Question
Sharon had just graduated high school, literally. Only thirty minutes earlier, she was walking across the stage and accepting her diploma. After she accepted it, she continued walking; off the stage, through the crowd, and out of the school. She was ready to start her adult life, and she felt that she could not do that if she spent the rest of the day and the month reliving her high school memories. She told herself that moving on with her life required the abandonment of childish friends, desires, and memories. She was ready to be a new person, or at least she thought she was ready.
