The students’ summer vacation starts with the school’s spring festival. Public figures also celebrated the end of their own, their children’s or friends’ studies.

For example, a chef you know from TV Henri Alen48, celebrates graduating from high school Mimi-daughter with a rare photo together.

Instagram-in the photo of the publication, father and daughter are sitting on the steps of the terrace with their golden retriever. Alén is wearing a white collared shirt, dark trousers and a wristwatch, while Mimi is wearing a pink dress, white high heels and, of course, a graduation cap.

– Congratulations to the recent graduates! Today is a big day for my daughter Mimi and the other graduates. So proud of Mimi who made it through high school just fine and today we celebrate. The weather warms up and life smiles!

Finance minister Riikka Purra48, sets the mood for school leavers Instagramin his stories. His youngest child graduated from elementary school. The big day of change makes Purra remember her own middle school party. Instagram stories are visible 24 hours after publication.

– Kasiklukkao’s party already started the day before. On Friday, it was a bit late, until the morning. It was really hot and we spent time in Koskipuisto. I didn’t have a role in the spring festival, so I took it easy. I went to a friend’s for the night, the minister explains.

– In the morning I go straight to school. I was wearing fashionable and tattered denim shorts as a memory of the previous night, and I didn’t seem to be dressed for a party anyway. I didn’t dare go to the ballroom. However, I got my certificate. And in the evening, party again at Pyynik – it was an evening, he adds with an emoji covering his face.

Purra remembers having to give a speech at the graduation ceremony of the primary class. According to Purra, his speech was different and humorous and “not at all suitable for the traditional dignity of a Latin school”.

– It started so that, when my name was called, I yelled from behind something like: “Is this some kind of joke?! I really don’t make any speeches at this school!” Then I was dragged on stage.

– I don’t remember the details of the speech, but I do remember that there were spikes in it about the school’s certain importance. I really appreciated good teachers and gave them credit. The audience laughed, sometimes even howled, so the speech was a success.

Wellness coach Karita Likes49, posted pictures of his son’s spring party Instagramin his stories. In the first picture, Tykkä is sitting in the school gym. In the following pictures, Tykkä poses with her 16-year-old son Luca, dressed in a blue and strapless dress. Tykkä has also published a picture where he and Luca are having cake and coffee.

Artiste Hanna Pakarinen45, celebrated his own graduation certificate. Pakarinen enrolled in adult high school in November 2022, because he wanted to finally get a high school diploma for himself. Instagram-in the first picture of his publication, Pakarinen is smiling broadly with a high school cap on his head.

– Studying in high school was a revolutionary and healing experience. The music industry in all its craziness is terrible, because even if you work for two years straight, you can never be sure if it will take you forward and if you can continue? Pakarinen ponders.

During his school trip, Pakarinen participated, among other things Masked Singer Finland– and Just life – programs. Pakarinen reminds us that taking care of his mental health was important in his studies.

– None of the above would either have happened or would have been significantly more difficult if I hadn’t actively taken care of myself at the same time. I underwent a three-year period of psychotherapy, during which I received several diagnoses, medication and recovery. It feels like I’m recalibrating myself and getting a second chance, he says.

A couple of wellness coaches Trap46, and Aki Manninen50, made a wish Instagrampublication Donna-about the end of her daughter’s eskar. Donna is their only child.

– Only a moment ago, the small backpack seemed too big on the back, and now the road to school is already waiting ahead. The spring celebration was full of emotion, pride, tears of emotion and joy. And with children, of course, also those moments when a sausage song can fit in the middle of the sensitization. My heart is full of gratitude today, the parents expressed.

Manninten’s update has a video where Donna performs at the school’s spring party. First Donna sings about spring, and next about sausages.

– First you wipe tears from the corner of your eyes, and then you laugh at the sausage song, Manniset writes in the caption of their video.

– Always remain this happy self, my dear, the parents say to Donna.
