The prom / myLot

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.

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.

Here we can only apply after finish high school, usually in the beginning of July and by the end of August we will know which university accepted us.

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