Here in Hawaii, high school graduation is a celebration unlike any other: bigger than the Super Bowl and even bigger than New Year’s. Neighborhoods shut down, fireworks blast into the air and families gather for an islandwide party where everyone is invited.
Graduating high school is so much more than dressing up in a cap and gown to walk across a stage to wave to your family and friends in the audience. It’s a culmination of hard work that showcases Hawaii’s young and talented keiki wrapping up something from start to finish.
Many consider high school graduation to be the beginning on adulthood. If you’re graduating soon, never mind trying to get into the workforce, or upcoming years in college; just take a moment to reflect on what you’ve accomplished.
