Today is my son's high school graduation ball. His classes end in June and he'll be applying to university. He's thinking of applying for engineering, but I don't know which field yet because he hasn't told me. This ball represents the end of a stage, it's an important milestone in his life.
We have to be ready at 7 pm and I still have to do my hair. Later I will add a photo here.
The weather is good, not too hot and not cold, just hope it won't rain.

I recall the day ladies would put a head scarf thing and not do the hair lol
If you had been going to the prom I could understand it.

Congratulations to him! Graduating high school is a big step in everybody's life and I'm glad he's made it! I hope he enjoys the graduation ball.
In the US, we apply in the fall of our Senior year in high school and are accepted into a college by the time we graduate high school, assuming we still have the GPA to make the college specs.

@nela13 That's understandable. You never know when something could go wrong in the last quarter of the year in High School.
