Chapter 34: Graduation

The final graduation exams are getting closer and closer, and all of our courses have been completed. The rest of the time is basically doing exam papers and revision. The homeroom teacher who had been with us for three or four years also became more talkative when we were about to graduate.

He told us a lot about his school days and told us. Like us, he went to elementary school and then junior high school, then high school and college. But what he misses most is the two stages of elementary school and junior high school. He said. Because at that time, he was not only young but also innocent, and he didn't know what pressure was. The course of those two stages was also simple, and there was no pressure at all for him. But after high school, it's different, and every day is faced with a mountain of homework and textbooks. And the things he learned are getting more and more profound, so that he can't scratch his head all the time. However, even so, he did not give up and persevered. Eventually became our teacher.

"Perhaps I shouldn't say these things to you, because you are too young. It may not be comprehensible yet, but it won't be long before you will understand what I am saying to you here now, and you will all meet in the future. I tell you this in the hope that you are ready before your future comes. You won't be caught off guard or give up too soon......"

The teacher talked to us a lot about that class, what I understood and what I didn't. I remember it all, even though I don't know what the future holds. But I know that the days will only get better. I will grow up slowly and then take over the burden from my father's shoulders. I will hold up a piece of heaven for him, and I will hold up an umbrella for him. I will one day be as strong as he is, hold back tears like he did, and protect him as he protected me.

This thought grew stronger in the last two weeks. I didn't know until the end that my heart didn't know when it had been, and it had grown so old.

Two weeks later, we were led by our teacher to the town to take our graduation exams. I remember very well that I was very calm that day, and I didn't even feel any nervousness. It wasn't until I finally handed in all the papers that I found out that I had finished the exam, and then, I graduated like this.

After returning to school, the teacher told us that there were no report cards and no summer homework this year. Just told us that around August, our placement notice would come down. When the time comes, the school will send a notice to everyone's home.

"This goodbye is really goodbye, all of you will leave this school, and maybe meet again on the road or somewhere in the future. Don't pretend you don't know me when the time comes......" Teacher Liu said, and everyone in the class said no. "I can only participate in your life here, and there will be more people who will lead the way for you in the future. But the leader is only the leader after all, and it is up to you how you go. I know you must be thinking that I talk a bit too much nonsense, but in the end, please bear with me! Because in the future, even if you want to hear me, I won't say it......"

The teacher really talked a lot that day, and it was already a little faster when we got back to school in the car, and when we finally got home, it was almost three o'clock.

I think it's really sad to separate, and the students who have been with me for three or four years are about to leave in the blink of an eye. There's a chance we won't see each other again, and I think anyone will be a little unbearable. And what do we think about separation at that time? It's definitely not the same as the teacher. He really couldn't bear us, and the most important thing in our hearts was to hurry up and go to the new school. To meet those new friends, new environments. Instead of nostalgia for this old place that has long been bored.
