Snakkle Flashes Back Through Television’s Best Graduations
They say high school is the best time of a young person’s life, and when looking back over the famous high school classes of television’s past, it’s a hard to disagree. So flip back through television’s high school yearbook with Snakkle as we explore our favorite graduation episodes of all of TV time. By Danielle TurchianoFor the Life Unexpected series finale, the show fast-forwarded into the future for its final scene, so we didn’t get an entire episode spectacle of Lux’s graduation, but her short-and-sweet speech proved powerful nonetheless. More than any other character on television, she overcame the most adversity to get to graduation—from being born with a heart defect, to growing up in foster care, to getting diagnosed late in life with a learning disability, to admitting to abuse, and having an affair with a teacher. But she did it, and as she looked out over the small crowd of her peers and the diverse group she called a family, she had finally grown up. We weren’t there for every moment along the way, but we were there for the most important ones: when she came knocking on her birth parents’ doors and when she finally called them “Mom” and “Dad.”
