I graduated on July 28, 2012 with highest honors!!
I'm so proud of myself, I don't know what to do. Thank you to everyone who traveled, cleared their day, woke up early, showed up, sent a well-wish, cheered, gave a gift, gave of their time or energy... just to share in the celebration with me! Words do my gratitude no justice.
When I left the ceremony, the first place I went was to Oak Grove Cemetery. I laid my scroll on my grandparent's graves. They valued education more than anyone I know and I know they would have been there. I worked very hard in school for the betterment of my life. I also did it because they weren't afforded that opportunity. A big part of me did it for them. Hopefully they would have been proud of me...
This is just the beginning ...
