High School Graduation Moldovan Style…And I Mean Style

Today I attended the high school graduation ceremony for the village of Cojusna. And let me tell you how much way cooler it is than American graduation ceremonies. First of all, each graduate walks in to the theme of Star Wars. Enough said.


Then the graduates sang several songs and read poems (I think they were reading poems. I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but that’s my guess of what was happening).


Next the graduates danced a waltz. It reminded me of a princess scene from a Disney movie. Once again, I was jealous.


After the mayor of Cojusna spoke for a bit, the graduates were given their diplomas. Following that, the graduates danced again. This time, one of the students sang “Once Upon a December” from the Anastasia movie.


Then they danced the hora!!


They ended the ceremony with a song, and this time I could hear the men singing. Beats an American graduation by far! Note to self: next graduation take place in Moldova.
