graduation

I remember my Mechanicville High School graduation, vaguely, but I do know that the only musical entertainment was our high school band and choir. I wish things were cooler when I graduated, but I can't be jealous of the Class of 2017, or maybe I am just a little because this artist will be showing up.

Jaclyn Aubin knew that Sunday was going to be special. It was her graduation day from Siena College and of course it was mother's day, but what she didn't expect was a visit from a family member she hadn't seen in 5 months.

My mom and I are pretty close but even I don't think that we would have been able to accomplish this together. After many years, both of them decided to go to college and what they achieved was more that just a degree.

Did you go to one of the 10 best schools for graduation rate in the Capital Region?

Is it wrong to leave a graduation ceremony early? We had people weighing in on both sides of this issue today on the show. I personally took the stance that no, it isn't wrong and a good amount of people thought I was a terrible person if I even considered it.

This video is so cool, it gives me chills!

If you listen to me on the radio much you may know my stance on elementary and middle school graduations and moving up ceremonies is pretty simple, they are dumb! I have always said that the praise should wait until at least the  high school graduation. The fact that you are simply moving to another grade or building isn't cause for celebrations and diplomas.

First of all, do not try this at your graduation this summer! The risk/reward factor alone tells you this is a dumb move. Let's be honest , even if the kid pulled this off it still would have seemed a bit D-baggy. Not pulling it off, well now you are a national treasure of fail.

Remember those kids in high school that thought they were just so cool?  They made fun of the poor kids, they made "friends" with all the teachers, they were the jocks, the bullies, the hot girls... etc. Well, a brilliant guy named Jason Headley has made a video just for those kids...

Congratulations to the Class of 2013! Here are just a few of our proud graduates in the Albany-Saratoga, New York area. If you would like to add a name to the list, please post in the comment section below.

High school graduation is a right of passage, although for one of the country artists featured in this list of singers wearing the cap and gown, it took a decade or two to walk across the stage.
