If your were my kid I would have completely embarrassed you on Graduation day..screaming your name and jumping up like a crazy person!
My kids act like they don't like it but someday they will remember it.
I'm so very sorry you didn't get to experience that I didn't either.
I guess the best thing we can do is now is never allow our kids to feel the way we did..make it big and loud and live vicariously through them while watching them enjoy or be annoyed by us.
As Oprah says...When you know better, you do better.
