Note from a highschool graduation ceremony

Tin,my cousin, had just got the graduation exam test result and he was having his last ceremony in Bui Thi Xuan highschool. And I came to take some photos for him. Because it was my first time to join a ceremony in another highschool not mine, I was quite excited to experience. Here are some of my notes:

1/ The school was built in Modernism style which was not my favorite one for a highschool. I prefer the yellow wall red tile roof of French conlonial style of schools like Le Quy Don highschool or my le Hong Phong highschool for the gifted.

2/ Never before had I felt "I'm old" as much. Though there are parents at the ceremony, but the boys and girls in white chemise and "ao dai" at their age of 18 made anybody older there have the same feeling with me.

3/ White is always the best colour for student uniform. Clean and bright.

4/ Some people used ceremony as an opportunity to advertise. It's fine but some over-used their chance and it became a bad performance.

5/ Bui Thi Xuan highschool got an amazing achievement with 8 years of 100% of students passing the exam. It's funny that my school "for the gifted" always has someone fail it each year.

6/ 9X generation obviously has a better physical health. I could see the height and thickness of their bodies. When will the youth of Vietnam has the same height as Koreans or Japanese ?

And some photos :-D
