I noticed something funny as I was preparing my thoughts for this day.
If you look up the word graduation on thesaurus.com, it offers you the word commencement as a synonym. That makes sense: sometimes it's called a graduation ceremony, and sometimes it's called a commencement ceremony.
However, if you dig a little deeper, you find that to graduate means to complete an education. But to commence means to begin something, which is the opposite of completing something.
So the words graduation and commencement are synonyms and antonyms at the same time!...
