My graduation in elementary school was considered to be the most tearful yet heartwarming graduation ceremonies that ever happened for our school. It happened when we were all lined up at the stage, waiting to be called and stepped forward to wait for our parents to give us our medals and ribbons. When we were waiting in line, we all noticed that one of our classmate's parents weren't there yet. It was clear to us that she was doing her best not to cry. Her name was almost to be called and her parents weren't there yet. We, as her classmates for 6 years, comforted here. We told her that her parents were surely to come. Everyone witnessed what happened and couldn't believe how we all reacted to comfort her. By the time her name was called, it was also the time when her parents finally arrived. She then cried and hugged her parents. Everyone was in tears then, and all of us were relieved and happy for the outcome. It was truly a tearful and heartwarming elementary graduation.

It was actually. Even the teachers, other parents and guests got tearful with what happened. My mother even said that, that was the greatest moment she ever witnessed in any graduation. She couldn't believe the bond that existed between all of us and all of the other parents and teachers.

It was. We'd have our hearts broken if they didn't come at all.
