Graduation is about to hit, and it has all the 2012 seniors jumping with joy, to be able to get into the real world and show everyone they can do it.

“I’m really excited to go out on my own. I have been waiting for this for a really long time,” said senior Haley Boatright.

It’s the time where everyone has been accepted into the college that they have always dreamed of. Others makes plans to continue their education by learning a new skill.

“I am going to UTI Performance motors and then open a shop with Kendall Price,” said Quinn Joyce.

Parents also prepare themselves for the inevitable leaving of the nest.

“My mom really isn’t ready for me to go at all, but they want what’s good for me,” said Boatright. “But they both are really happy and excited for me!”

The whole college experience is meeting new people, learning how to live on your own, and keeping up with school and a job.

“I’m excited to meet new people and for the experience of change,” said Joyce.
