Wow, I'm sorry but that was an unneccessary comment on your part. Teachers I have heard (including the principal) say that the graduation is, in fact, more for your parents and grandparents. I don't think the person that made this remark was trying to be rude or anything, he/she was probably just trying to make a comment maybe to add some humor. I have no clue who either you you guys are, and it really doesn't matter, but I don't appreciate you blindly telling someone he/she is a low life. Didn't mean for this to come out as a debate or anything, just stating my opinion. Let's keep in a positive manner about the upcoming week.
Oh, I also thought more about the graduation thing. In Tullahoma, we have this sort of religious graduation (not where you get your diplomas or anything, but you wear your cap and gown) that I guess a lot of the atheletes will attend as oppossed to graduation Friday night. Maybe, as a graduating student, request some type of pre-graduation ceremony that ALL students could attend. Just a thought.
