: My high school senior made a mistake, and the consequence is that, though he will get a diploma, he cannot participate in any senior activities — including attending graduation and walking across the stage.I have already bought graduation announcements, and they all have the date and time for the ceremony. I can’t mail them now, I guess????
I generally decline invitations to any such events, but this year I have a grandniece “graduating” who lives in the same town I do. Think of the future, when you attend the ceremony at which she receives her Ph.D. in this field. Then you will not have to worry about rolling your eyes, but about shedding a proud tear.: We have, as close friends, two families in which the husbands — previously powerful, with highly respected jobs — have become disabled with dementia.
