What a day today was, oh what a day! It's surreal to me that today I received my (mock) diploma, three years ago this was just a dream. I've pushed my way through immense fears, slept very little, did the tests, wrote the essays and have passed up on a lot of different things I would have liked to be a part of but today all of this was forgotten about. My biggest decision today was what color lipstick I wanted to wear, or was my make up to dark... oh ya and then there was the fear of tripping while walking across the stage, but all turned out extremely well.
I am now a graduate with my diploma in Social Work, I still have about a month left in my practicum and if all goes well I will have most of my summer free then hopefully I will be a University student with one more grad to look forward to in 2012! I have learned that anything in life is possible if one wants it badly enough, if you can dream it, you can be it! Carpe diem... seize the day!
I'm very happy for you -- a goal achieved, honors earned and greater horizons ahead!

ReplyDeleteThank you ever so much Rick, I feel so extremely blessed and grateful to be where I am at in life today. Glory be to God! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the shoes, sheesh, I did get some nice shoes, one problem though, I forgot that I don't wear heels and my feet were killing me after the ceremony so I came home and found some flats so that I could go out to dinner and enjoy my meal! Silly me, but what fun! I felt like a schoolgirl! :-)
Like it says in Ecclesiastes (paraphrased) - "there's nothing better for a man (woman) than to enjoy what he (she) has been given".
ReplyDeleteAmen to that Rick!
