Last week the Juniors had the Junior Ring Ceremony. It is a ceremony that represents growing up and moving into the last stage of our high school lives. As I was thinking about what I was going to do for Blog Post I realized that there is something very similar to this ceremony in Roman Culture. The Coming of Age Ceremony reminded me a lot of our Junior Ring Ceremony. Coming of age meant becoming a adult in roman society. The children came of age at 15 and at the ceremony received a toga to represent that they are an adult. I found these ceremonies to be very similar because at each a are given a object that represents moving on, and both ceremonies are a celebration of becoming adults, in our case becoming seniors.'
