The End is the Beginning is the End

I remember this song by the Smashing Pumpkins from the Original Soundtrack of Batman and Robin.
The End is The Beginning is The End.
Very true to a lot of things in life.
Last night, my sister, the baby of 4 sisters, graduated from High School. She's our youngest sister, my parents' youngest child.
It's the End of her High School, adolescent life. The Beginning of her more mature and adventurous life as she ventures into College. And for my parents... the end of their worrying and over-protecting their 4 precious daughters.
We're all grown up. I, the 1st daughter, now have a family of my own. The 2nd daughter has a job and a pretty serious relationship with her boyfriend. The third one's very much concentrated on her Accountancy course and will hopefully graduate in a year or two. Now, the youngest is going to college and will be done in about 4 years give or take.
They need not worry about any finances as their 2 youngest daughters both have an educational plan that will pay for all their needs in college.
The End is The Beginning is The End.
The end of a lot of worries for my parents, in essence will be the beginning of more worries as well -- for both my parents and my sister too (oh the possible boyfriends -- parents will endlessly worry about, the more rigorous studies my sister will worry about... or maybe the outfit she'll wear for the next party?
)
Nevertheless I'm happy for my sister!
Congratulations dearie, you're no longer a baby... so stop fighting with your 3 year old nephew!
Your sisters and I will be ready to help you in whatever trials college life will give you.
Graduation.
A natural high for both the graduate and their parents (or whoever got them through college).
A source of Pride for both.
A day of anxiety for the graduate -- what's going to happen next, what they'll be facing next?
A day of tears and laughter for the friends who will have to part ways going to different colleges or even cities/states or some even going out of the country.
A day of goodbyes to the teachers and classmates you've spent a good number of years with.
Aaahhh Graduation. I remember those days...
What did you end on your graduation and what began?
