What is the purpose of Maya Angelou's "Graduation"?

For AP English, we have to explain how tone, connotiation diction, or imagery etc contribute to the purpose of "Graduation" by Maya Angelou. But I don't even get the purpose of her story! Help, please??

Personally, I thought it was to illustrate rejection and racism.

Forget what it means. When you read it...how does it make you feel? And why is that? How come it makes you feel anything?

That is what you are loking for.
