I'm with Iowa on this one. Finishing high school did not feel like a huge accomplishment to me. I was bored out of my mind through most of high school and aside from a few close friends could care less about the rest of the student body. Finishing my BSc. however was pretty awesome. The day of convocation was the last time I would see many of the people from my classes before we all went off in different directions. I really feel like high school didn't do much to shape me as a person but university helped me grow up and make my own mark in the world.
People can bad-mouth a university education all they want but for me I think it was the only solution. Not one regret. . . maybe that's why I'm still at university
.
Back on focus though. I would really recommend going to your convocation. Yes it will be long and yes it will be boring but think of it as another chapter ending in your life while another begins. Like others have said you may never get another opportunity like this.
Edit: I just remembered that I never actually got a high school diploma either. I know I had all the requirements for entrance to university but as to a paper diploma nothing to be found . . . ah well.
