We had our graduation ceremony this week at School. It was held in our Restaurant at School and we were all in our chefs uniforms and the hospitality and hospitality business management students were in Grad gowns
We were all given numbers and had to enter and exit the restaurant in numerical order I was number 34, It was quite emotional for me ….. coming to the end of this chapter of all my hard work over the past year. As we walked in to the Restaurant, everybody was standing, all the staff, family and freinds, VIPS which included the Mayor and they were clapping us in, that made me just want to cry.
We had speeches and a power point display was shown about the school which also made me bubble up a wee bit. There was a picture of our class in the display, then a picture of a freind of mine competing in a competition and then there on the screen was a great shot of myself with my medal and a blurb about winning big at the competitions.
We then proceeded out the way we came in and through another entrance to receive our certificates, and Justin the announcer was just calling out each persons name, when it came to me he made a little speech about me, saying i was one of the celebrities of the school and a great student etc, which just took my breath away and made my very big grin on my face even bigger.
When all the formal stuff was done we had some great entertainment, with one of the students and her freind playing the most beautiful music on a piano and a cello and one of our tutors dressing up in all different kinds of things which were very funny.
We finished off with a wonderful lunch prepared by all the cooking tutors and plenty of wine which was just lovely
Bruce snapped lots of pictures which I just have to download and will post very soon
