People are sobbing over a high school graduation video that illustrates how fast time flies.<\/p>\n

The now-viral clip<\/a>, which is set to Elvis Presley\u2019s \u201cBurning Love,\u201d begins with a group of kindergarteners waving outside of their classroom. One by one, they jump over the camera and out of frame. The video seamlessly cuts to kids jumping into the frame on the other side, now high school seniors clad in caps and gowns.<\/p>\n

Jenn Wilson, a communications coordinator at Louisville High School in Ohio, came up with the idea. The video enlisted current kindergarteners (the class of 2036) as well as the class of 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past few months, every parent I\u2019ve spoken with has said the same thing: \u2018In the blink of an eye, your kids are grown,\u2019\u201d Wilson tells TODAY.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It feels that way for the students as well. Brooke Haren, who app<\/a>ears in the video, remembers being little and thinking that 2024 seemed so far away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen all of the sudden you\u2019re walking across the stage with your class,\u201d Haren, 18, says. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matti Benson, who is headed to University of Maryland, feels the exact same way as Haren.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe blinked and now we\u2019re getting ready for college,\u201d Benson says.<\/p>\n

Louisville High School principal Garry Tausch says he was emotional watching the video \u2014 especially the part where the 12th graders pull the kindergarteners towards them.<\/p>\n

“The visualization is very powerful,” Tausch says. “It’s that quick and they’re gone.”<\/p>\n

The video has racked up hundreds of comments on Tausch’s Instagram.<\/p>\n

“Oh my God, these are not my children and I\u2019m sitting here with tears in my eyes. This is the most amazing graduation video I\u2019ve ever seen,” one person wrote.<\/p>\n

Added another, “This is so very true. I just watched my granddaughter graduate last night and it feels just like yesterday I was pacing the floors waiting for her to be born. I think I must have blinked one too many times!!!!!”<\/p>\n
