When most parents send their children off to their first day of kindergarten, they snap a picture to document the occasion.
This picture is one of the most cherished pictures in a parent's heart. It's the start of the kid's journey through life as he or she figures out what passions to pursue.
The last day of high school is another big milestone that deserves its own picture. The best is when the student recreates the picture that was taken at the start of that 12-year-long adventure.
These pictures of kids on their first and last days of school make you realize how far kids come in just over a decade, and just how precious those mornings sending them off to school really are.
