Robin had done it. After four years of toiling day and night, he was finally going to walk down the stage, shake hands with the
president, and get his Engineering diploma. As he sat among the crowd, his heart beamed with joy. Robin was already dreaming of the perfect job he had to find and the adventurous life he was to live. It will be like a dream. Robin knew he still had the student loan to pay off and many mundane details to take care of, but he just wanted to dream about his bright future for now. He even daydreamed as he actually walked down the stage. Reality only slapped him on the face when the office of alumni relations, standing on the other end of the stage, gave him an alumni pin and asked for a donation to support his alma mater. Which of these reveals the irony in Robin's situation? A. He is asked for a donation while he has to pay the student loan. B. He keeps on dreaming during an important occasion of his life. C. He is thinking about mundane details while he is graduating. D. He dreams of the perfect job and adventures before they happen.
