I don't have any ideas about avoid the graduation ceremony before! But I really respect your decision.

 

In my own idea, I know that my parents always work hard for supporting my study- the tuition fees, the extra classes charge, the examination fee and the plane ticket to have an exam in another provinces. If I calculate the money that I used in only 3 years in high school to entrance to the university, it's almost 80,000 THB!!! yes, it's a very large amount but my parents can do it for me. So I think the graduation ceremony is the best way that they can see the education results of their children that they support- they are deserved to get it!

 

However, if I don't consider about the parents factor, I still want to be part of the ceremony. Last year at the graduation ceremony in my university I felt that there were lots of happiness atmosphere in that area. I saw many people smiled and laughed together so I felt happy and wanted to be in that mood when it's my turn!

Hi, Jie. How are you? Did chat each other for a while. I do understand your thought and I have no any comment that I do agree or not agree because when I was a university student before I graduated I was thinking about won't join a graduation ceremony but the person that can change my mind was my parent ( they didn't force me or disagree with me but I could felt their feeling at that time). On my graduated ceremony ( bachelor degree ) even I needs to woke up 2 am to did make up and set my hair also needs to wear high - heels and the weather was very hot but I didn't feel tired because of I could took a photo with my parent and can saw their smile as very happy and really appreciated with one of their daughter. :) its one of my great memory in my life.

Thank Edriany! That's an interesting decision. I think in England it is a good chance for us to say thank you to our parents for supporting us (emotionally and financially) throughout our studies. If your parents are happy for you to celebrate or remember this achievement in some other way then that's cool!
