! (I sure would 😂)

***This was inspired by my choir director. In our case, there were 6 seniors and 3 juniors who were going to sing this song in our concert (and possibly graduation). We never got to start on the song before school was let out for the virus***

~Start Music~

Aqua, Terra, Naminé, Riku, Xion, Roxas, Kairi, and Sora stood on the stage in front of all their friends and families in a football stadium. The eights students were singing a song for the Class of 2020.

Aqua, Terra, and Riku were all graduating that night. Naminé, Xion, Roxas, Kairi, and Sora were asked by their choir director to sing with the three seniors. The music starts and the girls starts singing.

Aqua, Naminé, Xion, Kairi

Hope when you take that jump
You don't feel the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall

Terra, Riku, Roxas, Sora

Hope when the crowd screams out
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Aqua, Naminé, Xion, Kairi

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have

Terra, Riku, Roxas, Sora

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You'll say

All

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Aqua, Naminé, Xion, Kairi

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup

Terra, Riku, Roxas, Sora

I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

All

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Whooaaaaah
Whooaaaaah
Whooaaaaah
Oooooooh
Oooooooh

With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Whooaaaaah
Whooaaaaah
I swear I lived
Whooaaaaah
Oooooooh
Oooooooh

      As the music faded along with the students voices, the audience started cheering and clapping. The friends hugged before they went back to their seats. Aqua, Terra, and Riku were called to get their diplomas. They waved at their friends in the stands with huge smiles. 

     At the end of the ceremony, the eight friends met up on the field and took pictures together. Naminé, Xion, Roxas, Kairi, and Sora all graduate the following year of 2021. The now graduated seniors went to Project Graduation before going home. The next day a graduation party took place.
