What did you get for High School graduation?

[bobsmith1492]

Um, I'm not sure; cash at my open house and I think a new set of wheels for my truck (or was it the truck itself? these things kind of blend together...)

Nothing. Big fucking deal, HS, lol...

 

[Jumpem]

Nothing, though I never went to high school. Nothing when I graduated college either.

 

[eplebnista]

Got an almost new car.

Cash and a digital video camera. But it's 8 years later, the cash is gone and I think my brother has the video camera.

A stereo system. But my dad wouldn't buy it until I was packing for college. Smart dad.

Nothing. Are you supposed to be rewarded for graduating high school?

Yes, it is one of those social pressure, you're a jerk if you don't give, occasions like weddings and retirement parties.

I just gave my kid an iPhone.

Now if she'll just move out, I can finally have strippers over :heart:

 

[imported_Imp]

Zip. Didn't matter anyways, it was straight onto college after summer and a diploma was no longer 'enough'.

Cash from relatives and stuff. Parents offered to pay for my private pilot's license that I have yet to find time to get.

Damn, some of you guys were so lucky. I didn't get anything. I would have been happy if my parents had just pitched in for some of my college expenses. They bought me a fridge when I moved out and that's it.

Nothing.

An all-expenses paid trip to Southeast Asia.

Got to travel to the UK to visit my relatives there for 3 weeks, got to see Stonehenge, Cheddar caves, Tower of London, Blenheim Palace (home of Sir Winston Churchill), Buckingham Palace etc. Also got to watch Euro Sport 96' and seeing the Brits go mad after losing to Germany.

My sister in law gave me a nice beer mug. I wasn't even legal at the time as I graduated at 17 (The legal drinking age at the time was 18). I didn't get anything else but I didn't send out invitations so I wasn't really expecting anything. I always thought highly of the gift though.

So is there an old and decrepit crew on ATOT, or are you the only one?

 

[xanis]

I got a Magellan GPS for my car and a really nice Samsonite luggage bag.

Oh, and I got cash too from the relatives.

 

[MovingTarget]

Some $ and a piece of paper.
