I graduated younger than most. There wasn't a prom but a ceremony was held during which they gifted the top students of excellent scores: televisions, computers and trips to other countries.
Everyone's parents were present except mine.
It was national. There were only two other females.
I got to shake Abdelaziz Bouteflika's Hands, the Algerian president. And had a hug from some woman that smelt of sweat.

@Miram what would that have to do with them coming to support their child’s achievements? I’m not sure I understand

In the Sunni sect of Islam, Salafism, you are not supposed to behave against your parents will unless their will contradicts the teachings in the religion. They preferred I finish a non secular education path. Going against that , and against an arranged marriage besides other things that happened meant not living with them anymore.

@Miram while I am sorry for the separation and damage to your relationship with them. I hope you are proud of what you worked for, even if they cannot be. You are pretty awesome

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I think the greatest journey there is would be striving to let love flow through us instead of pain, anger and hatred. It is more than an achievement. I see it in you.
It took me a long time to start freeing myself from my past. But I am doing it and that is something to be proud of ❤ with the help of many even the smallest gestures.
