Despite months of anticipation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes when I slowly stepped into my Alma Mater on high school graduation day.

盡管有數月的預測，但是那一天對我的沖擊是任何東西都無法事先準備好的。當我在高中畢業的那一天慢慢走進了我的母校時，淚水不由自主地涌上我的眼睛。

This was not what I had assumed before.

這不是之前我一直以為的。
I was over whelmed by a rush of sadness, not excitement. Perhaps this day was the last time I saw my old school, which had been my devoted companion for three years.

我被一陣突如其來的悲傷，不興奮淹沒了。也許這是我最后一次見到無怨無悔的陪伴了我三年的老學校了。
I looked around, attempting to carry everything into my mind.

我看了看四周，試圖把所有的東西都記在腦海里。
The quiet trail, decorated with spotted sunlight shadows casting through the spaces between the leaves, the refreshing sweet diffused in the air, the brilliant flowers, the chirping crickets, and the vivid green grass! All the things I will miss!

通過葉子之間的空隙陽光斑斕的照在安靜的小路上，空氣中彌漫著清新甜美，艷麗的花朵，蟬鳴，以及栩栩如生的綠草！我會想念所有的這些東西的！

As if in a daze, I received my diploma from the headmaster.As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand new life.

好像在發呆，我從校長那里拿到了我的文憑。當我伸出我的手時，我知道我得到的不僅僅是一張紙，而是一個全新的生活。
Exciting as the prospect of a new life seemed, it wasn't easy saying goodbye to the old one, the familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would even miss that mathematics class I wasn't particularly fond of and the long commute each day that I abhorred. Good or bad, it was what I knew. There had been sunshines and rains, laughers and tears, and they still existed in every corner I could see. From that day on, I became a grown up, with all the bitter and sweet memories behind.

新的生活的前景似乎是如此的令人興奮，對過去,對熟悉的面孔，對熟悉的日常生活說再見并不容易。我甚至會想念我不是很喜歡的數學課和我憎恨的考勤。好的、壞的都是我所知道的。陽光和雨水，歡笑和眼淚，他們仍然存在我可以看到的每一個角落。從那天起，伴隨著所有痛苦的和甜蜜的回憶，我長大了。
