graduation · to graduate · to finish school

My father graduated from Harvard University.

These days many young people work without much focus; my friend's son hadn't gone two years after graduating before he'd changed jobs five times.

She was only 18 when she graduated from university.

Recently I attended the wedding of a Chinese friend. The bride and groom had been classmates at university, and both graduated from the Chinese faculty. They've already been together for five years.

In 2009, I had graduated from high school but I still hadn't started university.
