Start with your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm facing up. Form a 'G' handshape with your dominant hand (index finger and thumb extended parallel to each other). Make a small circular or looping motion in the air with your dominant hand, then bring the side of your hand down to rest firmly on the open palm of your non-dominant hand.
Sign 'you', 'go', and then 'graduation' by making the 'G' handshape circle and land on your flat base hand. Remember to raise your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.
Point to yourself for 'my', sign 'graduation', and then sign 'next week' by moving your dominant index finger forward from your non-dominant flat hand.
Sign 'congratulations' by clasping your hands and shaking them slightly, point to the person for 'your', and finish with the sign for 'graduation'.

Yes, the sign is exactly the same for both 'graduate' and 'graduation.' The context of your sentence will let the person you are signing with know whether you are referring to the event or the action.
Yes, the dominant 'G' hand should make contact with the open palm of your non-dominant hand at the end of the circular motion. This physical contact represents the finality or completion of the graduation.
The circular motion is typically a small backward or inward loop towards yourself before landing on the base hand. It doesn't need to be perfectly precise, as long as it shows a small tumbling or looping movement before making contact.
