The Graduation Nights

September 30, 2014

** This must be written in English, out of easiness!! & actually I didn't express myself in English in a while. And sorry for everyone who will find it hard **

** Congrats to all the graduates, and enjoy the new chapter in your lives, and always consider the pledge you said and live with it **

Let's start !! I won't speak a lot about my acceptance journey, but I'll speak more about the 3 days graduation journey. Those days were an example for teamwork & collaboration. Those days were some of my best days ever.

Everyday consists of:

Flow Ushering Team: to guide the graduates to their gate & the parents or VIPs to their gates too.
Parents Ushering Team: to guide the parents to their seats, and maintain that everything is OK and no one is breaking the guidelines.
VIPs Ushering Team: to guide the VIPs to their seats & makes sure that everything is safe & going well.
Graduates Ushering Team: to guide the graduates through out their march & seating, their other march, in addition to their certificate distribution & stage seating.-i was here having loads of fun ^_^

Everyday; we start the march & walk around the parents area & walk also through the VIP area, then we salute the Egyptian National Anthem & the German National Anthem when we reach the graduates seats. Followed by, the speeches of Dr. Ashraf Mansour -GUC prime founder & Chairman of Board of Trustees- and other stuff members (either Administrative members or Academic members), in addition to the highest ranked student from each faculty.

After all the speeches, the Coffee break starts with the GUC Music Ensemble songs & music entertaining the audience. All the graduates are taking photographs with their friends & families.

Later on, the march starts as for every graduate to receive his/her certificate; in addition to capturing the group photo. Then they start by putting the tassel to the right & say the pledge out loud, then turning the tassel to the left.

Then comes the amazing moment of throwing up all the caps and starts shouting out loud ^_^

At the end, starts the celebration & the amazing fireworks by Ahmed Essam !! those fireworks really brings out your inner child; you are just amazed & laughing out loud.

The 3 days were diverse & full of experience. Engineering day, Pharmacy day, & Management and Applied Arts day !! Despite that the same program was done everyday, but everyday was different & full of new experiences.

I can never forget those 3 days, because those days are 3 of the best days in my entire life. Watching the graduates happy & dancing, and watching the parents their eyes are full of tears, and hearing Dr. Ashraf Mansour thanking us-the ushers- & taking pictures with us-the ushers- was an absolute happiness for me.

** Seeing different people every moment , and deal with them helps alot in forming your personality and improving your emotional intelligence **

A message to all the Project Managers: Thanks so much for your effort in organizing this amazing event & special thanks for being that much helpful and solving all our problems. Thanks for being around.

A message to all the Directories and Team Leaders: Thanks for always being around spreading the happiest spirit ever & solving all the mistakes we do throughout the 3 days. Thanks for always keeping a smile on your faces.

A message to the amazing Ushers: Thanks for being brothers & sisters, and for always being friendly & helpful. I've shared with everyone of you a memory or memories that I'll never forget.

Yeah we were one family for 3 days; and we will remain friends always and forever; we shared food, water, happy & stressful moments; simply we can never forget each other because we have our own memories and pictures.

Check out those pictures, that may show the spirit and the feelings we felt !! -Actually I doubt, you've to live those days and those memories with those people and those spirits to know what I'm talking about !!!
