Ailsa, on Where’s My Backpack, is asking for something fresh – how about some fresh students from yesterday? The day you leave school, in Sweden you are nineteen, is one of the greatest days to remember. The world is open – new and fresh. Enjoy their happiness!

Thank you!
Is it traditional for the female graduating students to wear white? Our students leave school earlier, at about 17 or 18. Some leave even earlier. 😦
Yes – always white. And the guys should wear black and white. Don’t you have a special colour as a tradition?
Not that I know of. Most schools here require students to wear school uniform, and there really isn’t a formal graduation day. There are end of year prize givings and a leavers’ farewell dinner/ball but I have not seen anything like your Swedish celebrations or the US type graduations. Perhaps we should change our traditions.
Traditions are important, I think. I guess you do to. Unless something feels very wrong, I do not think you should change old traditions! But, if there are no real traditions…maybe you might adopt what you feel would be nice.
Yes, I think we could do more in the way of traditions re school. But I guess they take time to develop.
Very refreshing and beautiful post! You’ve captured the wonderful moments.
Thank you, Amy! This is always a glorious day – but a bit of sadness too.
Whole world at their feet – what a beautiful moment! 🙂
It is! And I always cry a bit…
