After being greeted by families, friends and relatives on the schoolyards they then go in noisy procession through and around the town. Singing at the top of their voices, playing music, shouting and bawling out their youthful delight at finally having become adults. At last they will now be free of school for the rest of their lives, if they should wish so. (Although in my town more than ninety percent of them will go on to university in the fall or next year.)
During this period there are also lots of parties going on to celebrate the occasion, so many youngsters move around town during ungodly hours of the night on their way home.
One young man in particular caught my attention as he for three nights in a row has serenaded me with his beautiful voice. On all three occasions it was around 2:30 AM that he sang this song for me (well my neighbors also - but I like to think it was only for me).
Sadly he did not pass this way last night, I was waiting up to listen to him. He sings this song much better than Bob Marley did.
