I graduate from college this December. My family and most of my friends live very far away, which makes it difficult for everyone to attend. My mom (divorced from my dad), extended family, and all but one of my siblings have already told me they cannot come. Every time I speak to my dad about it, he says we will talk about it later. My husband is in college, too, but he will not graduate for more than a year, and he does not seem thrilled about planning anything for the day. I am the top student in my department, I have won numerous awards, and it has taken me 6 years to get to this point after beginning school at 24 and having 3 children. I have no desire to put anyone in financial hardship over this, and it seems selfish to put on a day that is solely for me. Should I quietly walk in commencement and tell everyone not to come, just leave things as is, or not walk so that the money is not spent and I do not get my feelings hurt that no one could be there?
