So today I graduated from 8th grade. But first I'm getting to ahead of myself. I go to a christian school. A Seventh Day Adventist school to be exact. There where only 2 graduates. My and some other girl. Near the end I was going to say a closing speech on an impulse, that I was certain people would've liked. But my father called as I told him it would be over at 8, but it was 8:30. So I didn't do it. I got to nervous.
So after that we all went to the after party upstairs of my school. I was enjoying myself when all the sudden all these people I don't even know congratulates me, and tells me I did good. But another thing that confused me was they they gave me money. I didn't even know these people, and they gave me money. I stayed there 30 minutes more before my father picked me up. During that time I got $90 from people I don't even know. There where more gifts with more cards and such, and I'm sure they too where the same. I didn't even know this one guy but he must have went into his wallet, and when he shook my hand, because he was to embarrassed to just give it to me, there it was ten dollars.
But now I feel so bad I left early. I don't know these people, but at the same time they all treated me as if I was truly there own family member. They treated me equal or greater then my family. I feel as though I let them all down. I didn't go up there and do my speech, and I didn't stay there long enough. I feel like a real failure. It's like I let my entire family down.
I think the answer is obvious. Like I can see it but it's fuzzy, or maybe that I don't want to see it. But what should I do? What could I do to even show my thanks? It doesn't feel like I can do anything. But I guess I just need some advise now.
