May 7th, 2011 aka McKendree graduation day!
I graduated yesterday from college. Still a bit shocked that it’s all over. The last four years have been absolutely amazing, I have learned so much.
My family (and friends) came to share my day with me, and it was especially meaningful for my family as I am the first to graduate college.
Many “Congratulations” and hugs from the entire event– it was incredibly surreal. Some things are anitclimactic in life, but this certainly wasn’t. It felt amazing to hear my name called, and especially hear Magna Cum Laude after my name.
I still can’t believe it happened. Goodbye’s are certainly difficult and it will really hit me sometime later. But change is coming, regardless. No matter where I go in life, McKendree and my McKendree family will always remain in my heart. “Students Once, Alumni Forever”
