Why are graduations important?

According to the website Graduations Now (a company manufacturing and supplying graduation products), one's graduation day is a culmination of time, energy, and work a person has put in to obtain their qualification. It allows the graduate and those close to them to celebrate their achievement.

The company listed five reasons to attend graduation ceremonies:

1. It's not an everyday event: While it doesn't happen every day, it's also something not everyone gets to do. Even if a person is fortunate to have more than one graduation after pursuing multiple degrees, it won't be the same as the first.
2. May be the last time you and your course friends are together: After graduation, people take on new adventures, whether it be new jobs or furthering their education. The moment can be dedicated to celebrating the journey people have taken with you before parting ways.
3. It's a landmark event: Graduations can be signs that things are changing, and life will be different as you move into various environments.
4. You get to be celebrated: They are not only events where you can be proud of yourself, but it is also a reason for family and friends to see one of your biggest moments and celebrate it.
5. It's fun: Sometimes, it's necessary to take time to celebrate and appreciate such an amazing milestone in your life by creating memories to reminisce.
