Apologies, a highly dense English person stands before you...!!
'Graduation'...the word gets bandied about so much, but I've never fully realised the concept of it...
Is it simply when you leave school/education with the appropriate qualifications, or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?
If so, mine was 1983...I finally completed digging my tunnel...!!

Dug my tunnel quicker...!!
Due to my being born in June, I was actually one of the youngest kids in the class (the academic year starts in September), thus I officially left school at 15, the normal age being 16...
In other words, I should really have been in the year below and finished a year later - but why prolong the agony?!!

We had more in 84! Right C.F. 1984 ahhh what a year. I remember after graduating getting the best sleep of my academic life. I didn't wake with a start when my mum stepped on the squeaky floorboard. I still sleep better than I ever did whilst I was in school.
So for graduation years I will say 1984 and 2007, thats the year I will become an RN!

I dropped out of school in 1986.
I finished my O levels in '85 so I could've left then but stayed on to do A levels. I had problems with many of the people in my class (i.e. they were a bunch of dicks mainly) and found it hard to do group work when no one talks to me because "you're such a weirdo".

LOL. Well done, Paul for getting the hard bit out of the way. The British don't say graduation unless they are referring to university (this being from a person that didn't go to one ;D) they just simply 'left school'.
I 'left school' in 1998 after finishing my A' levels. :)

No it wasn't that far away, and it doesn't even seem like it was that long ago at all when I just look at it as being alittle over three years ago. But, when I think about it in terms of the 8th graders now being Seniors and 5th graders being Freshman now then it seems like it has been a while. I mean I mentored 5th graders, teaching them basic German, when I was a Senior and now to think they are in high school, crazy.
