Back in June I posted pictures of Cindy's graduation ceremony at the Career and Technical center. This is the graduation ceremony where Cindy decided to wear her 2008 sun glasses through the whole ceremony. ( even when she accepted her diploma )As I stated before Cindy got mixed reactions. The lady who was announcing names found them so funny that she had to take a moment to laugh before she announced Cindy. The Superintendent didn't look too happy when Cindy shook her hand wearing them. Cindy's teacher told us that she had mixed feelings but respected that Cindy has always been a unique individual who always expresses herself in creative ways. Cindy's peers seemed to have the same spectrum of mixed reactions. Her best friend thought it was a fun idea but declined a second pair of glasses that Cindy offered. Some classmates were seen laughing and loving the idea where others were not thrilled even to the point of making self righteous comments. ( We found it funny that the judgemental remarks were made by people who lived in Glass houses ,so to say ,and really shouldn't have even picked up a stone let alone threw it)The best comment , however came from a close friend who Cindy has been known to date :-) This friend did not make the ceremony as he was taking his college final and though he had been told of the events didn't say too much until he was over the other night and watched the video. "Oh my " was his response.Looking at Mike and I , he went on " My parents would have been upset if I would have done something like that " I seen his point, but like I said before, This was the secondary graduation ceremony and though the first one, not the main one, so why not have some respectable fun ?
Anyway, in today's mail there was the career and technical Center's quarterly news letter. I was surprised to get it as I felt that since Cindy graduated, her name would have been wiped out of their system. It turns out that this will probably be our last but this was the Graduation edition.It listed scholarship winners and the such. I almost put it in the recycle pile when I noticed the front page photo collage. And guess who is in it on the far left side, second picture down but Cindy in her cap , gown , and glasses.I guess that in the end the school board found it kinda cute and an asset for attracting future students by saying " see we have fun here !" Now all of the self righteous crowd can have their own picture of Cindy wearing her glasses !
