Graduation Ceremony
Today a graduation ceremony took place at my university.
卒業式
Students who would graduate were wearing hakama (Japanese skirts or culottes) or suits, and they looked excited.
今日は私の大学で卒業式が行われました。
The graduation ceremony ended in the morning, and the conferment of degree was conducted at each laboratory from the afternoon.
卒業する生徒たちは、スーツや袴に身を包み、わくわくした顔つきをしていました。
After that we took pictures with everybody, and each of us made some comments, then my boss and I presented memorabilia to the students.
午前中で式典が終わり、午後からは各研究室で学位記の授与が行われました。
I was about to cry due to the reaction of the students, but I bit the inside of my cheeks.
その後全員で写真を撮り、ひとりひとりコメントをして、記念品の贈呈をしました。
The day when students that I taught for one year as a teacher graduated and got out into the world was deeply emotional for me.
学生につられて少し泣きそうになりましたが、堪えました。
