I did not graduate from kindergarten. When I was in kindergarten it was in a k through 4th grade school. Then they restructured the schools the next year and I was put into a first through 5th school. My brother, who was 4 years older than me (and still is, oddly enough) got to be the oldest year in his school twice. I got to be the youngest year in my school twice. I don't know if he graduated from both 4th and 5th grade though.

I did graduate in 5th, but we didn't wear robes. I think I graduated from 8th (Middle School), but I cannot remember the graduation at all. I definitely graduated from 12th (High School) and had a robe. I didn't want to go, but I did it to make my mother happy. I graduated from college/university, but I didn't go to the ceremony nor have a good reason to as I graduated at an off time of year.

I think I'd have enjoyed more graduation ceremonies when I was younger and fewer when I was older. By the time I was older, the ceremony didn't really mean anything to me. The graduating does, sure, but not the ceremony.
