格里昂毕业日 - 你的人生真正开始的那一天
你看！这一天来临了。你整晚上都没有睡着，一直在想着这一天，现在它终于来临了！梦想过，憧憬过，这一天终于浮现在眼前。这一天是你的求学生涯中重要的一天，是你将会永远铭记的日子，它的重要性和你的结婚日期以及你的子女出生日期可以相提并论。
时光回到2011年12月9日，我是如何迎向这一天的？
早上早早地醒来，你看看镜子里的自己，你知道无论今天发生什么，你都会努力记住今天发生的每一件事、每一个细节！当你系好领带走进校园的时候，你越来越清楚地认识到这一天的重要性以及你接下来要做的事。你在校园门口见到了每一位同学，于是你完全忘记了自己的紧张和压力。大家一起欢呼、欢笑，你享受着这个时刻，就好像今天与往常无异。
但是，当你从校车上下来，你看到你所在的这个地方，一个巨大的大礼堂，背景是格里昂的标识，你就开始一点一点地明白真正发生的事情。当他们把你带来彩排的时候，整个氛围都变得更加严肃，但是你只意识到一旦演出开始，你看到你的父母，他们的脸上挂着最自豪的笑容，你就意识到今天是你毕业的日子！
随着一个个名字被宣读，家人鼓掌，亲友祝贺，你在长长的队伍中等待着自己的时刻，等待着自己的名字被宣读到。你看到在你前面的朋友们走过舞台，你内心有一些情感升腾起来，你努力想抓住这些情感，因为你的时刻就要到了。一旦这个时刻来临，你的名字会在现场500位观众面前宣读，聚光灯照在你的身上，相机的闪光灯闪烁，你的学院院长拿着一个信封在等着你，你从舞台上走过，那种感觉很特别，欢乐、幸福、成功的感觉，你完成了一件伟大的事情：你毕业了！
从那一刻开始，你就像在另一个世界里，像一个气泡飘浮在空中，漂浮在一个平行宇宙里。除了毕业生们，别人无法理解这种感受。拍照留念之后，喝一杯口感醇厚的鸡尾酒，你最后一次这样坐在校园里，看着自己的周围，看到每个人的眼睛里都是欢庆。这样的欢庆气氛将贯穿整个黑色礼服晚宴。
但是晚上最棒的事情是什么？作为格里昂人，格里昂精神已深植于我们每个人心中，聚餐之后的派对是这种精神的一种体现方式。你感觉这次派对过了很长很长时间才结束，你感觉你在这次派对中看到了很久以前的自己，而没有意识到这可能是你最后一次见到一些人，你只是尽情地享受这个派对的欢乐气氛。
但是天下没有不散的筵席，随着夜晚临近结束，大家一个接一个开始走出去道别。这样过了一个或两个小时，那些对你来说比家人还要亲密的100多位同伴们都彼此含泪告别。
这时候你才明白自己都经历了些什么，才明白和这样一群特别的、可信赖的伙伴们经历过这样一种生活有多么幸运。无论你在今后的生活中经历什么，这段回忆始终会萦绕于心，你回首看这段岁月的时候，会忆起曾经有过如此美好的经历。
你的毕业日不仅仅是一个与往常不同的节日；不仅仅是你向空中抛出你的学位帽、宣称你获得了一个学位；也不仅仅是向你的朋友们告别、此后再无相见：这是一个你的人生真正开始的日子 …

The Day Your Life Begins
by Karim Mostafa 26 June 2013
There you go! The day is here, you haven’t slept all night thinking of this day and now here it is! After dreaming about it, imagining it, the day is finally here. It is a day for the books, a date you will always remember, falling in the category with your wedding date and the birth of your child.
How did the day go for me back on 9th December 2011?
Waking up really early, you look at yourself in the mirror and you know that whatever happens today, you will always remember each and every single detail of it! As you put on your tie and walk to the campus, you realize more and more the importance of that day and what you are about to do. You meet up with everyone in front of the campus and completely forget the stress and pressure you have. Cheering, laughter, you enjoy this time as if it was like any other day.
Though, once you get out of the bus and discover the place you are at, a huge amphitheater with GLION logo in background, you start understanding bit by bit what is really happening. As they take you for rehearsal, things do get more serious but you only realize once the show is about to start, and you see your parents with their proudest smile on their face, this is when you realize that today is your graduation day!
As the names are being called, families applauding, faculties congratulating, you wait in queue for your turn to come, and your name to be called. Seeing your friends in front of you as they walk across the stage, your emotions start getting to you and you try hard to hold it together as your turn is coming. Once it does, your name is called in front of 500 people, the spotlights are on you, camera flashing, your academic dean waiting for you with an envelope, you walk across that stage and the feeling is unique, joy and happiness, feeling of success, a great accomplishment has been made, you have just graduated!
From that moment onwards, you are in another world, a bubble up in the air, an alternate universe, and no one understands it but the graduates. Following photo shoots, it is time for a very dense cocktail, where you sit down for the last time in campus, look around you and see the celebration in everybody’s eyes. This celebration will follow you throughout the night in your black tux for the Gala dinner.
But what is the best thing of the night? As Glioners, with the Glion Spirit deep in us, the party after the dinner is one of a kind. It has been feeling like the end for so long, that party you feel like your old self, with no realization that this might be the last time you see some people, you just enjoy it to the fullest.
But every good thing comes to an end and by the end of the night, one by one they have started to go out on the street and say goodbye. For an hour or two, more than 100 people that are more than family to you are all sharing tears while saying goodbye to one another.
This is when you realize what you have been through and how incredibly blessed you are to have experienced such a lifestyle with unique and incredible people. This is the part that no matter what you see in life, will always be engraved in you when you look back at that day and remember how amazing it was.
Your Graduation day is not just another day, it is not the day you throw your hat in the air and say you got a degree, it is not the day where you bid goodbye to your friends and don’t see them again, it is the day your life begins…
