<p>Is anyone here going to be participating in their community college graduation? I thought about it for awhile, but I ultimately decided I would probably just rather wait and walk from UCLA. Any thoughts? :)</p>

<p>I'm not.. Since I'm only certified for IGETC, the school won't let me..</p>

<p>Whatever.. I wouldn't go anyway.</p>

<p>I went to mine last year. My family guilted me into it. It wasn't so bad. It was fairly short at least. I think the whole thing lasted less than 2 hours. And I even bought the nifty PTK medallion (I'm so cheesy - but I never got to wear any honors for my H.S. graduation)</p>

<p>I skipped high school graduation, why would I not skip this piecemeal affair?</p>

<p>Logos> No H.S. graduation? That is hardcore. I would agree about cc graduation. I would, however, recommend it if your family really wants to see you walk. But sitting in the sun listening to local politicians give commencement speeches isn't the most glorious way to spend a summer afternoon.</p>

<p>that is hardcore Logos. I commend you.</p>

<p>i went to mine, but did not buy the ptk stuff.... i'm glad i went... cc may not have been paradise, but it did save me $60K+ and it landed me into ucb</p>

<p>I don't really care about it, but my mom wanted me to walk so I decided a while ago that I would do it. My graduation is actually later today. Works for me, though...I get 2 dinners and presents out of it and I only spent $30 on my cap and gown...so whatever...</p>

<p>Indeed. The last thing I wanted to do was sit there listening to these self-serving folk, and three valedictorians. bbooorrriinnngg</p>

<p>My main reason for not going though is for the same reason as KitKat...I want my UC Berkeley graduation to be that much sweeter.</p>

<p>Logos, I assume you also skipped high school prom?</p>

<p>Plus I feel kinda weird participating in a graduation when all we're essentially doing is transferring, but to each their own. :)</p>

<p>My friends got to graduate. I was only certified for IGETC so I didn't get to go to the graduation. Oh well. At least I will be at Santa Barbara in the fall!</p>
