Tears on Graduation Day 

Graduation day finally came.
It was supposed to be a happy day, but it turned into a river of tears.
We were ready to say goodbye, but our hearts didn’t want to.
Everyone tried to hold back their feelings, but in the end, we all cried together.

I woke up early on graduation day.
I put on my school uniform and brushed my hair.
My parents told me to cheer up, but I felt nervous.
When I walked into the school, I saw all my friends.
Some smiled, some tried to hide their tears.

We lined up in front of the gym.
The teachers told us to stay quiet and sit down.
When the music started, we stood up and walked in slowly.
Our parents were already there, waving and taking pictures of us.
We sat down and listened to the speeches.

When the principal stood up to speak, I looked around.
Many students were already crying.
Then our teacher got up and gave her speech.
She talked about our growth and our dreams.
She said we should always believe in ourselves.
Her voice cracked, and that made us all tear up.

After the speeches, we went up to the stage to get our diplomas.
When it was my turn, I stood tall and walked up the stairs.
I smiled, but I wanted to break down crying.
My hands were shaking as I took the diploma.
The teacher gave me a hug and whispered, “I’m proud of you.”

After the ceremony, we all went outside.
I tried to hold on to every second.
Friends were taking selfies and hugging.
Some were laughing, others were crying hard.
I found my best friend and we hugged tightly.
We promised to keep in touch no matter what.

I also went over to my teacher.
I gave her a letter I had written the night before.
She read it out loud, and both of us cried again.
I told her I would never forget about her.
She said I would always stay in her heart.

My parents came and took pictures with me.
They said I had really grown up.
I looked at the photo and saw tears in my eyes.
I tried to smile through them.
Then we all got together for one last class photo.
The photographer told us to look at the camera and smile.

We said goodbye to our classroom.
Some students wrote down messages on the board.
Others cleaned up their desks quietly.
I picked up my bag and looked around one last time.
Everything felt different now.

We walked out of the school building slowly.
I saw some teachers wave at us with watery eyes.
As we stepped out, the school bell rang once more.
It sounded like a song saying, “Goodbye.”
We stood there, crying, smiling, not wanting to leave.

Even though we were sad, we felt thankful.
We were lucky to have had such good teachers and friends.
We knew it was time to move on,
but a part of us would always stay behind.
Graduation wasn’t the end—it was a new beginning.
And we would always look back on this day with full hearts.

해석

드디어 졸업식 날이 왔어요.

기쁜 날이 알았지만, 눈물이 멈추지 않았어요.

우리는 작별 인사를 준비는 되었지만,

마음은 그렇지 않았죠.

모두 감정을 참으려 했지만, 결국 함께 울고 말았어요.

 

졸업식 아침, 저는 일찍 일어났어요.

교복을 입고, 머리를 빗었죠.

부모님은 기운 내라고 하셨지만, 저는 긴장됐어요.

학교에 들어섰을 , 친구들이 보였어요.

어떤 친구는 웃고, 어떤 친구는 눈물을 숨기려 했어요.

 

체육관 앞에 줄을 섰고,

선생님은 우리에게 조용히 앉으라고 하셨어요.

음악이 흐르자 우리는 일어나서 천천히 입장했어요.

부모님은 이미 와서 사진을 찍고 계셨어요.

우리는 자리에 앉아 연설을 들었어요.

 

교장 선생님이 일어나시자, 저는 주변을 둘러봤어요.

많은 친구들이 이미 울고 있었어요.

우리 선생님이 일어나서,

우리가 자란 이야기와 꿈에 대해 말씀하셨어요.

“항상 자신을 믿어야 한다 하셨죠.

말에 선생님의 목소리가 떨렸고,

그걸 듣고 우리도 울컥했어요.

 

우리는 무대에 올라가 졸업장을 받았어요.

차례가 되어 계단을 오르며, 당당하게 섰지만,

마음속으로는 울고 싶었어요.

손이 떨렸지만 졸업장을 받았고,

선생님은 저를 안아주시며, “자랑스럽다 속삭이셨어요.

 

식이 끝난 우리는 모두 밖으로 나왔어요.

모든 순간을 간직하고 싶었어요.

친구들은 셀카를 찍고 포옹했어요.

웃는 아이도 있었고, 펑펑 우는 아이도 있었죠.

저는 절친과 껴안았고,

“무슨 일이 있어도 연락하자 약속했어요.

 

저는 선생님께 다가갔어요.

전날 편지를 드렸어요.

선생님은 그것을 읽으시고,

우리 눈물을 흘렸어요.

저는 절대 선생님을 잊지 않을 거라고 했어요.

선생님은 제가 항상 자신의 마음속에 있을 거라고 했어요.

 

부모님이 오셔서 사진을 함께 찍으셨어요.

“정말 많이 자랐다 하셨어요.

사진 얼굴엔 눈물이 있었지만,

저는 웃으며 참았어요.

그리고 마지막 단체 사진을 찍기 위해 모였어요.

사진 작가는카메라를 바라보며 웃어주세요라고 했어요.

 

우리는 교실에 작별 인사를 했어요.

어떤 친구는 칠판에 메시지를 적었고,

다른 친구들은 조용히 책상을 정리했어요.

저는 가방을 집어 들고, 교실을 마지막으로 둘러봤어요.

모든 것이 달라 보였어요.

 

우리는 천천히 학교를 걸어나왔고,

몇몇 선생님들이 눈시울을 붉히며 손을 흔드셨어요.

우리가 나설 , 학교 종이 울렸어요.

그건 라고 말하는 노래 같았어요.

우리는 거기 서서, 울고 웃으며 떠나기 싫어했어요.

 

슬펐지만 감사했어요.

좋은 선생님과 친구들을 가질 있어 행복했어요.

비록 앞으로 나아갈 시간이었지만,

우리 마음 일부는 학교에 남아 있었어요.

졸업은 끝이 아닌, 새로운 시작이었죠.

우리는 날을 가득한 마음으로 되돌아볼 거예요.
