Let the formalities begin
Filed Under (Personal) by elusivone on 13-12-2008
This past Wednesday, I officially ended my career as an undergraduate student by completing my final in a grammar class at 9:00am. However, today is the day that I partake in the formality of walking across a stage, wearing a cap, gown, tassel, and honors cord, to accept a ceremonial diploma before the eyes of my parents and a few friends. In the past, I hadn’t given much thought to whether or not this ceremony meant something to me; I’m actually still not completely convinced that it does. But all in all, I do believe that it means something to not only me, but my family as well.
It has taken me 15 years to complete my Bachelor’s Degree. What with changing schools several times, having a career in there for almost 10 years, a marriage, and subsequently, a divorce, the life path I had chosen was by far not a straight line. But I got here. And now I should be able to pursue a dream I have had for a long time, to teach. And that? I suppose that is what makes this ceremony even the more worthwhile.
