Graduation.  Ah…the word every high school student yearns to hear by the time they become a senior.  While graduation is a time of sadness, it is also a time of celebration.  These students are able to rejoice in the fact that they are considered “adults” in this big, scary world that life has to offer.  Though each senior has a different story, they all have a legacy that will be left behind.
